7/10
Brick by brick.

'Minecraft: Story Mode - A Telltale Games Series (2015)' isn't Telltale's most mature, affecting or, even, fun game. It is, however, an enjoyably silly adventure that remains entertaining enough throughout. Even its extended episodes, which sort of feel detached from the main game even though they begin before the initially shipped story ends, are entertaining. They're essentially one-shot romps with a breezy pace and a care-free attitude. They also cross over a fair few genres, which keeps them feeling fresh. The game is a typical, modern-day 'choose your own adventure'. Its gameplay primarily consists of dialogue options and quick-time events, though it does contain some more classic - if rudimentary - puzzles, too. The choices don't change a huge amount but they still feel impactful. Telltale continue to display some great writing, keeping you onboard with the absurd story they want to tell and, even, giving you an inevitable lump in your throat. Look, this isn't exactly the pinnacle of gaming. Yet, there's enough here to keep you engaged and it's an enjoyable experience on the whole. 7/10
