GAME OF THRONES A TELLTALE GAMES SERIES CHOICE WALKTHROUGH TV

I had edited several Monday morning recaps and takes for Polygon in 20, and with those seasons effectively revealed, Game of Thrones, as a show, became I’ll-get-around-to-it TV for me. Until last summer, I’d spent years avoiding the TV franchise despite the raves of friends and colleagues. Despite playing more than three seasons of Telltale’s The Walking Dead, I was never drawn to AMC’s TV show for a single episode. But everything it revealed about the TV show left me wanting to know more, not less. Telltale’s Game of Thrones should have spoiled large tranches of seasons one through five - it begins outside The Red Wedding, for God’s sake. I bought a subscription to HBO Now the day after I finished it and began powering through the seasons.

It ended up being a pitch-perfect indoctrination into Game of Thrones’ overall mood, seething with tension and delayed gratification. The game ends on an anguishing cliff-hanger, though, and House Forrester nowhere near made whole. But Gryff Whitehill suffered dearly in his stead, I assure you. Though I didn’t know him fully, I knew Ramsay was a major character, and I recoiled from him, knowing I could not make him pay for killing Ethan Forrester. I became as bloodthirsty in my desire for vengeance for them as any hard-bitten fan ever was for Arya and her house. I was drawn to the Forresters, the minor clan and Stark allies written exclusively for this game.

The game was a lark offering on PlayStation Plus in July 2017 and it, not the seventh season’s premiere that month, enthralled me. It - not a show, not a book - was my first exposure to Westeros. For me, it was dispiriting to realize that after a few years of chatter, the second season of Telltale’s excellent adaptation of GoT would end up being another log in video gaming’s what-if fireplace.Ĭritically, Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series’ scores hovered around the kiss-of-death mid-70s. It’s a poetically shocking demise for a series where the death of a treasured character was always on the table. The Walking Dead : The Final Season, which premiered in August, is said to be canceled, three days before its second episode was due to launch. When news passed late yesterday that Telltale Games had effectively shut down, dismissing all but a handful of artists, many thought first of The Walking Dead, and its fate. This perspective contains spoilers for Game of Thrones, both the TV series and the Telltale video game.
