Game Highlight : Minecraft Story Mode

Hey readers! Today I have another Game Highlight for you.  Last week (now two weeks as I am publishing this post), an incredible game called Minecraft Story Mode was released to the public. I immediately fell in love with the concept and story line. Minecraft Story Mode is a single player clicker game, where the choices you make affect the outcome of your story. One person could play one way, but you could play another, which results in a different ending.

Summary

The story begins with a group of friends, Olivia, Axel, Jesse (you), and Reuben (your pet pig). They are attending a convention called Endercon where they take part in a building competition. The winner of this building competition has the opportunity to meet one of the ultimate warriors of Minecraft. His name is Gabriel. Gabriel is one of four great warriors in a group called The Order of the Stone. Together, they have been the first to defeat the Enderdragon. Jesse and his/her friends look up to Gabriel and are motivated to win this building competition. Once Jesse and his/her friends arrive to the convention, something unexpected happens which could potentially change their lives forever. Their job is to set out on a long journey to essentially solve this mystery.Apple

Review

This epic story-telling game by Telltale Games (the creators of The Walking Dead game) is something definitely worth purchasing or checking out. Much like the game Life is Strange, which I have reviewed in another post, Minecraft Story Mode has a very intriguing plot which draws your attention. Even from early on, you get attached to the characters.This game is also episode-based, so the first episode just recently came out last week and the second episode has already been released!

Something I found very fascinating is that the building and the scenery you see in the game was all built in Minecraft (the game). You can see by the incredible art style and smooth gameplay that this game is very well-made. I also love how it's very hands-on and interactive. There are a lot of desicions to be made which could effect the outcome of the story in many ways. I so far have no complaints and recommend giving this a try. If you're not too sure what to think of it just yet, watch a couple of my favorite family-friendly playthroughs on YouTube. I will leave them listed below. Thanks for reading! :)
