PlayStation 4 Critic Reviews

The presentation of the game again is spot on and stays true to the world of Minecraft.

Minecraft: Story Mode – Episode 4: A Block and a Hard Place is the strongest episode yet in basically every aspect.

This is getting better. It’s definitely getting better. The story is way funnier, it has the best puzzles in the series, and it is also the chapter with the best moral choices. If it keeps growing like this, it could become REALLY good. We didn’t expect it, seeing how it began.

As of episode four, Minecraft: Story Mode feels like it’s on the right track to conclude in a more interesting way than it originally appeared, but I’m not sure yet whether that makes dragging yourself through the first three episodes worth it to see the better places the series goes as it nears its conclusion.

A satisfying conclusion to this story arc, full of revelations, heartbreak and humour. The only things that really hamper Story Mode’s penultimate episode are some predictable moments and how little much of its cast have developed over the span of the past four episodes.

Telltale is finding the right way to make Minecraft: Story Mode a game for everyone, and not just for kids. It's a little bit late, but if you've liked it so far, you're going to enjoy this fourth episode.

The beginning and ending are strong, but the middle lacks depth and challenge. The story and humor keep the episode interesting throughout.

The fourth and penultimate episode of Telltale's first season of Minecraft: Story Mode has yet again failed to impress.
