Game of Thrones - A Telltale Games Series
About
Game of Thrones is an episodic game composed of six parts with an emphasis given to a TV series by HBO. The game consists of the first season with the second one being on hold. The events depicted in the game do not correlate with those of a TV-show, but rather complement them with the in-between details.
There is a total of five playable characters, the game like the other TellTale titles is made as the point-and-click adventure with high attention paid to the choices. The gameplay is formed of QTEs, dialogues, cutscenes and the investigation parts. QTEs are forcing a player to mash the buttons repeatedly, in the dialogues section one can choose options to answer, and the investigation part involves pointing-and-clicking on the objects.
After every episode, the player is given the information about his or her choices. On the same screen, one may compare own decisions to the preferences of the other players in the world.

Game of Thrones - A Telltale Games Series reviews and comments
This is based off of the TV show, so if you haven't caught up there will be spoilers for that. There will be MASSIVE spoilers. This will be following from the taile end of season 3 all the way to the end of season 4. It conveniently makes a nice recap game for season 5, while also throwing its own twist into the story.
You play as several people connected to House Forrester, a family that served under the Starks. Each character is unique, and given the new aspect of multiple perspectives, I thought it really refreshed the formula Telltale had established with TWD and TWAU. Writing-wise, still excellent dialogue and situations, and a lot of it was very appropriate to the characters or the show itself. The writers did well in keeping the consistency of the tone of the show. It is dark, dramatic, and full of intrigue, and, in a departure from their previous games, full of gorey violence much like the show. Also, if you did not like the excessive "sexposition" of the show itself, it may be of interest to you that this game (from the time of this writing) has none.
Art-wise, Telltale changes their formula and rather go for a comic book style model for their characters and environment, they opted for an oil painting like texture. The characters still get that slight Telltale cartoon-ish vibe, however, they definitely look much more realistic now. Also, for the characters that we know from the show, they got a lot of the models to look almost perfect to the actor's faces - and to top it off their voices are in the game too. To really drive the point that this is indeed the Game of Thrones universe, they created an opening just like it. A very good touch of fanservice for fans of the series.
Some minor complaints do have to do with some glitches (I had Lady Forrester float behind the fireplace in one scene) and some of the situations just seemed ridiculous or silly and I questioned why they had the character doing that.
Overall, another solid release from Telltale. It's a bit pricier than normal because this game comes with 6 episodes, NOT 5. If that's a deal breaker, pick it up when it goes on sale.
