I understand this is catered to ages 7-12, but I enjoyed this series as a teenager (14-16)! I'm now an adult, and I still hold it in high regard. The trio of friends, Kelly, Hannah, and Darbie encompass many attributes that make them great role models for girls their age. They're each very mature, well-behaved, yet they still aren't perfect and make mistakes. I also value the deeper themes. Divorce, illness, fear, grief, and other conflicts are addressed throughout the show, which introduces kids to these topics effectively. There are some aspects which are dumbed down (the writing definitely reflects this), but that's not as significant because of the target audience. Overall, great for kids! Would definitely watch it with my future children!

Minecraft: Story Mode - A Telltale Games Series
(2015 Video Game)
Satisfactory Telltale + Minecraft Fusion
5 August 2023
Minecraft: Story Mode was a game I thoroughly enjoyed at the age of twelve, and even now as an adult I reminisce fondly on the memories. Telltale is basically a company that creates interactive movies sold as video games, and this format isn't for everyone. It's also not for everyone to enjoy pixelated characters and landscapes, lower than average writing, corny dialogue/humor, and light cursing (just "hell" and "damn"). However, this game had my childhood self captivated by its memorable characters, world-building, and storyline. It also has deeper messages under its cheesy exterior, teaching lessons on friendship, teamwork, determination, forgiveness, and facing your demons. Kids will like it a lot. Adults? You have to be a special individual to enjoy it. In the short, if you're a lover of Minecraft, going through a nerdy tween phase, and you don't mind Jesse yelling "damn chickens!", give it a try.
