MinnMax's Ben Hanson, Janet Garcia, Kyle Hilliard, and Jeff Marchiafava run through their current personal Game of the Year pick (and some runner-ups) before shifting over to the horizon and speculating about which upcoming 2025 game could claim the top spot? Then we talk about The Rogue Prince of Persia and why Evil Empire's follow-up to their work on Dead Cells isn't making a bigger splash. Then we answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week!
