About this episode
Welcome back to The MinnMax Show! On this week's episode, Ben Hanson is joined by Janet Garcia, Kyle Hilliard, and Jeff Marchiafava to unpack Xbox's new game showcase called Developer Direct with new looks at Redfall, Forza Motorsport, Minecraft Legends, and the big reveal and surprise release of Hi-Fi Rush from the creators of The Evil Within. Then we dive into the big meaty release of the week from Square-Enix called Forspoken, we debate the game's writing and what the action-RPG offers. Then Sarah Podzorski joins the show and we talk about playing Tchia and experimenting with Sony's new DualSense Edge Controller that they sent us. Then we answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week!
