10. Game Of Thrones Episode 2: The Lost Lords
Telltale are a studio that hit one hell of a stride thanks to their episodic take on The Walking Dead, only for that core concept to get adapted to everything from Borderlands to Jurassic Park and none of them coming back with anywhere near the same level of polish. When they turned their heads towards G.R.R. Martin's beloved swords, boobs n' dragon-filled mythology it was either going to go really well or really bad, and so far the first episode was a raucous ride zipping from places like newcomer-homestead House Forrester to King's Landing, meeting Cersei and Tyrion along the way - not to mention a crazy plot-twist ending. For episode two things slowed down considerably for the aftermath of said twist, and although Telltale have employed a very strange oil pastel aesthetic that looks downright ugly at times, there's still plenty on offer in terms of dialogue choices, hanging out at iconic locations and essentially just cranking the cogs of the world itself ever-forward. Just don't expect anything on the level of the first episode or the Red/Purple Weddings to take your breath away.
