As Jesse, you'll embark on a perilous adventure across the Over world, through the Nether, to the End, and beyond.


You and your friends revere the legendary Order of the Stone: Warrior, Redstone Engineer, Griefer, and Architect; slayers of the Ender Dragon. While at EnderCon in hopes of meeting Gabriel the Warrior, you and your friends discover that something is wrong. something dreadful. Terror is unleashed, and you must set out on a quest to find The Order of the Stone if you are to save your world from oblivion. A five-part episodic series with the disc including episode one, and grants access to four more episodes as they become available to download (Internet connection required).

This was purchased for my son, and this rating is based on my son's comments, as he is the one playing it. He is a long time Minecraft fan, so he's coming to it with plenty of background in the original game. He referred to it as "epic", "story driven" and "very interactive." And since it is a Telltale game, you'd expect it to be just that way, an interactive story. 

The game does require that decisions be made as the tale unfolds, such as whether to ask someone to stay, or to go, for example, and these choices are supposed to shape the way the story progresses and alter events. There is also some minimal fighting to be done, Minecraft style, so expect some basic swordplay against the usual suspects.
  • Created by award-winning adventure game powerhouse Telltale Games, in partnership with Minecraft creators, Mojang
  • Featuring the voices of Patton Oswalt (Ratatouille, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D), Brian Posehn (The Sarah Silverman Program, Mission Hill), Ashley Johnson (The Last of Us, Tales from the Borderlands), Scott Porter (Friday Night Lights, X-Men)
  • Dave Fennoy (The Walking Dead: A Telltale Games Series, Batman: Arkham Knight), Martha Plimpton (The Goonies, Raising Hope), Corey Feldman (The Goonies, Stand by Me), Billy West (Futurama, Adventure Time), Paul Reubens (Tron: Uprising, Pee-Wee's Playhouse)
  • You will drive the story through the decisions you make: what you say to people (and how you say it), and what you choose to do in moments of thrilling action will make this YOUR story


But as to the caveat alluded to in the header, only episode one is on this disk, and purchasing it only entitles you to download the remaining episodes 2-5. It is in the description here on Amazon, and in small print on the back of the case, but could easily be overlooked in both places. So you'll have to have the means to download the remaining episodes--so be sure you can get online...which brings me to my next warning: Apparently episodes 2-5 aren't even yet available, which means that once your gamer is done with episode one, there's nothing to go on to. This was, understandably, a big disappointment to my son. It should not not be an issue in the however distant future, but for now is a huge downer.

Unless your gamer is a die hard Minecraft fan and absolutely has to have this right now, I would give serious consideration to waiting until all five episodes are available. Unfortunately, I don't have any idea as to the timeline for the roll out of the remaining episodes, so at this point it is an exercise in patience. Of course, my son just reminded me, you can always replay episode 1 and make different decisions.
