Telltale games game of thrones review series#

I talked to a friend of mine who finished out the series shortly before I did, and we confirmed that characters in the series are completely interchangeable she had characters who were still alive whom I had lost in previous episodes, and vice versa. ItВ isnвЂ™tВ fair, and Telltale has no problem reminding you that life in WesterosВ is anything but. My punishment: watching some of the characters IвЂ™d worked so hard to get were they were die. Things continually go south for the unfortunate Forrester family, and that all comes to a head in Episode Six.Д¬ontinuing to operate with itвЂ™s iconic choice-based narrative, Telltale Games kicked me right in the feels numerous times, delivering emotional slaps on the wrist for making some rash decisions in previous episodes. ItвЂ™s just a good old fashioned blood bath.ДЄnd House Forrester is right in the center of it.ДЄfter losing their father-figure right at the start of Episode One, the Forresters have struggled with ruling over their people, and keeping their fortress, Ironrath, safe from their enemies. IвЂ™d even feel safe saying that more characters died in episode six than the firstВ five episodes combined. Telltale doesnвЂ™t disappoint, and while I didnвЂ™t keep track, IвЂ™d feel safe betting on the fact that the finale had more leading characters die than any other episode in the season. Finale episodes are always given the task of kicking the body-count up a bit more than usual to keep people talking until the next season begins. Throughout the six episode season, weвЂ™ve seen plenty of heroic characters (and even more not-so-heroic ones) meet untimely ends. TelltaleвЂ™s handling of the franchise is no different. ThatвЂ™s Game of Thrones in a nutshell, folks.
