Game of Thrones started out as a book series and then became a popular TV show. It has now made its way into video games. Game of Thrones was made by Telltale Games, the same company behind popular point-and-click adventure games like The Walking Dead and Tales from the Borderlands. Its goal is to give players a unique and engaging experience.
Characters You Love in a Different Light
Between the fourth and fifth seasons of the TV show, Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series takes place. Faces from the show make an appearance in the game. These include Lena Hadley as Cersei Lannister, Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister, Natalie Dormer as Margaery Tyrell, and Kit Harington as Jon Snow.
Also, the game features characters from House Forrester, a family that is related to the Starks and whose story happens at the same time as the Red Wedding.
You can play as different House Forrester figures and talk to other characters from the show. Every choice you make and every line of speech you choose changes the story. In contrast to passively watching the TV show, this part of the game makes you feel like you have some duty.
Telltale Games has made a game that makes players think long and hard about what to do. Having played their other adventure games, I can say with confidence that Game of Thrones stands out in this way.
It's important to remember that you can't change how the story ends as a whole, but your actions and choices can change how the people in the game see you and how the story goes. Some players might find it annoying that the ending is the same for everyone, but I think it's important for the general experience that it stays the same.
Also, after each part, you can compare your choices with those of other players. This gives the game even more depth and makes it fun to play again and again.
Point and Click Adventure
Game of Thrones is a point-and-click action game with a retro look. The main way to move around in the game world and choose what to say in conversations is to point and click with your mouse. There are also quick-time events where you have to move around and press tools quickly.
The story is the most important part of the game, not the fights. This is where Game of Thrones really shines. There are just as many surprises in the game as in the TV show, and the character acting is excellent. But for a short time, Kit Harrington's character was dubbed with a totally different voice, which took me out of the story for a moment. Still, this was a small problem that I could ignore.
Gut-Wrenching and Stressful
If you get stressed out when you watch the Game of Thrones show, get ready for an even more intense experience when you play the game. The story is just as interesting, or even more so. As you move through the dangerous and uncertain world of Westeros, each choice you make weighs heavily on your thoughts.
Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series has six episodes that will leave you feeling scared and wondering if you made the right decisions throughout the game.
Conclusion
Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series is a unique and engaging game that both fans of the TV show and people who have never seen it before can enjoy. The game takes you through the world of Westeros in a way that is memorable and moving because of its gripping story, great voice acting, and important decision-making system.
Even though fighting isn't the main focus, the story more than makes up for it. Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series is a must-play for anyone who wants to learn more about the world of Game of Thrones and feel the thrill of making their own decisions.
