    The first season of Minecraft: Story Mode is a good opener of what is to come. 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.

    In short, Minecraft: Story Mode – The Complete Adventure is a worthwhile ride, though it is a bit inconsistent in terms of the quality of the episodes. If you’re a fan of Minecraft, or just want to try out something that feels halfway between a game and a Netflix show, this is a great game to jump on. Though you likely won’t be replaying it very much, there’s hours of content on offer here the first time through and it certainly justifies the price of admission.

    To enjoy this game you’ll need to understand going in that the story is based on Minecraft, but you will not experience any of its free building or open sandbox trademarks. If we simply judge the game on its entertainment value then I can say I had a great time. The story is great, the acting is top notch and Telltale did a great job of capturing the spirit of Minecraft. If you're a fan of the Minecraft universe and enjoy kids movies with humour to satisfy adults then you will enjoy this—what I will continue to call an interactive movie.

    Minecraft: Story Mode – The Complete Adventure is the first adventure game from Telltale to come to the Switch. It is the ultimate package of the narrative-driven take on the famous block-building franchise. With an enjoyable D&D-like story, it is an enjoyable experience, in which your choices seems to matter - at least as long as you allow yourself to play along with the magician trick.

    If it was not for the amusing script, well realised Minecraft setting, likeable characters, and moderately engaging storyline(s), then this would have been an unmitigated disaster as Telltale continues to take the point-and-click genre in a direction that no point-and-click fan wants, removing all the enjoyable elements from the classics and awkwardly wedging in action elements instead. Minecraft: Story Mode - The Complete Adventure, thankfully, has enough engaging story content to keep gamers satisfied, some fantastic production values on the voice acting front, and heaps of content packed in thanks to all eight episodes being included. Hopes are high for Season Two to improve upon the shortcomings here.

The fact that they took Minecraft a game has no story the way the creator intended too and give it one is simply stupid. Telltale has this idea that if they keep making games like these they will continue to be successful. Its cool they brought in Patton Oswalt to voice the protagonist. We as the players we want to experience new and unique things. But for Telltale to continue releasing these type of games with a different license is just the biggest slap in the face to us the Audience… Full Review »

Sin lugar a dudas están hechas para niños pero no estoy seguro si el género es muy atractivo para ellos.
    La historia es atractiva al principio, pero en un punto no llega a ser memorable. Los personajes no se vuelven icónicos, ni tienen una evolución interesante, pero al menos es una buena introducción al universo de Minecraft para quien desconoce la saga.
    A mi gusto la mejor forma de jugar los juegos de Telltale Games es en modo portátil de la Switch, hasta se puede decir que es la mejor forma de jugarlos.    … Full Review »
