Minecraft: Story Mode - Season Two, Episode One Reviews
Minecraft: Story Mode Season 2 is a shining example of iteration done right. Instead of just slapping a new story onto the previous season's set of mechanics and calling it a day, it seems to be trying to deliver a far superior experience. It does suffer mildly from "setup tedium" when it comes to getting the plot going, but once it does, it becomes clear that there's a lot more going on here than in the first season. Assuming that the ride stays smooth throughout, this is shaping up to be one hell of a sophomore season for Minecraft: Story Mode.
Hero in Residence is a sterling start to Minecraft Story Mode Season 2, an entertaining, engaging outing which shows that that the series is capable of doing more than retreading old ground.
Overall I liked this episode which sets the base for a new season. The episode felt a little slow, but it ends on an epic cliffhanger (which I won't spoil here), and I can't wait to play the next episode!
While the first episode does drag a bit in its first half, "Hero in Residence" does a solid job of reintroducing Jesse, Petra, and the rest of the core cast since we last saw them while setting us up for another dose of adventure ahead.
Episode 1 - Hero in Residence feels like a promising start for Minecraft: Story Mode - Season Two. We have both new and old friends combined, as well as a couple of new threats to the world, all of which immediately make you eager to play more.
Hero in Residence is a solid start to the second season and another great episode.
In fact, the music was great the entire episode and I can't wait to use it as ambiance for my own workspace.
Overall, Telltale Minecraft Season 2, Episode 1 does well to give players the hype. We are very much excited for Episode 2 which has no announced release date as of yet.
Minecraft: Story Mode Season Two starts off really well and doesn’t let up from the opening chapter to the very last scene of “Hero in Residence”. It’s a great episode with plenty of freshness in the form of new characters and locations. The gameplay is way more varied this time around, with the balance between storytelling and input being just about right.
Minecraft: Story Mode - Season 2 - Episode 1: Hero in Residence turns out to be a game that has improved over the first season. This game, which satisfies me visually, creates a fresh game feeling with the change of some basic gameplay mechanics. You do not feel like you're playing a chapter in the first season. If you like the games of the Telltale Games, you have no reason not to play this game. Players who love the Minecraft brand and players who don't love can also play it. It's nothing like Minecraft. This is created by Telltale Games. They just share the same universe.
