Summary

This is it. It's time for the grand finale for MinnMax's Game of the Year debate, which we call The Two Tens. Ben Hanson is joined by Leo Vader, Janet Garcia, Jacob Geller, Kyle Hilliard, Kelsey Lewin, Jeff Marchiafava, Haley MacLean, and Sarah Podzorski to finalize the correct order for the 20 best games of 2023. Will Baldur's Gate 3 defeat Alan Wake 2? Should The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom be MinnMax's Game of the Year? How much can one person's passion carry a game up the list? Tune in to find out. Thanks for supporting MinnMax on Patreon and making this whole thing possible.
