Minecraft Story Mode The Complete Adventure (Nintendo Switch)

Product Information

The original Minecraft game is all about crafting and building in a world, where there's no story of characters to care about. Minecraft: Story Mode was formally announced in December 2014 as a collaboration project between Mojang and Telltale; the announcement was presented as an interactive adventure game named "Info Quest II". It’s a nice payoff, as we’ve seen them grow together and slowly change from a dorky bunch of losers to this dimension hopping group of adventurers. For automatic download, your system must be updated and connected to the internet with automatic downloads enabled, and it must have enough storage to complete the download. This episode largely feels like more of the same, but Harper’s introduction adds an interesting wrinkle to the group dynamic and we see the characters get more development in this episode in a way that wasn’t present in episode 6.

Once in a while you’ll even control Jesse during a battle, the difficulty is minimal since it simply requires pushing a button as indicated onscreen.

Some might see this as a drawback and others might appreciate the change of pace; we found it to be a breath of fresh air. However, unlike Telltale's previous games that carry more mature or emotional overtones including the death of major characters, Story Mode is known as a family-friendly title, so the decisions are still pivotal and emotional but do not involve mature imagery or themes.The game also mixes new characters with original themes to make an entirely original Minecraft experience. After being framed for supposed crimes, Jesse and their friends must clear their names and stop an old enemy from destroying an innocent world. Following the closure of Telltale, Antimo, one of the game's composers, has stated that there is currently legal confusion as to where the rights to the soundtrack lies, leading to the soundtrack only being available for streaming on SoundCloud and YouTube, where they were released before the closure of Telltale. Metacritic gave the Windows version 73/100 based on 10 reviews, [49] the PlayStation 4 version 73/100 based on 7 reviews [50] and the Xbox One version 75/100 based on 9 reviews.

However, if Jesse is to survive the Old Builders' Gladiator Games and get home, he/she must forge new friendships with the other contestants and navigate a labyrinth of lies and deception. Other primary characters in the game are loosely designed around archetypes of common player-characters for Minecraft, such that those that engage in building, fighting, or griefing other players. Overall, I'm a fan of Telltale Games, (and especially Minecraft) and I've been enjoying this on the Switch.I don't know if this is a known issue, or something that is just happening to me, but I just wanted to throw that out there. Despite a somewhat passive gameplay and some fluidity breaks, this is a pleasant and alluring experience that will appeal to players beyond the Minecraft fan base, with extra points going for the game's excellent voice work. On behalf of the publisher, Minecraft: Story Mode - A Telltale Games Series, Season 1 and 2 will no longer be supported on June 25 th, 2019. Forced on the run to avoid capture and assimilation, Jesse must work with a new ally to defeat the corrupted computer and free the population it has enslaved.
