The story of Jesse and his companions in Telltale Games' Minecraft: Story Mode comes to a conclusion in the series' fourth episode, with DualShockers reviewing Episode 4: A Block and a Hard Place.
Riding the success and critical reception of the third episode, the latest episode of Minecraft: Story Mode really continued to push a well thought out story combined with great, interesting and lengthy gameplay. A Block and A Hard Place does almost everything right, articulating the story and wrapping up an arching story line.
Travis Bruno of Capsule Computers writes:
"Minecraft: Story Mode has had many highs and lows throughout the few episodes that have been released so far but Telltale Games has managed to produce a fairly satisfying title up to this point. With a faster release schedule than usual fans of the series have been able to look forward to a new episode without waiting around too long and now we have the fourth episode, Minecraft: Story Mode: A Block and a Hard Place. With the core storyline set to come to an end this time around, have the developers managed to pull this one off successfully?"

Admittedly, I was down on this series when it started, but Minecraft: Story Mode - Episode 4: A Block and a Hard Place shows that the episodic releases leave room for growth. That is exactly what this series has done, becoming more interesting and offering more engaging gameplay as it continues towards a conclusion that I am actually looking forward to seeing now.
