CJ from DJ Pdocasts writes "Sons of Winter is the fourth installment in the Game of Thrones interactive story title. But do not think this will be a quick or easy game to play. You will have to act smart and make decisions that will greatly affect your characters. Will you play it safe, will you take your chances? The choice is yours but be prepared to suffer the consequences."
Research shows that games can make you feel bad about committing violence in game, either discouraging them from immoral actions or making them feel guilty for committing them. However, if that's true, why is there so much griefing online?
Starting on a rather underwhelming conclusion to arguably the most exciting development of the previous episode, you jump into ‘Sons Of Winter’ finding out that Gared has been charged with the murder of Britt – his fellow brother of the wall. For the last episode to include a confrontation scene so memorable and full of tension, it’s a shame to see the whole situation transpire into events that are far less exciting.
VGChartz's Joseph Trotter: "Narratively, Sons of Winter is a definite improvement over the earlier episodes, and has a much easier, confident pace. Game of Thrones is still the weakest of the Telltale series released thus far, but that is testament to the endearing quality of the others. It is not a bad game, nor a bad series; it does, however, quickly need to find some character of its own before the axe falls."
