    Episode 4. Dang EPISODE 4!
    Now, this episode was stunning. While your decisions in this chapter didn't seem to impact much, this chapter bought your past decisions into play (Some minor and some that really rocks your friendships) and your past experiences. The intro starts off right where you ended last episode and get ready for a lot of QTE's.
    The middle portion is... Slow,    Episode 4. Dang EPISODE 4!

    The middle portion is... Slow, unfortunately. Interesting... A little. You do get to see something spectacular but for now you'll be asking "Are we there yet?" Or "Is it over?"
    The ending... The god dang ENDING! Is fantastic! You *Insert spoilers*. Well, this ending is amazing anyways. Yes, you might die a few times (I did...) but it's a fun experience and one that might toy with your emotions...

    All in all, this episode is easily the best of all of them so far. I love this episode and i can't wait to see what Tell Tale brings us in episode 5 "Order Up!"    … Expand

    It's an interesting fourth chapter: although the gameplay is once again too simple, the narrative side is indeed more mature and filled with plot twists. Makes one hope the the finale can still raise the overall bar.

    Although the game itself can’t be saved, it is necessary to admit, that the penultimate episode of the series is the most successful yet.

    Despite the grievances I have with the action and impact on the story, this is an enjoyable and evenly paced episode that effectively wraps up the Wither Storm arc for Minecraft: Story Mode, and delivers an ending that tugs on players’ heartstrings.
