As someone who likes to roleplay his characters (rather than impose my own views and sensibilities on to them, because I’m a goody two-shoes), watching Asher go from a loveable rogue to an even more loveable rogue has been one of the great highlights for me. A particular highlight is Asher Forrester, the exiled middle child of the family, who gallivants around Essos trying to find an army to bring back home. However it’s not without its shortcomings at times - Gared Tuttle, who starts off as a loyal member of House Forrester, joins The Watch and loses much of his characterisation and drive over the course of the game – others are extremely well written and cast. The writing, too, is as snappy as can be expected from the developers behind The Walking Dead. Central characters aside, those representing actors and actresses on the HBO series (Tyrion, Cersei, Daenerys) are modelled almost to perfection and realistically recreate the mannerisms and looks of those on the TV screen. The art style, though a bit blurry and clunky in places, is still an impressive representation of the world of A Game of Thrones and A Song of Ice and Fire. As tragedy upon tragedy befalls the family, you take on the role of its prominent members, attempting to avert the house’s destruction.Įverything from the last four episodes is there in abundance in the fifth showing, and each is as good as in previous installments. Blessed with the naturally-occurring resource of Ironwood surrounding their holdfast, they nonetheless find themselves on the wrong side of the war when Robb Stark is ambushed at the Twins. In case you have not been following my series of reviews, the story in this Telltale-brand Game of Thrones follows one central family from the North – the Forresters. However, with what has been a criticism laid at the feet of Telltale for some time, that destination may be a pre-determined one, no matter how you think your choices might have affected it. I wrote in my review for Episode 3 that the pieces appeared to be moving into place, and in some cases in this fifth act you can see them reaching their final destination. In Game of Thrones Episode 5: A Nest of Vipers (to give it its full title), things finally seem to kick off for each of your playable characters. It’s been almost a year since the first episode came out, and while it may seem like the renowned storytelling developers have been putting a lot of care and attention into each episode, I’m beginning to wonder if that’s truly the case, or if the developers have lost control of their original purpose.
