Hello, everybody, and welcome to a new episode of The MinMAC Show,

place about games, friends getting better.

I'm Ben Hansen, joined by Jeff Markiafava.

That's me.

Choo-choo, we're joined by Kyle Hilliard.

Hey-yo.

Joined by Jacob Giller.

Is this the companion podcast to the Leo Wynn show? That's right. Check out

New Show Plus if you're confused. We got a hell of an episode for y'all. We are talking about

Saros, the new PlayStation game from Housemark. We're going to be unpacking that in a big way.

We're talking vampire crawlers, the true follow-up successor to vampire survivors, talking a little bit about a game that Jacob and I got to go see in Spain. We're like, oh, we should really talk about the game itself instead of just the Mid-Mack Spotlight that's going to be coming out next week or early May. But Virtue and a Sledgehammer, we're going to be talking a little bit about that. And then Devin McClure is going to be joining us, and we're talking Tomidachi Life, Living the Dream, the first of, I hope, several discussions about that weirdo Nintendo game.

We're talking titanium court from the co-director of Consume Me, and then back after the show, some wonderful community questions people submitted over there in Patreon world.

This is fun. I love tackling new IP on the podcast. I think it's even more fun because we're like, you know,

obviously pre-recording this. And so I don't think anybody knows what anybody else thinks about

Saros at this point. Is that correct? Yeah. I'm messaging a bunch of who I know are working on reviews, just being like, what did you think? Tell me the review. I have, I have been messaging, but I think you've, which I appreciate, Jacob, you never asked me like what I thought and I didn't, and I didn't want to get your thoughts either while I was working on the review. No, we've just kind of been like, I'm this far. Are you this far? Awesome. Here's a picture that's relevant to one of the bosses. Interesting. All right, Saros, codes provided by PlayStation here. We should point out, Jeff and I have been playing a bit of it, and then Jacob and Kyle, have you both finished it or were you at with Soros? Yeah, like true ending finished it, I think. We're discussing before we started that we got the epilogue ending, yeah.

All right, Jacob, how are you feeling about it?

Crack that seal, baby?

It's like, it's a two big thumbs up from me

with the caveat that if Returnal is one of my favorite games ever, this is a interesting

sophomore effort that doesn't quite, like, blow it out of the water.

Interesting.

I don't know you're that high in Returnal.
