The MinnMax Show

Episode Notes On this huge episode of The MinnMax Show, Ben Hanson, Jeff Marchiafava, Suriel Vazquez, Ana Diaz, Kyle Hilliard, and Leo Vader unpack the year's highlights by debating the nominees and winners for our categories. We talk about the biggest games of the year like Final Fantasy VII Remake, The Last of Us Part II, Ghost of Tsushima, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Half-Life: Alyx, and more. Each category earns a Maximum winner and a Minimum winner, naturally. We stayed pretty vague, but we've noted in the timestamps below which games are very lightly spoiled in these discussions. The next two episodes of The MinnMax Show will cover our full game of the year debates, and you can watch us record them live early by jumping into the Backstage Pass tier on Patreon.
