Overall Rating: 6.5/10
As with most "Telltale Series" games, this game focuses on choices and story crafting in an effort to immerse you in a 'roleplay' like experience. While the gameplay itself doesn't offer much of a challenge, the story acts as an interactive novel in which your decisions will shape the world around you. "Game of Thrones - A Telltale Game Series" is loosely based on the events of the renowned television series and even features some of the same actors and actresses reprising their roles. Your "house" represents a small family who has the misfortune of being caught up the grim events that occur within seasons three and four. It is up to you to lead them on their journey towards whatever may come. In hindsight, the game was exciting and sometimes anxiety inducing; but the overall experience was quite good. If you like other "Telltale" games and happen to be a fan of "Game of Thrones", I certainly recommend that you find a way to get your hands on it.
