On 11 July the second season of Minecraft: Story Mode with the debut of Hero in Residence, which we defined as a “good starting point”. Now that we've got our hands on the second episode of this Season Two, Giant Consequences, we can already get a slightly less approximate idea of the Telltale Games project.
The second album is increasingly difficult [cit.]
As part of the first season of Minecraft: Story Mode, the second episode was undoubtedly the lowest moment, to the point of leaving little hope for a recovery, which, moreover, took place at least in part. Fortunately Giant Consequences does its job in a better way, succeeding in its intent arouse the player's interest in upcoming chapters.
After the introductory events of Hero in Residence we get to the heart of the quest, and the roles of the characters - especially the new ones, among which Admin stands out - become clearer. There are already some small plot twists, even if it is clear that spannung will be reached later, probably between the third and fourth episodes. Currently part of the protagonists of the first season does not have important roles, but it is also true that it is still too early to sum up, also because their absence is a theme developed by the plot. Also the pace and duration do not fall below the standards of the series, therefore we cannot be said to be dissatisfied.
But the gameplay?
Probably themost disappointing aspect this time around is the gameplay, characterized by not particularly compelling interactive sequences. Compared to Hero in Residence there are no news or evolutions of any kind, on the contrary, the Quick Time Events appear less articulated in the choreography and more simplistic in the execution.
The fighting remains (in their "new" guise), crafting and construction, while the puzzle solving component is almost absent. The only notable addition is a target shooting minigame: it entertains, without proving to be a real challenge.
Minecraft: Story Mode - Season Two - Episode Two: Giant Consequences has, if nothing else, the great advantage of not dampening the player's interest after the conclusion of Hero in Residence. The premises for an appreciable ascending climax in the next chapters are all there, so we just have to wait for September (when Ep. 3: Jailhouse Block will be released) and hope for the best.
