Game of Thrones: Episode Two - The Lost Lords
The Lost Lords offers no respite from the anguish of Iron from Ice, and keeps the energy and intrigue up in surprising ways. It's evident every choice you make affects members of your far-flung family, and while it's strenuous to keep track of who is doing what so you don't screw over one of your relatives, it's the fact that your entire family's honor is hanging in the balance that really keeps you on your toes.

It’d be easy to overlook the The Lost Lords‘ myriad of issues — the awful presentation, the lack of true divergence, the general lack of polish — if it weren’t for its biggest problem: it’s boring. Even for diehard fans of the show or books, there’s little to glean from these first two episodes so far.

A disappointing second episode, which seems to amplify both the strengths and weaknesses of the opener. Game of Thrones still wins points for authentic atmosphere, strong characters and tangible player choice, but gameplay seems to be falling by the...

It's an enjoyable evening of gaming with a few hard decisions, but it demonstrates the hands tightening around the neck of House Forrester. If this were any other game the story would be leading towards a reckoning for the enemies of House Forrester, but this is Game of Thrones. And as Jon Snow points out there's no reason to believe they'll survive the season.

Gared’s sequences muddle an otherwise excellent second chapter, which places the Forrester’s on even shakier ground than their introduction. Every ray of hope that shines upon them brings a hidden storm cloud that could burst at any given point. The final moments of this episode are beautifully captured, and show us that Telltale is just as skilled at putting heart into sequences as it is stabbing one to death.

Author George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire opens with a densely packed prologue. He gives you a taste of the world and its simmering dangers, a glimpse of attitudes in Westeros, and just enough information to get you wondering. It's a slow...

Welcome back to the land of Westeros, where lords and houses feud over power, money, land, and prestige, gleefully turning a blind eye to the horde of ice zombies ready to attack in the north. Seriously guys… zombies. I bet the cast of Telltale's The...

That, too, leads to problems, as some of the story feels rehashed as a result, and at one point I found myself in a situation roughly parallel to one I'd already seen back in December. But if there's any proof that Telltale has captured some of the same magic Martin and HBO have caught, it's that I wouldn't hesitate to experience it all over again.

The Lost Lords, the second episode of Telltale's Game of Thrones, plays out slowly and not many major events unfold. It rather focuses on the Forrester family and their relationships, both within the family and with the outside world. It is still worth...

Telltale fait fort avec ce deuxième épisode très fluide et intriguant côté scénario. Malheureusement ce dynamisme empêche aussi le développement de certains personnages importants. Qu'importe, les choix, même s'ils n'ont que peu d'importance sur...
