Game of Thrones: Episode Four - Sons of Winter/point-and-click adventure/PS4 Review/Reviews/Sony PlayStation 4/telltale games

The first episode in Telltale Games’ Game of Thrones series had stood as my favourite – until now. While the first did an excellent job of setting the stage, the last couple of episodes in the series were well-written and voice acted, but progression seemed minimal. In many ways they…
