Instead, you have to soldier on and hope that the roll of the dice is kind to you this time, which it rarely is. The game doesn’t want you to play as you think the show’s characters would rule as it punishes you for being mostly virtuous like Jon or moderate like Daenerys. This would be fine if it was easy to avoid making the same mistake, but your failures in Reigns: Game of Thrones often feel pre-determined, the early stretches sometimes setting off a nuclear reaction of hatred that returns you to the character select screen. It can be utterly innocuous and baffling: a decision to treat my wound tipping the religious sects over the edge and spelling my doom at one point. Each action feels far weightier than it needs to be, doing something as simple as talking to someone sometimes sending your status bars in the wrong direction.
While this is balanced well in the main game, the same cannot be said for its Game of Thrones spin-off.
Reach too low or too high and you can more or less say goodbye to your time on the throne. You must make decisions by swiping left or right (a simple hold of a mouse click on PC, the only input you will need) and then watching on to see it how impacts your army, wealth, religion, and citizen statuses. The basic premise is that you control a wide cast of characters from the TV show, ranging from the beloved (Jon, Daenerys) to the hated (Cersei) and also Gendry. Unfortunately, when you play Reigns: Game of Thrones, you die or you die. It sounds like a perfect marriage at first, the Tinder-like simplicity of Reigns matched with the throne-hopping of the biggest show in the world. Reigns: Game of Thrones is a crossover between Devolver and Nerial’s Reigns series and the HBO adaptation of GRR Martin’s series of never-to-be-completed novels. While the former two work out in reality, the latter sadly does not, at least not in the way that allows for much in the way of wish fulfilment or anything approaching consistent fun. Game of Thrones and the monarch simulator Reigns.
A Lord of the Rings extended cut marathon and a free weekend. Some things sound like they just make sense on paper.
