    While not quite as good as Tales From the Borderlands was, Minecraft: Story Mode Episode 1 is a pretty solid start to the series. The story is off to a pretty good start, the characters interact with each other nicely, and the voice acting is quite good as well. There aren’t many puzzle interactions in the episode and the ones that are there are rather easy to solve, but hopefully that and the combat will improve in later episodes.

    All told, Minecraft: Story Mode is a wild ride from start to finish, telling a riveting tale filled with plot twists and interesting characters.

    The first chapter of Minecraft: Story Mode is a fun start to a five episode series.

    Those looking for a deep story or compelling adventure gameplay may not find it, but there’s a lot to love in this first episode. It’s just not for everyone.
