The world of Game of Thrones is a bleak place where life is never fair, and doing the right thing more often than not results in terrible consequences for honorable people. The first episode of Telltale’s six-part Game of Thrones game represents that cruel reality explicitly; in two hours of dialogue decisions made with the knowledge that being good and noble might mean the downfall of House Forrester and the original characters you control, it sets up great anticipation for future episodes and delivers a strong ending of its own.
First, a warning: definitely do not approach this game as a way to introduce yourself to Game of Thrones. It’s made for existing fans, in that it requires a good amount of knowledge of the story, and it begins with a massive spoiler for anyone who hasn’t seen the first three seasons or read through the third A Song of Ice and Fire book, A Storm of Swords. For that matter, you’re best off skipping this review until you’ve gotten that far in, since the entire story revolves around fallout from those events.
