On this week's episode of The MinnMax Show, Ben Hanson is joined by Sarah Podzorski, Haley MacLean, Janet Garcia, and Jacob Geller to unpack the deluge of great games releasing in early May. We start out by talking about Ubisoft's reveal trailer for Assassin's Creed Shadows before diving into the surreal Nun-based adventure Indika, the amazing puzzles of Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, the dark farming world of Echoes of the Plum Grove, and the keyboard-based dungeon-crawler Cryptmaster. Then we're joined by the creative director for XCOM and Marvel's Midnight Suns Jake Solomon to talk about leaving Firaxis to start Midsummer Studios for a ton of community questions submitted on Patreon.
