Minecraft: Story Mode - A Telltale Games Series

'Minecraft: Story Mode - A Telltale Games Series (2015)' isn't Telltale's most mature, affecting or, even, fun game. It is, however, an enjoyably silly adventure that remains entertaining enough throughout. Even its extended episodes, which sort of feel detached from the main game even though they begin before the initially shipped story ends, are entertaining. They're essentially one-shot romps with a breezy pace and a care-free attitude. They also cross over a fair few genres, which keeps them feeling fresh. The game is a typical, modern-day 'choose your own adventure'. Its gameplay primarily consists of dialogue options and quick-time events, though it does contain some more classic - if rudimentary - puzzles, too. The choices don't change a huge amount but they still feel impactful. Telltale continue to display some great writing, keeping you onboard with the absurd story they want to tell and, even, giving you an inevitable lump in your throat. Look, this isn't exactly the pinnacle of gaming. Yet, there's enough here to keep you engaged and it's an enjoyable experience on the whole. 7/10

This is a disappointment . I love Minecraft and i was excited for this edition. Then I played it. I'm gonna say, it does have a cute story, but in reality, it's a TV show filled with quick-time events! Thats It! it is a quick time event TV show. It even has Episodes! Its not even close to as good a the real minecraft. I will also say the voice actor almost save the game, as they are great voice actors, and like i already said, the story is good. But, its not a video game! And I'm not hating on this because its for kids, my issue is that there are phenomenal kids games out there. Super Mario 64 is a good game, Lego Starwars is a good game, Splatoon is a good game, and Minecraft is a good game. This is not a good game. I expect more Mojang.

Minecraft: Story Mode was a game I thoroughly enjoyed at the age of twelve, and even now as an adult I reminisce fondly on the memories. Telltale is basically a company that creates interactive movies sold as video games, and this format isn't for everyone. It's also not for everyone to enjoy pixelated characters and landscapes, lower than average writing, corny dialogue/humor, and light cursing (just "hell" and "damn"). However, this game had my childhood self captivated by its memorable characters, world-building, and storyline. It also has deeper messages under its cheesy exterior, teaching lessons on friendship, teamwork, determination, forgiveness, and facing your demons. Kids will like it a lot. Adults? You have to be a special individual to enjoy it. In the short, if you're a lover of Minecraft, going through a nerdy tween phase, and you don't mind Jesse yelling "damn chickens!", give it a try.

I played this with my brother when the episodes started releasing 5 years ago. I really enjoyed this. I still play this today whenever normal Minecraft is boring. Minecraft story mode was a story that had great stories, great music, humorous moments, and it had a few really good twists. I really liked the characters(Ivor was my favorite) the characters added to the plot by adding smaller plots that would eventually affect the greater plot. The game had a TON of interesting ideas. I still remember the games story and it was a rollercoaster ride playing it. Wondering if you're making the right choices was exciting to me and my brother.

And my boys love this show and love how they can pick which way the story goes! They are 5 and 11. It's sad that adults are not happy and wish it was better...the child show based on a child's game!!
