I studied literature of high degree for many years in college. Shakespeare, Chaucer, Austen, I have read them all. I even checked out the highly regarded works of his royal highness, Mr President Obama himself. But never have I come across a story with such class, such comedy, such tragedy as the masterpiece that is Minecraft Story Mode. I feel compelled to preach to all about the nature of this great work of fiction. In the future, they will be studying this underrated, unnappreciated in it's own time, glorious masterwork that shocks at every turn, amazes at every corner and impresses at every wind. If I were to rewrite the book "1001 games you must play before you die", I would replace every entry with this singular, heart-wrenching piece of fiction.

p.s. install realistic boobies mod, you will thank me ;)

I want to play more of it on here, not on console. Put the full game series on here. Please!
It told a good story, the later episodes host YouTubers, more specifically Minecraft YouTubers like CaptainSparklez and ICanHasCupQuake. You don't know how much revenue you're missing out on Steam. Bring it back.

Telltale games are incredible and I love them all, including this one, but for the reason I can't finish the game, because the don't sell 6-8 episodes anymore because of the company closer is really annoying,

Realized I haven't written a review for this after 4 years lol. (Played both seasons when season 2 was released) Remembering back when I played this, it was amazing. Though it's a shame that it isn't available in the market anymore and those who haven't bought it won't be able to play it. It's certainly a game that all minecraft players should play at least once.

The game was amazing, loved how it developed each option you picked.

The only downside is, some controls are wonky, and it's disapointing to make it through a 24.99$ game, only to have to pay 14.99$ to get the rest.

Otherwise, it's recommended.

A Story about a Story

We have Jesse (who is playable as a male or female) main protagonist who is a wimp and does not carry themselves highly compared to our other characters. Throughout the campaign, you will see the character grow from cowardly, frail, and even unadventurous to a hero that craves adventures is strong and can overcome any odds. Depending on the choices you make for them can make them an arrogant butthole or an appreciative friend who is well-liked.

I enjoyed the first four episodes where every chapter was intense, intriguing, and ominous about who the villains were. How the characters overcame their fears and discouragement while showing hope to one another. I found each character to be interesting and could relate to some form on why they had their moments of doubts or eagerness for every scenario at hand.

Honestly, the game could have ended at episode four, and would not be upset at all about it. It would make sense to end it at four. The story was well written for a game that is entirely based on a sandbox universe. Episode five is opening up the door to downloadable content (DLC). This is where I did not have the same perspective of the game compared to the first four chapters. The characters' demeanor changed. They were a bit cocky and self-absorbed – which is not a bad thing – but character growth and team growth had changed course. You could start to see jealousy with a side of resentment coursing through. That is not a negative for me since that is how people are in general, it was the new content that came with it that I did not have the same gratification as said former chapters. There is also a major gap between episode 4 and episode 5 which left some questions unanswered.

I will not spoil the story as I found it to be an enjoyable ride with Jesse and the gang going with their shortcomings and triumphs.

A Game about a Game

The gameplay consists of quick-time events (QTEs) in which you will press Q or E or motion a move command to dodge, attack, or make an action happen within about three to five seconds before you either fail or achieve the action that was required. There will be moments where you can move around freely in a very confined area to find clues. Talk to individuals, or just hear some relative background information regarding the story and/or scenario you are in.

Building and/or crafting is very limited throughout the experience. Constructing any forms of buildings or fortifications are done by other characters or by Jesse with fast-forward approach with you spamming the Q button. When it comes to crafting items this becomes restricted. You will acquire items throughout your adventures and at certain events will you be able to assemble said items. Amazingly, nothing changed from the sandbox version to the story mode. Making a lever still requires one stone block and one wooden stick as if done the same way in Minecraft. The fact it meshes so well into the story and gameplay that this feels genuine. I am happy to see it done respectably.

I found the movement at times to be wonky as if it was not fleshed out completely for a keyboard versus a controller. An example would be if I was trying to move diagonally towards the Northeast, Jesse would then move in the direction of East or North. The UI was not bad since the only time it showed any of the items you carried would only be during the exploration or combat with your health bar during the combat scenario.

A lot of the gameplay is realistically you sitting back and watching a playable movie. There will be interactions where you will decide what is the best choice depending on how you want to play the protagonist. There is no right or wrong option, but you do get to see the results of what others have shown at the end of each episode. The selections you pick do not give an alternative ending, but it does change the course of actions that others treat you throughout the campaign. I would have liked to have alternative outcomes when different decisions you pick throughout the story effects the ending.

What’s in Your Crafting Table?

GPU: EVGA FTW3 GeForce RTX 3070 Ti
CPU: Intel Core i9-10900K
OS: Windows 10
Ram: 64GB
Storage: Evo 870 4TB (SSD)

During the gameplay, I did NOT experience any crashes, stutter, lag, and blue screen of death, or any graphical hiccups. I did, however, experience once in a blue moon that the audio would cut-off between characters at times if an option was chosen too early or static noise. Otherwise, the game is solid, loads quickly, and runs smoothly.

Build Awhile and Listen

I enjoyed this title from Telltale Games. I have read and heard many complaints of the title, but that is maybe because I am not a big, ultra, over 9000 Minecraft fan to see the negative side of it while comparing it to the actual Minecraft product. Between some of the wonky controls and slight audio hiccups, I found it transpire in an engaging, entertaining, and well-written for a more or less interactive movie.ve movie.

Eloquent storytelling surrounded by a high quality cast of characters who take you on a magical journey through the mystical land of Minecraft (Created by Notch but he was a nazi so they don't talk about him anymore) The story of this game seems like steven king ghost-wrote it combined with the screenplay Genius of KEVIN FEIGE the creator of all marvel movies. The action scenes in this game make michael bay movies look like child's pplay (literally) through their high octane explosions and blasts of excitement. Whoever was in charge of casting the voice actors for this game deserves a raise becausew they somehow found the exact person they shou.d

This is a wonderful game, but not having the DLC for the last 3 episodes available, when I already own the base game, is garbage. Wish I'd never played it, I'll never know how it ends. Thanks a LOT Telltale. I wasted a TON of money on your games, only to not have them supported and not be able to finish them. Won't waste another DIME on anything you make in the future, no matter how much your company has "changed". Give us our content or just stop producing it.

This game is a masterpiece, I remember playing it when I was little, while deciding my own destiny! This game changed my life, when I saw Axel, Jesse, Petra, Olivia, Lukas and of course, the main man, Reubin. Reubin was my best friend, I loved him so much, and when he died, a small part of me did as well.

Be warned when playing this game, it will leave you scarred, but in the end It will be worth it.

This Minecraft spinoff is interesting but completely boring (for me). But At the end of the day we still just preferred playing the original Minecraft.

Minecraft Story telltale: 3/10 the only redeeming quality is the cutscenes. But again not really into this series.

It don't took me long to see, that its another standard Telltale game,
which barely has something to do with Minecraft.

- again in the Episode format and will have to pay for the last episodes too.
- again decisions have to be made within too short time
(especially for a non native speaker)
- again decisions don't really matter, even though it says:
"... wont forget that!"
- has nothing to do with Minecraft...
+ ...although with Minecraft look.

Won't play this, as long as Game of Thrones to see it is open ended too and unistall it at once.

This game is pretty boring compared to the other telltale games imo. If you really love minecraft I guess you will find this entertaining, but unlike telltale borderlands where I enjoyed the game alot without having played any of the borderlands games this falls flat without any interest in the original game.

Honestly no idea where the sudden hatred for this game came from. It's absolutely amazing. Yes, it's a Telltale Game, and for that it suffers in some ways, but it's not a bad game by any means.

Never played a Telltale game before this one, and it was good. The story was fun and engaging. However, I never got to finish it, and never will, because they locked the last 3 chapters behind a paywall. :/

Gonna be honest, Minecraft Story Mode is heavily underrated. While yes this game does have it's flaws like the writing being kinda meh at some points. I had a lot of fun with this game and recommend you give it a chance if they haven't played it.

This is a pretty casual and enjoyable choice game, It's unfortunate that Telltale no longer has the Minecraft license. While you can't purchase the game here anymore, you can still purchase a redeemable code for it from online sellers like Amazon. If your interested in this game then try to secure a code as soon as possible since there are a finite number of codes. The problem with this is that the codes are overpriced and aren't really worth it in my opinion. If you have some money to burn then go for it, but there isn't enough gameplay to warrant the price. If the game was it's original price then it would be worth it.
