Welcome back to The MinnMax Show! On the first episode for 2024, Ben Hanson (currently remote from Puerto Rico) is joined by Sarah Podzorski, Jacob Geller, Kyle Hilliard, and Leo Vader to talk about the surprising games we all played over holiday the break.

Oh, also Kyle talks about catching up on the great games of 2023 by playing Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Final Fantasy XVI. We also run down the "objective" list of the best games from 2023 by reading off the MinnMax community's Two Tens, or technically their Top 20 list that's been hive-minded from nearly 500 voters.

On this episode of The MinnMax Show, Ben Hanson is joined by Kelsey Lewin, Jacob Geller, and Kyle Hilliard to set the scene for MinnMax's game of the year debate. We share games we think more people should play before we record The Two Tens and recommend games that deserve more love this year. Leave a comment and let us know the games you think we should play before our debates. Then we're joined by NoClip's Danny O'Dwyer to talk about working directly with Valve to create the new documentary on the 25th anniversary of Half-Life and we answer a ton of great community questions submitted on Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/minnmax Watch and share the video version here - https://youtu.be/C9K0meTjSwg You can watch Danny O'Dwyer's Half-Life documentary here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbZ3HzvFEto Check out NoClip's documentaries here - https://www.youtube.com/@NoclipDocs Help support MinnMax's supporters! https://www.hellofresh.com/minnmaxfree - Promo code: MINNMAXFREE https://www.uncommongoods.com/minnmax - 15% off https://www.tryfirstleaf.com/minnmax - 6 wine bottles for $44.95 https://www.iam8bit.com - 10% off with Promo Code: GOBBLETILYOUWOBBLE RSVP for Day of the Devs in LA on December 8th here - https://bit.ly/dotd2023gameawardseditiontickets To jump to a particular discussion, check out the timestamps below... 00:00:00 - Intro 00:03:05 - Prepping for Game of the Year debate 00:04:46 - Like A Dragon: Gaiden 00:06:38 - Kelsey preparing for The Two Tens 00:08:30 - RPGs and Star Ocean: The Second Story R 00:11:07 - Sea of Stars and Super Mario RPG 00:13:15 - Tchia 00:15:35 - A Space For The Unbound 00:17:47 - Octopath Traveler 2 00:20:16 - Hi-Fi Rush 00:25:01 - Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew 00:26:39 - Humanity 00:29:33 - The Talos Principle 2 00:31:17 - The Making Of Karateka 00:32:36 - Theatrhythm Final Bar Line 00:33:01 - PARANORMASIGHT: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo 00:34:04 - Pikmin 4 00:34:53 - Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon 00:36:02 - Rapid-fire recommendations 00:39:31 - Thanking MinnMax's biggest supporters 00:46:23 - Community questions 00:56:59 - Assassin's Creed Nexus VR 01:00:20 - Danny O'Dwyer on working with Valve on the new Half-Life documentary 01:35:04 - More community questions 02:01:32 - Get A Load Of This Danny's GALOT - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGhcSupkNs8 Hanson's GALOT - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DWxWVigsKI Kyle's GALOT - https://www.tiktok.com/@littlesiha/video/7293627480978607391?_r=1&_t=8hWnimrHDZu Jacob's GALOT - https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/nov/21/wallace-and-gromit-aardman-animations-reassures-fans-over-clay-shortage Community GALOT - https://fxtwitter.com/CrowdControl/status/1726698316195680634 Disclosure - Games discussed on MinnMax content are most often provided for free by the publisher or developer.
