Telltale’s Game of Thrones’ season finale is worth the long wait

One thing that HBO’s Game of Thrones television series has taught me is that magic is real, but it can’t make your problems disappear.

So as I started the sixth and final episode of Telltale’s Game of Thrones (which is out today on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Mac, iOS, and Android), it was with several concerns. I worried for my characters, of course. They all were standing on the precipice of annihilation, and I had little faith that I could guide them to safety. But I also worried that the game’s writers would turn to magic or a deus ex machina device to enable me to find some kind of happy ending.
