In 'Minecraft: Story Mode - Season 2,' players embark on a hilariously star-studded journey, fraught with absurd choices, witty dialogue, and all the heartwarming charm of a puppy playing fetch. Like its predecessor, this episode-based experience revolves around narrative-driven gameplay where players make decisions that impact the story. And yes, you get to customize your Jesse! Want a punk-rock Jesse? Go for it! Or perhaps an eco-warrior one who's obsessed with saving all the pigs? You do you, boo. The mouse-click and tap narrative style allows players to engage with non-playable characters via conversation trees and pick objects that feel vital to their adventure, like a nerd hoarding shiny Pokémon cards.
