    So in this episode Telltale did what they are often criticized for: they made a choice matter. Instead of playing three mains areas as usual, you only play two, and the first one depend on the choice you made in the first episode. What is the result? An episode that is about half as long as usual, and that you don't see all content unless you play it twice.

    On a second note, the technical aspect is the worse of all product Telltale released yet. I've seen subtitles not matching the speech, the lipsync is seriously desync, and the language is now taken of the Windows locale instead of the game config.

    The story itself is okay, nothing great, nothing bad.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lackluster.
    The episode continues off where it left off, where you're trying to find the members of The Order of the Stone. If you went with Axel, you went and found Magnus the Rouge. If you went with Olivia, you met Ellegaard the Engineer. Now you venture to find Soren the Architect, and it's just.. ugh. The episode is EXTREMELY short, I beat it in less than an hour, and most Telltale game episodes need to be longer to get a better understanding as to what is going on in the game. The episode had some cool moments, like Petra/Gabriel getting infected by the Wither, a bitter rivalry between Magnus and Ellegaard, and some of the characters in Boom Town and the Redstone Kingdom are pretty cool. This episode had some pretty interesting moments, but it stumbled in terms of progress.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Oh my... How do i start this?
    Episode 2 of Minecraft story mode was quite good in introducing the Order of the Stone, but other than that... There's not too much. While in my Episode 1 review I did say that the other episodes were good and this episode is good, but it's not the best...
    Firstly, you must find one of the order members. Either Ellegaard or Magnus. It all depends on who you go with (Olivia or Axel) unfortunately, you can only go to one of these places. Either Redstonia or Boom Town. (I recommend Boom Town ^^)
    And... That's it. All in all, very short and lackluster but as i said before, it introduces the order of the stone (Which are some interesting characters) and the story is just getting juicy ^^    … Expand

    Episode 2 is a short, disappointing excursion into what's shaping up to be an arduous five-episode series. I can't decide if Episode 2 is worse than Episode 1, or if the formula is wearing on me already.

    The second chapter almost sinks the ship. It's incredibly short and it lacks memorable moments.

    A little bit funnier and even more "minecraft-like" than the first episode, but in comparison to other Telltale productions it is still the weakest link. The second episode is also extremely short.
