    Minecraft fans will adore it, Telltale fans will love it, those who like neither might find something to enjoy, and those who like both will literally explode with joy. [Issue#130, p.74]

    Minecraft fans should enjoy the references to the game, while Telltale fans will enjoy the traditional storytelling elements they’ve come to expect from the studio. The Order of the Stone grabs your attention at a number of points and sets you down the path of actually caring about what’s going on in a story set in the player-driven Minecraft universe.

    A solid, functional episode, but one clearly aimed at a younger audience and therefore less involving than previous Telltale adventures.

    Sparse interactivity and a lack of commitment to explaining this world and its inhabitants hold Episode 1 back, but I’m still absorbed in my story, and eager to find out what happens next.

    Overall, the first episode of this family-friendly adventure is engaging enough to keep you playing through its brief 90-minute run time. The cliffhanger is also a doozy that nicely sets up the next episode.

    Minecraft: The Story mode is a curious adventure, with touches of fun, that visually looks and feels like the original. It's perfect for kids and fans of Minecraft.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the definition of telltale. Awful game, then add some dlc. Telltale are EA, but worse. The plot is awful, the characters are generic, and the best character dies in the 4th episode.
