The story in "Game of Thrones: Episode 2 - The Lost Lords" progresses at a slow pace, introducing new characters while failing to advance the Forrester family's narrative meaningfully. Despite some confusion from multiple storylines and a lack of exploration, the plot becomes increasingly intriguing, with strong original characters and engaging drama between the Forrester and Whitehill families. Overall, while the episode has its flaws, it is considered a solid continuation of the series, featuring notable highlights for fans.

- “The plot is getting more intriguing by the second and the feud between the Forresters and the Whitehills makes for good drama.”

- “The disparate storylines water down the experience, but new elements add enough to make the journey worthwhile.”
- “That all said, the watercolor graphics style doesn’t really fit, the save system is awful, and I kind of wish Telltale were in less of a hurry to tell the plot so they could put in some more character-building moments.”
