Parents had better beware before they let little Timmy and Josie sit down with the first Minecraft: Story Mode game. Why? Well, unlike the family friendly Minecraft, Minecraft: Story Mode will have some mild bad language, as stated by the PEGI ratings board.
The season premiere episode of Minecraft: Story Mode has been made available as a free download on multiple platforms, Telltale Games has today announced.
I love the business practice of eventually releasing the first episode of an episodic series for free
NE: "Since TellTale Games’ sudden rise to popularity, Nintendo consoles have not seen anything from the adventure game studio. At long last, however, soon after the ever-popular Minecraft finally hit the Wii U, TellTale Games makes its triumphant return in Minecraft: Story Mode. But is Episode 1: The Order of the Stone a worthy experience, or a mediocre one?"
Minecraft: Story Mode is another triumph for Telltale Games, and it’s a surprising one. It should never have worked, which is essentially the unofficial company line for Telltale. The studio takes concepts you could never imagine being draped over its aging adventure game skeleton, and transforms the covered bones into episodic gold dust. As it turns out, Mojang’s galactically popular sandbox game was the perfect candidate for Telltale’s magic touch.
