Game of Thrones: Episode Three - The Sword in the Darkness Reviews
[This episode] was my least favourite in the series so far. I assume it will become a very important part of the narrative, but its highlights are few enough and far enough in between with the promise of more to come that it comes away somewhat less than its predecessors.
The Sword in the Darkness truly lives up to the first episode after the exposition-filled second and goes to show fans of the Song of Ice and Fire universe that this story is truly worth a place alongside the canon of the series. Now exactly halfway through the season, there's a ton of promise and a lot of foreboding for the remainder of the series. So far the Foresters are getting knocked down and kicked harder and harder and harder… which, much like the Starks, will make it all that much sweeter when they finally have their revenge.
در نهایت می توان The Sword in the Darkness را احیا کننده بازی Game Of Thrones بدانیم ، The Sword in the Darkness مسیر درست را به مخاطب نشان داده است و تعاملی که باید بین مخاطب و بازی برقرار باشد در The Sword in the Darkness ایجاد شده است . دیگر نمیتوان پیش از عرضه قسمت چهارم بازی گفت که شور و شوقی برای تجربه آن نداریم ! اکنون سرنوشت خانواده "فارستر" به یک دغدغه بزرگ تبدیل شده است و بزرگترین دلیل آن شخصیت پردازی بسیار خوب "رودریک فارستر" و استقامت پاک او از خانواده اش در برابر تمامی مشکلات است .

As we reach the halfway mark in this season it's hard to imagine the main characters surviving for a second one. With the story ramping up and the plot chugging along, all the pieces are moving into place. As ever, a fantastic homage to the franchise and an event better game in its own right.
Game of Thrones Episode 3 is a pretty solid entry in the series made by Telltale Games. It takes the overall story to some interesting new areas, but some aspects, such as the Rodrik sequences, tend to feel repetitive and uninspired. The next few episodes are shaping up to bring some even bigger events, so expect to see even more interesting developments in the future.
Game of Thrones: Episode 3 -The Sword in the Darkness puts the series in a good spot. Asher has a decent amount of action, and his straightforward story is a nice contrast to everyone else's tales. Mira's situation is as tense as ever, and it doesn't look like the game will let up anytime soon. Gared's tale has gotten traction and gone from boring to exciting in one fell swoop. Rodrik's part in the episode still feels like it's spinning its wheels, but if you played things out a certain way, the events at the end signal the beginning of a spark . As long as the pacing of episode releases is right, there's enough here to keep players invested while the TV show rolls on.
Sword in the Darkness is a step in the right direction for the series. Sharp, unhurried yet eventful, the disastrous consequences of small decisions means that every conversation is conducted with the utmost care.
Following the somewhat tension free episode two and the fact that all my choices were ignored from the first episode, I went into The Sword in the Darkness short of optimism. Thankfully my faith has been restored as episode three is showing clear signs that Telltale Games have reclaimed their mojo and their coming for the Iron Throne.
