Unless you're just hooked on TellTale's interactive stories, there's really not much to love here. Episode 2: Give No Shelter does introduce a handful of new characters, but should have spent the short amount of time developing the ones that are already there.

On its own, and clocking in at under an hour, Assembly Required is easily the weakest offering from the long-time adventure game maker. Fortunately, TellTale's 'Minecraft: Story Mode' is clearly marketed towards a younger audience, and fans of the original game, who are a lot more likely to forgive all of the game's shortcomings.

After a very long wait, the biggest payoff in "Smoke and Mirrors" is actually the preview for the next episode.

Episode two gets pretty intense, particularly towards the end, and if you’re squeamish this may not be the game for you.
