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.

Welcome back to The MinnMax Show! On this week's episode Ben Hanson, Leo Vader, and Suriel Vazquez are joined by GameSpot's video producer Jake Dekker (@jacobdekk) to walk through the launch of the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 and our most-anticipated games like Insomniac's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Yakuza: Like A Dragon, and more. Then we learn about the backstory and history of the world of Cyberpunk to get ready for CD Projekt RED's Cyberpunk 2077. 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 leaving a question! https://www.patreon.com/minnmax

It's a bit ahead of schedule but here's a link for our next charity drive in conjunction with our upcoming documentary on The Oregon Trail! https://www.givemn.org/oregontrail
