Telling deep stories was always a key element of Telltale Games back when the company was still around making its episodic adventures. In its final years, the company took some of the more popular IPs out there and turned them into unique experiences with a Telltale charm.
One of these IPs was Minecraft, a game that has no discernable plot. Regardless of this, Telltale was able to create a solid adventure in Minecraft Story Mode. Many players fell in love with Jesse and friends, but those looking to experience the game no longer have the ability to do so. Luckily, there are quite a few games of this style or genre that are worth checking out.
10 Minecraft Dungeons
The story of Minecraft Dungeons does not run nearly as deep as Minecraft Story Mode, but the game does take place in the same universe and is interesting enough to get players who love either the Telltale game or the original game by Mojang to spend some time with it. The story revolves around an Illager named Archie who has discovered the “Orb of Dominance” and is using the powers from the orb to seek vengeance against those that he believes wronged him. It’s up to the player to go through dungeons and level up to the point of being able to bring him down.
9 Night In The Woods
Minecraft Story Mode is known for having both a unique art style and a story that focuses more on narrative than gameplay. Those looking for a fun adventure game like this should check out Night in the Woods. The game focuses on Mae as she returns home to her small town of Possum Springs to discover that a mystery is unfolding. The game revolves around exploration, social interaction, and mini-games that can either help Mae complete a daily task or unlock another secret that is hidden in the town.
8 Stardew Valley
Another game that is more related to Minecraft itself than Minecraft Story Mode in terms of gameplay, Stardew Valley is worth checking out if players enjoy getting to know individual characters and their story in the small community of Pelican Town.
In the game, players have inherited a farm that was owned by their grandfather. Along the way, players can help grow their farm up while bonding with members of the community, some of which are eligible to be married. The lore of each character, plus of the surrounding area, could hook anyone in.
7 Undertale
There were times where Minecraft Story Mode had its funny and wholesome moments, but there were some dark and sad moments as well. It can be an emotional journey and those looking to experience a similar feeling should check out Undertale. A turn-based RPG, the game revolves around the decision as to whether to fight the monsters in the way or bond with them to understand their issues. Similar to Minecraft Story Mode, the decisions made in Undertale affect how the game turns out and what the player experiences.
6 Life Is Strange
When it comes to deep stories that give players the ability to paint their own path as to how it ends, Life Is Strange perfectly embodies a journey that can be tailored to the player’s liking thanks to the ability to travel back in time and redo certain events. Players take on the role of Max Caulfield, an 18-year-old photographer who learns this ability after witnessing the murder of a childhood friend and using the powers to rescue her. Players will experience a series of events over five episodes they can rewind and change.
5 Day Of The Tentacle
Fighting a giant horrific monster is the central premise of the first four episodes of Minecraft Story Mode. One of the best point-and-click adventure games revolving around fighting a monstrosity is the 1990s classic Day of the Tentacle. A sequel to the 1987 game Maniac Mansion, this LucasArts game revolves around Bernard Bernoulli and his friends Hoagie and Laverne as they take on a sentient limb looking to take over the world called the Purple Tentacle. The game revolves around exploring history through time travel in order to stop the attack.
4 Kentucky Route Zero
Minecraft Story Mode is best described as an episodic point-and-click adventure game. Those looking to dive deeper into the genre should look to some of the best it has to offer. Kentucky Route Zero, which has five episodes that have come out over the last seven years, is considered by many to be one of the best games in the genre ever.
Players follow Conway, a truck driver who is making his final delivery for the antique store he works for by driving down Route Zero. Along the way, he encounters a plethora of different characters and unique locations.
3 The Walking Dead
Telltale Games was around for a long time before they ceased operation, but if there is one game that they will be most remembered for, it will be their video game adaption of The Walking Dead comic book series with the same title. The game revolves around the journey of Lee Everett, an escaped convict who must survive the zombie apocalypse while taking care of a little girl named Clementine, who he rescued while on the run. The game uses some of the same mechanics of Minecraft Story Mode, so those familiar will be used to the gameplay.
2 Sam & Max Save the World
Telltale has a history of adopting games from comic books. Another example of this is Sam & Max Save The World, the first video game involving the franchise since 1993. The main characters are private investigators with Sam being an anthropomorphic dog and Max being an overly-excited and violent rabbit. Players control Sam in a point-and-click format to explore an area and solve puzzles in order to get to the bottom of a mystery. Cases range from investigating child stars known as SodaPoppers to infiltrating a mob known as the Toy Mafia.
1 Tales Of Monkey Island
Monkey Island was one of the most popular point-and-click adventure games of the 1990s. LucasArts licensed the game to Telltale to revive the series under Tales of Monkey Island. The game revolves around Guybrush Threepwood who is looking to clean up the mess of unleashing a pox across the Gulf of Melange after trying to take down his nemesis LeChuck. The game relies heavily on exploration and puzzle-solving. The game is the perfect age range for anyone who played Minecraft Story Mode, made by the same developers.
