Summary
The hero's life can be tough. On the one hand, now that Jesse and his/her pals have vanquished the Wither Storm, saved the world and generally become awesome heroes, they're basking in the glory of everything they've achieved. On the other, they've got more responsibilities and less time for adventure, not to mention the fact that old friendships are starting to fade. Things get decidedly more adventurous, however, when Jesse's hand gets stuck in a creepy gauntlet from a really, REALLY old underwater temple and they found themselves dealing with a terrifying crevasse that Jesse and Petra dub the Heckmouth.
The action picks up not long after the action of Season One, and series veterans will be able to carry over their save data from the first game (although newcomers will be able to jump straight in, too!) Like the first game, it takes the blocky world of Minecraft that's become a second home to millions of players and adds some serious story into the mix. The emphasis is squarely on interactive narrative, with players making a series of decisions for Jesse (who can be either a boy or a girl) that will affect how the story progresses, with bursts of action and puzzle-solving peppered throughout to spice things up.
New to this season is Telltale Games' multiplayer 'crowd play' feature, which enables other players to weigh in on the decision making from any mobile device with an internet connection.
The game features voice acting from Patton Oswalt, Catherine Taber, Ashley Johnson, and Scott Porter, and also packs in cameos from Stampy Cat, stacyplays and other figures from the Minecraft community on YouTube.
The game disc includes Episode One, as well as a season pass for the other four episodes.
