Minecraft: Story Mode understands that the blocky world is worth exploring deeper

It’s probably not easy to make something that shares its name with one of the most popular and beloved releases of all time, and yet that’s exactly what developer Telltale games has done with Minecraft: Story Mode, its adaptation of Minecraft, which is out now for consoles, PC, and smartphones (and which I played on Steam). But will the same fans who turned that block-building phenomenon into a blockbuster find anything to love about a narrative-heavy adventure game?

Minecraft has sold more than 70 million copies on game consoles, PC, and smartphones. And if I had to give you one reason it is so popular, I’d say that it has a lot to do with the game empowering players to tell their own stories and make their own worlds. That’s almost the exact opposite of how’d I describe a Telltale game — only, I think that’s probably a really good thing here.
