Telltale's Game of Thrones might get off to a pretty slow start, but once it gets going it nails the details of Westeros - the smaller stories, the soap opera stuff. Game of Thrones - A Telltale Games Series Without spoiling anything, the stories and character arcs didn't quite have the same weight as they did in Season One, which was a breath of fresh air. While The Walking Dead: Season Two offered a welcome opportunity to see (most of) our favourite characters from Season One again, it missed more notes than it hit. The series does still have potential, but we need less Bat, more Bruce. Their attempt at the Batman universe focuses too much on the Dark Knight - a character who, while interesting in his own right, doesn't suit Telltale's storytelling. That's right, it seems Telltale's latest work is also their weakest. Here are the seven Telltale games on the App Store, listed from worst to best (not including the old ones like Jurassic Park and Sam & Max, because, like, they're well rubbish mate). The Californian developer has, well, developed a knack and reputation for making episodic, story driven 'interactive experiences'.īut which of them are hot, and which are not? The Walking Dead, or dead man walking? Minecraft: Story Mode, or Minecraft: Story NOPE? Game of Thrones or Game of NO? But watch the first 4 seasons of the TV show before you start playing, otherwise you will be lost about what's going on.Good news everyone! Batman - The Telltale Series is finally out on iOS! Our sister site Pocket Gamer has got a lovely review of the first episode up right now, but what of Telltale's other mobile efforts? Highly recommended for Game of Thrones fans. With six episodes in Game of Thrones - A Telltale Games Series, you're left with an overwhelming sense of dread, asking yourself, "Did I make the right choice?" There's a great sense of responsibility for your actions since you don't know which decisions will affect the outcome of the story. The story is just as good as the show, if not better. If you get stressed out watching the Game of Thrones show, you're going to be even more wound up playing the game. It only happened briefly so I can forgive it. However, there was one section where Kit Harrington's character was dubbed with a complete different voice, taking away from the immersive experience. There are as many twists as the show and the voice acting is great. You're playing it for the story and the story is EXCELLENT. There's also quick time sequences where you'll have to dodge and rapidly press buttons.īut you're not playing Game of Thrones for the combat. You point to click where you want to go and select dialog choices with your mouse. It's a point-and-click adventure game and there's not much variation in the play. Playing Game of Thrones is a retro affair. With so many choices, the game merits several play throughs to see how you can affect the story. Speaking of other players, you can compare your decisions with other players after each chapter. The experience has to be consistent for different players so the ending can't be different for each person's story. Some players may hate the fact that they can't change the outcome of the story but I don't have a problem with it. While you can't change the overall outcome of the story, you can affect how the in-game characters perceive you and how the story plays out. I've played Telltale's other adventure games and NONE of them made me agonize over my decisions more than Game of Thrones. While the TV show is a passive experience, Game of Thrones - A Telltale Games Series makes you feel the gravity of each decision. By making your actions and dialog choices effect the story, Telltale made a game where you feel responsible. Without spoiling anything, you'll play as different characters from House Forrester and interact with characters from the show. The Forresters were aligned with the Starks and you'll have to deal with the repercussions of the events following the Red Wedding. In addition to the TV cast, the game follows the story of House Forrester with characters not mentioned in the show. You'll see some of the characters from the show including Lena Hadley as Cersei Lannister, Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister, Natalie Dormer as Margaery Tyrell, Kit Harington as Jon Snow, and more. Game of Thrones - A Telltale Games Series takes place between the fourth and fifth seasons of the TV show.
