About this episode
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. We dive into the timelessness of Chrono Trigger, Leo gushes more about The Finals, and Sarah explains why House Flipper 2 is better than the first. 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. Then we answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week!
