Minecraft: Story Mode - A Telltale Games Series - 'A Block and a Hard Place'
Overview -
'A Block and a Hard Place' is the fourth episode in 'Minecraft: Story Mode', following 'The Order of the Stone', 'Assembly Required', and 'The Last Place You Look'.
Video Review
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
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.
