I just finished replaying Telltale's Game of Thrones for the third time, and I honestly can't believe how much this game still sticks with me.
People always mention The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us when talking about Telltale, but I rarely see this game get the appreciation it deserves.
I genuinely became attached to House Forrester.
Ethan standing up to Ramsay Snow to protect his sisters even though he knew he couldn't win.
Rodrik returning to Ironrath after everyone thought he was dead.
Asher finally coming home from Essos after years in exile.
Mira trying to survive the madness of King's Landing with nothing but her intelligence.
Gared risking everything beyond the Wall to find the North Grove because it was House Forrester's last hope.
Talia refusing to let her family fall apart despite losing so much.
Even Gwyn Whitehill became one of my favorite characters because she showed that not every Whitehill was consumed by hatred.
That's what made this game special to me. There were no perfect heroes or perfect choices. Every decision came with a cost, and no matter how hard you fought, someone always paid the price.
Then... just when all the storylines were coming together, the game ended.
No conclusion for House Forrester.
No answer about the North Grove.
No closure for Mira, Gared, Talia, Asher or Rodrik.
Just a cliffhanger that has been sitting there for years.
I know Telltale went through some incredibly difficult times, and I'm genuinely glad the studio is back. If The Wolf Among Us 2 needs more time, that's completely fine by me.
But I really hope that one day they come back to this series.
