So after couple of days I can definitely recommend this game to everyone who likes GoT, doesn't matter if you played Reigns before.
However, if you don't watch the show, game won't be that great for you, because you won't get 90% of what happens. That's being said:
- Game has surprisingly good writing and scenario. Characters are very close or just exactly like in the show.
- In-game logic is also very close to the series - everyone talks and reacts to each other exactly like you would expect.
- Game takes place after the events of last season, so only those who alive at this time are in game.
- Everything that happens is "What if..." scenario that Melissandre sees in flames, so anything non-canon is possible, and at the same time it doesn't ruin the atmosphere.
- Because each gameplay session is same timeline with different characters (or with same character) - some events are repeating, but that doesn't feel weird (unlike in original Reigns where you were meeting same characters after multiple hundreds of years).
- Gameplay is simple and fun, but just like in previous games final puzzle is interesting and tricky.
- It doesn't feel like Reigns with GoT skin - more like true GoT game that happen to be made with Reigns engine.
- If you miss the show this year, this game is great way to stay in touch with characters, I can see why HBO wanted to made it.
In the end we got surprisingly good mobile game, and I can only wish they'll have more spin-offs like this one. Just Imagine Reigns: LotR and Reigns: Disenchantnent!
