On September 21, 2018, while that season was being produced, Telltale laid off the majority of its staff. By the time the fourth and final season of Telltale's The Walking Dead was released, much less people were playing. Due to drastic changes made to the original story, each subsequent season of the zombie series sold fewer copies and received lower scores from critics. ![]() As if that wasn't bad enough on its own, Telltale's flagship series was also starting to underperform. oh wait! Stay away from this one, unless you are a really diehard fan of the Game of thrones series.Even though the aforementioned titles performed well, none of them achieved even a fraction of the fame commanded by The Walking Dead. Guess they didn't have the budget for this one. Previous telltale titles look much better for some reason. Cons: -Bland color palette -Boring story -Bugged controls -Blocky graphics. Pros: +Real, well animated characters from the television series. My main issue with this is that the dialogue options are all the same! You often get three dialogue options to pick from, but they all point towards the same end, and so in the end it doesn't matter what you choose. It is the same intrigues from the show all over, which shouldn't be a problem since it is a Telltale game where your dialogue options are supposed to alter the story. You don't need to make a good game to entice already devoted fans, just include some memorable characters from the show and you're good! Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series, does not offer any additional value to the show. It is clearly just a way to cash in on the large fanbase of the Game of thrones series. It is clearly just a way to cash in on the This game is not fun to play, and it's main selling point, the story, is not that interesting. This game is not fun to play, and it's main selling point, the story, is not that interesting. With this installment of games Telltale has hit a wall, LARGER THAN 'THE WALL' ITSELF. To clarify - this reviewer is a fan of the Walking Dead Telltale series and a huge fan of Game of Thrones. Had to REINSTALL the game once for a COMMON PROBLEM where the START MENU DOES NOT APPEAR. Running a HIGH END SYSTEM and NEVER have problems with games, but the bugs are there and support is hard to come by on the developer's website. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME AND THIS HAPPENS LOTS The game is relentlessly PUNISHING the player for making devious and intruiging dialogue choices, and yet this is what GoT SHOULD BE REWARDING. After said conversation, Margerie HAS A GO AT YOU for siding with Cersei and says how disloyal you are to her. During said conversation, you side with Cercei and agree with everything she says, JUST LIKE MARGERIE ASKED you to. Some dialogue is INSANELY BAD, for example (NO SPOILERS DON'T WORRY): *in conversation with Margerie* - Margerie asks your character to do as Cercei says and to agree with everything Cersei says, in order for you and Margerie to feign loyalty to the King. Sometimes the dialogue options essentially mean the SAME THING, and yield the EXACT SAME RESPONSE from a character. Some characters react to your choices in NON-SENSICAL manner - especially if the dialogue or plot continues on the SAME PATH REGARDLESS of any choices you make. ![]() Some elements of the game - even the startup menu - are 'JUDDERY' when they load - for example the music CUTTING out and changing volume on load. ![]() ![]() Music feels AWKWARD, it is not the licenced GoT music, and is NOT GREAT. It is not as eloquent or complex as the tv series. Script has been DUMBED DOWN for a younger audience (despite still being 18+). Compared to choices in games like Witcher, this one doesn't come close. Cons: - Your dialogue choices DO NOT MATTER a great deal. Conversations with main characters is pretty cool. Conversations with main characters Pros: - The game offers some brutal deaths. Pros: - The game offers some brutal deaths.
