Minecraft: Story Mode - A Telltale Games Series

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.

I haven't played this game before, though I have seen its gameplay, and from what I know, this is a cinematic masterpiece. Some people might say Minecraft doesn't have a story, and it was never intended to have one, although what makes Minecraft special is that YOU create the story. This spinoff is a great example of that; it represents how creative the Minecraft community is. I would even say that this game is, by all means, BETTER than whatever "A Minecraft Movie" was. (DISCLAIMER: I haven't seen the movie yet, so what do I know?) I'm only giving this game 9 stars because Telltale Games shut down. NetUser94 approves!

I'm a Minecraft fan. A bit older (42), so I would rate this lower. But, my kids (6 and 12) love it, hence 9/10. I won't go into details about this interactive show, but remember, the rating given is aimed at younger Minecraft fans only.

It doesn't have the best of writing and doesn't have the best of animations either... though it is a fun experience! Especially for Casual Minecraft players who want more out of the series. Most of everything in this game can be (or has been) modded/built in the vanilla game. (Which is honestly pretty cool) they really did improve once season two was being made, and that kinda revived the game. Don't expect a season 3 as Mojang isn't planning on any new seasons as far as I know. TLDR: it's not the best Minecraft game out there, and most hardcore Minecraft players probably wouldn't enjoy it much, but to the casual players... this is something to try.

'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
