Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series - The Ice Dragon
Overview -
'The Ice Dragon' is the sixth and final episode in the first season of Telltale’s 'Game of Thrones' adventure game, which began just about a year ago. The previous episodes are 'Iron from Ice', 'The Lost Lords', 'A Sword in the Darkness', 'Sons of Winter', and 'A Nest of Vipers'. A second season has been announced.
Video Review
The North Grove looks nice in an adventure game way, better even than the forested panoramas of Ironrath. The rest of the visuals are par for the course. The constant stuttering and framerate issues have been replaced by long, frequent load times, which is a far better arrangement.
Audio Review
There are almost no new voice actors in this episode, but the cast that we already have is still doing admirable work. As mentioned, the TV actors are relegated to the shadows, except for the epilogue.
Final Thoughts
Telltale’s 'Game of Thrones' does far more than just trade on the good name of the accompanying TV show. In fact, it has nearly surpassed it in storytelling on several occasions over the last year. Even its low points have been entertaining, and I have relished the chance to have my own little story within Martin’s sweeping fantasy epic. Like most of Telltale’s recent work, the season is worth every penny.
