Video Review

Ranking:

The glitch wall, Ivor’s maze, enlarged wither storm, and more are some of the nicest set pieces we’ve seen to date in 'Minecraft: Story Mode'. The only issue is a moderate framerate drop towards the end of the episode.

Audio Review

Ranking:

The cast gives another great performance, especially Paul Reubens’ turn as a remorseful Ivor. The sound is otherwise similar to the other episodes and has no glaring problems.

Final Thoughts

'A Block and a Hard Place' is a return to form for 'Story Mode', shoring up the series after the last few episodes have faltered. The climax comes a bit sooner than expected, but the pacing during the wither episodes felt rushed at times, so there’s no harm in moving on before the final outing.
