The Minecraft feature film teaser was seemingly so traumatic for some fans of the sandbox survival game to now publicly apologize to Minecraft: Story Mode.
This may not come as a surprise, but when Telltale’s episodic video game based on the Minecraft universe was originally released, not everyone was necessarily a fan. The developer’s efforts seem to be appreciated by the same crowd now.
Here are just some of the Story Mode excuses that have been popping up in response to the reveal of the Minecraft movie teaser:
“Right now I’m writing an emotional letter of apology to Minecraft Story Mode. Please forgive me.”
“Dear Minecraft Story Mode, I owe you an apology. In the excitement (and shock) of the new Minecraft movie trailer, I realize that I unfairly overlooked the heart and effort that went into Minecraft Story Mode. It may not have been perfect in everyone’s eyes, but it was honest attempt to tell a fun, interactive story in a beloved world.”
“Minecraft Story Mode – Maybe I was too hard on you”
“Minecraft Story-Mode we owe you an apology… this looks like it was made by an uncanny valley AI.”
Seriously, when we reviewed Minecraft: Story Mode on Switch in 2017, we actually thought it was a pretty “good” adventure – awarding it seven out of ten stars. Here’s a sample of what we had to say:
“If you’re a fan of Minecraft or just want to try something that’s halfway between a game and a Netflix show, this is a great game to jump into.”
