Summary

Episode Notes

Welcome back to The MinnMax Show! We have a huge, fun episode for you this week as we're joined by friend of the show Jacob Geller to talk about Ubisoft's Immortals Fenyx Rising and how it compares to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Then we're joined by Ana Diaz and Leo Vader as we share (along with the community) our picks for the most underappreciated games of 2020. We also look at the nominees for The Game Awards' Game of the Year and pick the most likely winner. 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
