Game of Thrones Episode 1: Iron from Ice Review (PC)
Game of Thrones Episode 1 acts more or less as a prologue by setting the stage for the many events that will happen in the next five chapters. It delivers a decent experience in terms of dialog but falls short when it comes to action sequences or impactful choices. The visuals in particular weigh it down, so let's hope some improvement can be made with the next few episodes. Play Video

Although Game of Thrones: Episode One - Iron from Ice is yet to test new waters with its gameplay, the difference of multiple lead characters and their impact on the bigger world is very promising and it's going to be interesting to see how it pays off in future releases. As a standalone chapter, whilst a little narrative heavy and gameplay light, it's a great start that fans of Telltale and Martin's series will adore, capturing the tone of the source material perfectly.

Available on PS4 (reviewed), Xbox One, PC, Xbox 360, PS3, iOSCurb your enthusiasm and dare not to be disappointed: this first episode of Telltale’s Game of Thrones adaptation is very much an opening chapter. It sets up characters and situations, starts forming themes and building atmosphere. There’s a lot that goes on here that will probably pay off in the months to come. This is Telltale working on a larger scale, on what might turn out to be its most ambitious project yet.
