Summary

Welcome back to The MinnMax Show! This week's episode is quite different, since we're recording from the show floor at GDC 2022 with Ben Hanson, Leo Vader, and Fanbyte's Imran Khan! We talk about what it's like to be at a gaming convention again, debate how to cover the new Harry Potter game Hogwarts Legacy, unpack our time with the immersive sim Weird West, and talk about playing the new 4v1 game Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed. Then we answer questions from the community submitted over on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/minnmax
