A few other plotlines are given their due time to develop and progress, including a party member’s worsening case of Wither Sickness and another’s disillusionment with the seeming futility of their journey. Some of it feels a bit like filler, but ultimately, I don’t mind. At this point, I care enough about Jesse, Reuben, and the rest of the gang to be automatically interested in anything they’re a part of.
Minecraft: Story Mode – Episode 3: The Last Place You Look has a rather explosive finale, coupled with one of those important binary choices that Telltale is so fond of. It’s a shame that the way in which it is presented essentially gives away what’s about to happen, and that the consequence of this choice unfolds so quickly in the grand scheme of things, but such is the nature of the beast. The action scene that dominates the final chapters of this episode is fantastic, and coupling that with the twist ending makes it easy to be excited for the final two episodes of this series.
