MinnMax's Ben Hanson, Jacob Geller, Sarah Podzorski, Janet Garcia, Jeff Marchiafava, and Leo Vader assemble for a big episode where we prepare for our Game of the Year debate for 2025. We share picks for games that we want to see on the list of "The Two Tens" and we need more people to play. After that, we talk about the excellent new games Town to City and Whisper of the House before unpacking Leo and Jacob's enthusiasm for Battlefield 6 and its new battle royale. Then it's nothing but community questions!

Help support MinnMax's supporters!

Congrats to Pew Pew Bang!

Vilis

There's a free Cauldron Demo, so I think everyone needs to at least complete that demo.

Vilis

To throw this into the Silent hill f discussion: I'm refusing to watch the other endings until I earn them, because I think we as Western folks discount cyclical time storytelling and that doing the same thing multiple times is kind of the point of reincarnation: I reached the end, I should be done vs. I reached the end, now to start again and do better. It had the risk of feeling gimmicky, but I feel it's quite compelling due to its deep spiritual and afterlife imagery. It's a journey of a soul. I undertsand Game Journalists need their time, but I think trying to level playing through multiple times as a negative is an error. (Also, I hear you get that arm waaay earlier on NG+.)

Coming in like James Cameron and writing KIRBY AIR RIDERS with a bnch of underlines under the S for goty of 2025 (also you should do a show for all the missed goty contenders)

I don’t get the Halo remake negativity. We’ve only had a half-baked remaster before, and now it’s a full on remake with 3 brand new missions, 4 player coop for the first time, and more new content. We’ve all been pumped for RE4’s multiple remasters and the remake, so I don’t get why this is different.

Lauren

I don't get the Halo negativity either! I think the cohort (one member in particular) forget that they are in a unique position where they own multiple consoles AND a PC! Games on multiple platforms in a nice thing so more people can get to experience them no?
