James writes "The only sure thing about a Game of Thrones series is the way it builds towards an epic finale, which means this penultimate episode has the job of putting the finishing touches to a climatic build that has really escalated after experiencing episode four’s terrific offering. So let’s take a look at whether Telltale Games’ Game of Thrones’ latest episode, A Nest of Vipers, manages to deliver…"
Arriving at the penultimate episode, you wouldn’t be mistaken to expect huge thrills, a break-neck pace, and significant events to unfold as the series climbs towards its thrilling conclusion. Unfortunately for Telltale’s Game of Thrones, however, this couldn’t be any further from the truth. For all of the narrative that has escalated piece-by-piece since its debut, episode five – ‘A Nest of Vipers’, is surprisingly light in major plot developments, and leaves much to be desired when the credits begin to roll.
Scott Russell writes: "Action abounds within this Game of Thrones chapter in a fantastic panache of swords and blood, with a climactic cliff hanger that closes with distressing gasps that beg for more and more. Despite its short length, episode five culminates with strong moments of emotion, suspense and excitement, promising an even greater spectacle of consequence in its closing instalment."
