Being the last episode in the Minecraft: Story Mode story, the episode doesn’t really close out the story of the Order of the Stone as a whole and really only makes it an addition to one of the many adventures that Jessie will have. It seems a little distant from the kind of heroes that the group wanted to be at the closing of the fifth episode, but it could very well be that they aren’t ready for...
This episode is a step up from the previous one, starting up the halfway point of the Adventure Pass on a much higher note, but it falls short in longevity, proving that a character can be developed and well liked if focused on and given more tie as opposed to adding several characters that don’t necessarily add to the story. What we really took away from the experience was the rushed feeling of the...
While this is a relatively weak episode in the Minecraft: Story Mode world, it isn’t the worst episode and with the addition of the new characters, it will be enjoyable for fans and players alike. As an overall episode, the story is great but there are a few missed opportunities that Telltale could have taken advantage of to make it much better than what the final product is. Hopefully, Telltale...
Minecraft: Story Mode – Episode 5: Order Up! shapes up to be an incredible introduction to the Order of the Stone’s newest adventures, but still manages to fall a little short. Telltale introduces new concepts, characters and worlds, but their biggest mistake was shoving it all into a single episode. Had they created a separate season talking about the events of Sky City and expanding a little bit...
Episode 5: Order Up continues the tale of the New Order of the Stone, but this fifth episode doesn’t live up to the gradually building excitement of its predecessors.

Episode 5: Order Up continues the tale of the New Order of the Stone, but this fifth episode doesn’t live up to the gradually building excitement of its predecessors.
Minecraft: Story Mode – Episode 4: A Block and a Hard Place is the strongest episode yet in basically every aspect. Employing emotional factors as well as hard story elements, Telltale has managed to create a story that originated from just a few blocks. Every second of this two hour episode was spent towards making the player feel as though everyone really is depending on them to save the world....
Minecraft: Story Mode – Episode 3 is a mixture of humor and emotion, but never loses itself as being an addition to the original game. It’s littered with crucial story elements and plot twists that easily makes this the best episode in the series yet. The episode, depending on your decisions in previous episodes, ends with a cliffhanger that makes you hungry for the next. It’s as though Telltale...
Minecraft: Story Mode – Episode 2: Assembly Required doesn’t meet the bar that the previous episode set, but that doesn’t rule it out as awful. The fact that it relies on environments to cover the fact that there’s really nothing to do/talk about gives reason as to why forked paths are rarely done in games. There are no new innovations and because of that, the story should be a little stronger, but...
Telltale's second episode in Minecraft: Story Mode doesn't bring the same charm as the first.
