    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.

    • “The story is certainly starting to pick up the pace and the player is left wondering who among their current crop of characters will live to see the end.”
    • “The plot is getting more intriguing by the second and the feud between the Forresters and the Whitehills makes for good drama.”
    • “While Cersei and Ramsay's omission is felt and backdrops still haven't improved on episode one, the story remains strong and Castle Black sticks out as a big highlight for Game of Thrones fans.”
    • “The lost lords neglect to advance the Forresters' story in meaningful ways as it introduces new characters.”
    • “The disparate storylines water down the experience, but new elements add enough to make the journey worthwhile.”

    • “As in the first episode, the painted graphics style is misjudged and the save system is broken. While the plot is great, Telltale forgets to allow their characters to breathe or for us to get to know them better.”
