Jon Snow, King in the North? Who’s that? Mate, we’re all about Gared Tuttle here, the crow from the ironwoods who’s off to find the North Grove. This was a game that took beloved characters from the world’s most titanic series and integrated them into a whole new story as minor players with less than a handful of lines. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t excellent in its own right. Sure, it wasn’t The Walking Dead season one or The Wolf Among Us.

Telltale, on the other hand, never needed said source material in the first place - it took the lore, parsed it, understood it, and said, “Okay, now let’s write our own story.” Season six was pretty good - we got The Battle of the Bastards - but Dan and Dave were always going to drop the ball as soon as they’d fully exhausted George RR Martin’s source material. Weirdly enough, I was always more excited about the possibility of season two of Telltale’s Game of Thrones than season seven or eight of HBO’s one. I’m not going to waste time adding to the already uproarious disdain for Game of Thrones season eight - I actually reckon my ambivalence towards it was rooted in a different reason to most people - but let’s just say it was unanimously disappointing, right? That Jon and Daenerys scene… rough.
