Minecraft: Story Mode — Episode 1 received a score of 7 in GameSpot’s review. Critic Randolph Ramsay said, “It’s a pleasant start, packed with individual events but featuring little in the way of narrative propulsion. When I reached the end of this episode, I wanted more. I’m hoping that, like most outstanding Minecraft creations, Minecraft: Story Mode just needs a little more time to build.”
