    El estilo de Telltale Games le sienta bien a Minecraft, pero las historias de esta entrega no son tan dramáticas e intrigantes como el de otras franquicias. 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.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So,Minecraft...What can i say? Everyone knows this succesful piece of dirt block! But anyways,we're not here to talk about Minecraft. On another note,we're here to talk about Minecraft Story Mode,another way for Telltale to push their boundaries forward. I'm going to recap everything,so spoilers ahehad. We are off to a rocky start with Episode 1 - The Order Of The Stone,where we have a giant introduction to all the charachters in the game,played by a handsome bunch of people,like Patton Oswalt (Agents Of SHIELD),Ashley Johnson (The Last Of Us) etc,if not also the start to this perilous adventure. The start is pretty good,we have no boring moments,the action is well-crafted and the dialogue is done pretty well. Then it's on Episode 2 - Assembly Required where things go off-hills. After choosing,you'll go with Axel at BoomTown,or with Olivia on Redstonia,to reassemble the Order Of The Stone. What makes it kinda boring is the fact that it's easy all-around. No hard puzzles,no exciting action sequences...Nothing. Oh,it's also short in terms of runtime:32 minutes if i remember correctly. In Episode 3 -The Last Place You Look,things get interesting. After having not-stopped Ivor,it's a journey to The End to find Soren,the last member of The Order. And from here,you can clearly see that they're taking the source material that makes Minecraft awesome. Then,the original adventure comes to an end with Episode 4 - A Block And A Hard Place. The Witherstorm,after a fake death,gets duplicated in 3 monstrosities,is still in search of the amulet,so the gang doesn't know what to do. But after they find Ivor,with a solution on his hands,it's yet again,another journey for our friends to find this Enchantement Book. From Episode 3 on out,you'll basicaly have journies all around,but Episode 4 doesn't fail to be a tricky episode,with tons of puzzles and an emotional ending. Episode 5 - Order Up is the start of a series of new adventures for Jesse,Petra,Lukas and Ivor. Basically Episode 5 is The LEGO Movie,where there's the message that you can't build anything on Sky City until the end,where everyone's on the ground (safe and sound) and everyone can do anything they want to. It's up to Jesse to decide if the people of Sky City are free to build everything they want or not. Then,we're off to Episode 6 - A Portal To Mystery (AKA the giant paycheck for Youtubers like DanTDM,StampyCat,CaptainSparklez etc.) . The story is a giant 'What if Haunted Mansion was a Mystery movie?',since the group enters in this mysterious dimension where we have a 'Haunted Mansion'-like house with a guy called The White Pumpkin,who's haunting this mansion. Nothing new,bad,or even interesting at all. We are close to the end with Episode 7 - Access Denied,where our group of heroes is still searching the way home,and they enter in this 'Terminator 2'-like dimension,where we have a computer (called PAMA) dominating all-over the village. Just like Episode 6,you know the drill. Episode 8 - A Journey's End is a satisfying,if not also rewarding ending to this game,with our group having to deal with a giant 'server' (sort of) to get back home. Not only does it take games like Spleef so well,but it also makes you truly feel the anger for the enemies,if not also having a well-done story. In a whole,it's a true enjoyment for Minecraft fans,if not also gamers everywhere. The controls in the game are impressive. Sure,it is an interactive movie,but watching this 'transition' of buttons and touch screen makes the game a lot easier to play. There's nothing to say about the graphics,since it's Minecraft,and everything has to look blocky (except the books...). In the end,Minecraft Story Mode The Complete Adventure is able to please every Nintendo Switch gamer,with innovative comands,a story that's here and there,and the blocky fun that Minecraft always has… Expand

    Sure some people hate on this game but to me its one of the best story driven games ever, It has a lot to love here 1. a well written story with quirky writing, a unique art style, and super likable characters. If you have a switch and you want to play one visual novel, Make it this one!

    I was expecting a lot more than I was given from this game, and I couldn't even get myself to start the 6th chapter. I had simply lost hope in the game, and I felt like I was watching a TV show made for 9 year-olds. I'm really not trying to hurt anyone's feelings, but this game truly sucks.

    A nice story and interesting characters. I played through both season 1 and 2 before telltale games shut down. As long as you're expecting this to be a telltale style game and not a Minecraft style game you're in for a fun ride. Just don't expect it to be played at all like Minecraft.

And besides, the game isn't about the lore or story of Minecraft at all. it's about the adventure of some lovable characters in a mysterious world, toying with mysterious powers. You could view this as the official minecraft the movie but you get to make decisions and you choose the plot, meaning its even better than a minecraft movie.

    Now you guys might be saying, "But you can't change the plot of the story! Therefore it is false advertising and a terrible game!" C'mon. Do you really think that it's possible to make a game where you can change the WHOLE PLOT. Of course it's impossible to dictate the story's direction but your decisions still affect the story in tremendous ways(i.e. choosing to save petra or gabriel or choosing whose armor you take dictating who survives and who dies). Additionally, your choices build a personality for your character which is reflected in later episodes(as seen through the, so and so will remember that). I would know because I've played this game 3-4 times now from start to finish just to see that my choices truly affected the story and they did.

    People hate on this game because they are against giving minecraft a story. But in reality, this isn't the story of minecraft, it's the story of a few adventurers in the minecraft world. The creators will remain unknown and big lore details aren't really revealed.

    TLDR: User input MATTERS in this game. The characters are GOOD. The story is amazing. The villains are truly amazing. The design and concept is truly original and non-cliche(other than the cast being losers but I'm fine with that). There IS a plot, unlike what many people claim. The characters are LOVABLE if you give them a chance. This game is truly a Masterpiece.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Esse definitivamente foi um dos jogos que eu já joguei... eu não sei que magia que a telltale faz, mas o jogo é... surpreendente engajante, e eu não faço a menor ideia do porque.

    A história não é nada de elaborada mas te deixa apegada com os personagens e o jogo em si, principalmente a primeira parte. A segunda eu achei mais desconexa e inclusive o episódio 6 foi simplesmente ridículo, uma das coisas mais vergonha alheia que eu já vi. Dava pra ter feito os cameos de maneira mais sútil, não literalmente jogando eles na nossa cara!.

    Eu tive um seríssimo problema com saves na segunda parte, pois se eu perdesse um quick time event o jogo voltava duas ou até três cenas pra trás, o que me fez disperdicar muito tempo.

    Não vou mentir a morte do Reuben foi muito triste e posso falar que foi a parte que eu mais me engajei emocionalmente com o jogo... o que é estranho porque isso ainda é Minecraft... Mas no geral o jogo não é bom e nem ruim... na verdade é bem ok... tipo dá pra jogar e é legal.

I think people get hung up on the fact that it's supposed to be a Minecraft game, but I don't think that's what they were going for. It's much more enjoyable if you play it as a story-based adventure game that just happens to have Minecraft mechanics (which, I may add, they make good use of gameplay-wise). Overall, it's a fun story with likable characters, built off of mechanics integral to Minecraft gameplay. It isn't for everyone, but if you don't take it too seriously and go into it with an open mind I think you'll have a good time.… Expand

    I love the creativity by Majong and the Microsoft team in the Story Mode. It was so symbolic when Ruben died and immediately turned into pork. I remember crying of laughter and sadness. But now today i realize it is on Netflix which pisses me off because my ex wife took the Netflix account and change the password.

    I honestly am confused with the negative reviews on this game. Sure, the dialogue may be kinda cringe sometimes........ But the story's quite decent, the action segments are fun, and it's honestly pretty nostalgic. I'm still gonna give it a 7.6 out of 10 because you can't really change the story in a meaningful way.

    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.

    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.
