MinnMax

Released every Thursday, The MinnMax Show features former Game Informer employees and beyond talking about the week's most exciting games or game industry news before reading feedback from the Patreon community found at patreon.com/minnmax.

The MinnMax Show

MinnMax's Ben Hanson, Jacob Geller, Kyle Hilliard, and Jeff Marchiafava unpack their full thoughts on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle from Machine Games and Bethesda and JeffM makes the bold claim that Diceomancer is better than Slay the Spire. Then Kelsey Lewin and Sarah Podzorski freshen up the place by raving about Infinity Nikki and Starstruck: Hands of Time. Then we answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week! You can win a prize and help make the show better by supporting us on Patreon and submitting a question! https://www.patreon.com/minnmax

We'll DM you a Steam code for Capcom's Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess if you support MinnMax on Patreon before 12/16 or until we hit 5,285 paid supporters - https://www.patreon.com/c/minnmax

MinnMax's full crew of Ben Hanson, Haley MacLean, Janet Garcia, Kelsey Lewin, Jacob Geller, Kyle Hilliard, Leo Vader, Jeff Marchiafava, and Sarah Podzorski kick off our Game of the Year debate that we call The Two Tens... in honor of the two Ns in MinnMax and Minnesota. We build up a list of our favorite games this year and then boil it down to the Top 20 entries. Sorry, that was a typo. We mean to call it The Two Tens. What will make the cut? Dragon's Dogma 2? Pacific Drive? Balatro? Kunitsi-Gami: Path of the Goddess? Tune in to find out! The final debate airs next week, but you can watch it all right now (including the "Pissy Zone" post-show) by supporting MinnMax at the $10 Backstage Pass tier.
