Summary

Welcome back to The MinnMax Show podcast! On this week's episode, Ben Hanson, Kyle Hilliard, Kelsey Lewin, and Jacob Geller debate and create a list of the most epic video games ever made. We're factoring in the game's scope, ambition, budget, and downright lunacy. Then we unpack some new games we've been enjoying like Rollerdrome from Roll7, Midnight Fight Express, and Xenoblade Chronicles 3 on the Nintendo Switch. Then we answer some wonderful questions from the community in the back half of the show.
