This week on The MinnMax Show, Ben Hanson, Jacob Geller, Kyle Hilliard, and Jeff Marchiafava rave about Housemarque's new action roguelikes for PlayStation called Saros and discuss how the game compares to Returnal. This is a spoiler-free discussion and codes were provided by PlayStation. Then we talk about the excellent Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors and share the first hands-on preview impressions for Virtue and a Sledgehammer. Then Haley MacLean and special guest Deven McClure join the show to unpack Nintendo's strangest game in years: Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream and the IGF grand prize winning release of Titanium Court. Then we answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week!
