Episode 6 of the Minecraft Story Mode series holds up surprisingly well compared to the other released episodes. A refreshing episode which leaves us hoping the next two episodes will be equally as entertaining.
It does feel a bit tacked on to the series but I tried to see it as a singular experience and I’m now excited to see what happens in the upcoming episodes.
Minecraft enthusiasts of a certain age-range will be excited by the prospect of seeing their YouTube heroes appearing in A Portal to Mystery, and for the most part, this is a fun murder mystery romp. However, the need to shoehorn in these extra characters takes away from the established cast, and the results of this venture are incredibly haphazard.
While this is a relatively weak episode in the Minecraft: Story Mode world, it isn’t the worst episode and with the addition of the new characters, it will be enjoyable for fans and players alike.
