Yes, I realize that none of the other games have that option either, but considering the fact that the source material for this game is hugely popular with players as young as 6 or 7 years old, it would have been nice to have seen this as an option. Frustratingly, there is no option to adjust the time that the text stays on the screen. I also note that the choices are difficult to read because the text blends in with the candy colored Minecraft background. While it was great that the text choices were short and easier to read, the text timer seems to go faster than it does in the other Telltale adventure games which caused us to time out more than a few times before we had time to read the choices, ponder the options, and make a choice. She eventually (after much complaining) just opted for the paler skinned avatar with green eyes and brown hair.Īs the game started one of the things that I noticed in the first hour or so of play was that there were fewer Quicktime (action) events than in previous Telltale games and even when they were “failed” it didn’t effect the gameplay much, but (and this is anecdotal) the text choices were a different story. This went over well at my house since kiddo couldn’t make a character with with either blonde hair or blue eyes (because she has both). Since I’ve been thinking a lot about character creation lately I was really interested to see that you could choose to be male or female and have brown hair/pale skin/green eyes, black hair/brown skin/brown eyes, or black hair/dark skin/brown eyes. The characters are adorable, the bad guys are bad (but not too bad), Jesse has a pet pig named Rueben, and the narrative is simplistic (maybe too much so). Let me start by saying that this game is different from the other Telltale adventure games. And if you’ve been wondering how they were going to turn Minecraft into an adventure game and not lose the gazillion kids who play it, it seems to have been possible. One night this week at bedtime she informed me that when she came home from school the next afternoon that she was going to play 7 different games! She is definitely her mama’s child, but there was no way she was playing that many games in one day. Two of the new games that she and I did get around to playing this week (5 short of her one day goal) were Super Mario Maker and Telltale’s Minecraft: Story Mode.īeing a hardcore point and click adventure fan I was really excited that she wanted to play the new Telltale game. I have a pile of shame of epic proportions and with the recent release of new collectible games and Nintendo offerings this pile of shame has been extended to include my daughter.
