Review code for Minecraft: Story Mode – Episode 1 provided by publisher. Reviewed on PlayStation 4. For more information on scoring, please read our Review Policy here .

Minecraft, by its very design, lacks a definitive storyline. Sure, later iterations of the game gave players the vague quest line of defeating the Ender Dragon after countless hours of scrounging for increasingly rare materials, but in general the game lacks any semblance of an overarching...

Telltale Games has built a business on filling a much-needed niche in video games: strong narrative experiences. Although the company has a long development history, it was really 2012's The Walking Dead that established Telltale as the industry standard in episodic storytelling in gaming.

Excellent production values; Beautiful visuals; Amazing voice acting

Thin; predictable plot; Choices don't have much impact

So far I've reviewed a racing game and a top down shooter and given them both four stars out of five. Well, if that doesn't suggest what a range of games we have to play in the house then this review should.

Good story; funny game; interesting to play; decisions have consquences

Point and Click; dialogue based; reading capacity would suggest ten and over as an age range

good

Some kind of error is making it impossible to download the new episodes and telltale support isnt much help so far.

Apparently, Telltale's Minecraft: Story Mode is so lucrative, the developer needed to find a way to keep the train rolling. What was supposed to be a five-episode interactive story, set in Mojang's hit sandbox game, has now been extended.

Better controls; decent voice acting; montage

Simple; dialogue timer; choices don't matter

Jesse and his/her friends have come a long way in four episodes of Minecraft Story Mode . From starting in a tree house worrying about a building contest, to saving the world from three giant wither storm monsters.

New story each episode is an improvement over the previous arc + Episode 5 is well written; fast paced with good action beats + Episode 7 had an interesting story and well executed

Episode 6 feels like a "love note" to fans and YouTubers; Tone and pace can feel up and down

So I love MInecraft and so I bought MInecraft Storymode and it's great. Although it has words like dang and freak it's an awesome game. If you are strick about words like that and you may even consider them cuss words. Its still a great game.
