Zombies are one of the most basic yet alarming mobs in Minecraft . They endlessly stalk the player at night, standing at doorways and groaning in a low and unnerving tone until the light of the Sun fills the sky and burns them to a crisp. Husks are just like their undead counterparts but have a unique “superpower” that allows them to stand up to the sun, and they won’t catch on fire and disappear like their breth

Giving life to a game that is notorious for not having any real plot or development within the story, Telltale did an incredible job capturing the world of Minecraft . They gave insight into the inhabitants of whatever world Minecraft takes place in and what they do when they aren’t building or crafting. Inhabitants don’t go around killing every zombie and spider in sight and in fact aren’t actually set on mining for the greatest minerals to build the biggest buildings and the greatest weapons, which makes sense. With the decision-based mechanics of the episode, you give Jesse the opportunity to make his,(or her) own decisions that will essentially shape his personality as well as the way that others perceive him. Though a good majority of the decisions only result in “She/He will remember that,” some are detrimental decisions that can make or break your situation. Regardless of how you play the episode, it offers a lot more than just being a TV show that you play and allows players the chance to create the story that they couldn’t play before. For being only the first episode in this five episode series, the series gets off to an incredible start.

Stickmanhasfeet’s battleship is impressive as it is, but it’s even more awesome when players realize that they actually completed this build in survival mode. The sheer dedication needed for something like this is impressive, but hard work tends to pay

The desert biome in Minecraft is usually not the most popular choice for players to build in, but it can be a good place to start for giant builds due to the amount of flat surface. There’s also no clearing needed when it comes to trees and shr

Chivalry may have lifted much of its design from the standard FPS multiplayer, but cleverly uses that established context as a foundation that allows the developers to instead focus on the things the game can do that no others can. In that pursuit, it is a success that may have similar company, but no true equal.

Medieval and traditional building styles will often reign supreme in Minecraft Strategy , due to the game’s natural style. The wood and stone textures inspire players to go for these traditional, almost gothic-style builds, as seen in this grandiose cas

The episode relies prettily on QTE (Quick Time Events) and gives you something next to decision making to worry about. While a lot of the QTE are really to avoid taking damage, some are just used for the sake of being there, like to build things, but they also add to your situation and count as something else to watch out for. You are given a set of ten hearts to have throughout the episode (and most likely throughout the series) and damage gets taken away every time you are either attacked by an enemy or fail to do a QTE. The QTE also acts as its own decision as some events can change how a person sees you. It isn’t as effective as a regular decision, but something like which group of people you want to run with or how long it takes you to do something might have a much more of an impact in the future.

ColtusBoltus chose to go at this challenging build alone, constructing this beautiful life-like town. No doubt getting the layout and building designs right took them a lot of time and careful planning to pull

Yes, you could say that. This is a free building game but it is story driven, and what is built drives the progression of the story which we feel is one of the more interesting aspects of the game. As you build up your town it attracts more NPCs, but it also attracts monsters that will come to attack your town and try to destroy it. There is an ending to the story and there are major events at certain points in the story but these can be reached at any pace the player chooses. The player can only focus on completing the story and rush through the game or they can complete the story at a leisurely pace and spent a lot of time building what they want to and exploring the world. Dragon Quest Builders was designed to be played in whatever style someone chooses to.

Minecraft: Story Mode – Episode 4: A Block and a Hard Place is the strongest episode yet in basically every aspect. Employing emotional factors as well as hard story elements, Telltale has managed to create a story that originated from just a few blocks. Every second of this two hour episode was spent towards making the player feel as though everyone really is depending on them to save the world. Hard times fall, but Jessie and his friends make this episode an unforgettable experience that one can only hope to be transferred to next and final episode of this series.
