Critic Reviews
Telltale's Game of Thrones Episode 6 Review
Telltale’s Game of Thrones: Episode 6 is a worthy, if slightly underwhelming, ending to the developer’s first crack at the subject matter. Perhaps with some time and a little more creative freedom they might be able to craft a truly open-ended story to satisfy even the most finicky of gamers.
75%Game of Thrones - The Ice Dragon Review (PC)
Game of Thrones - The Ice Dragon is a good closing chapter for the first season of the video game, managing to deliver some satisfying final moments for the main protagonists and to confound the expectations of players to some extent. Telltale Games is also creating plenty of narrative space that it can exploit when it creates a full second season, probably after the HBO airs its series of new episodes in the spring of next year. For long-term fans of Game of Thrones, the experience of the video game can be a little disappointing from a narrative standpoint, but they should play it because it does offer some tense moments that perfectly align with the themes of the books. For those who have not interacted with the fantasy universe created by R.R. Martin so far, it's a better idea to first watch the HBO-produced series or to read the books and only then to see what Telltale Games has done with the setting.
