Typically, that sort of thing only happens on Tuesdays, but, hey, this day seemed like a pretty good day for a world-ending calamity.

(Who said bacon wasn’t man’s best friend?)Īfter a short controls tutorial in the form of a quick time style training montage, you and your posse are off to the contest! One thing leads to another and somewhere along the line, you meet one of Minecraft’s legendary heroes from the Order of the Stone… and you also become party to summoning a world-ending calamity: the Wither Storm. Oh yeah, and there is also Reuben – your pet pig and one of the most fantastic characters in the game. Joined by his (or her – dependent on the avatar you choose) close friends and fellow underdogs, Axel and Olivia, Jesse sets out to enter a building contest for EnderCon. In Minecraft: Story Mode, you fill the chunky, pixelated shoes of Jesse – an aspiring builder that just wants some recognition for their sweet building skills. Packaged for the Nintendo Switch as the “Complete Edition,” this game contains all five episodes of Season One as well as a three-episode adventure aptly named Adventure Mode. This is our Minecraft: Story Mode review for the Nintendo Switch.

Hot off the heels of its Season Two release, Minecraft Story Mode crashed onto the Nintendo Switch this week in true Telltale Games fashion: with immediate exposition, rapid quicktime events, witty humor, a killer soundtrack, and the crippling fear that you may just ruin a relationship or two along your journey.
