007 First Light, Mina The Hollower Review, Gaming's Skyrocketing Prices

We'll DM you a Steam code for Town To City if you support MinnMax at any tier before Monday, June 1st, 2026. The city-builder with overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam just went 1.0! Offer for brand new supporters only. https://www.patreon.com/minnmax

MinnMax's Ben Hanson, Leo Vader, Janet Garcia, Jeff Marchiafava, and special guest (and former MinnMax cohort) Suriel Vazquez rave about 007 First Light from the developers of Hitman and explain why it's the best Bond game yet. Then Kyle Hilliard joins the show as we review Mina the Hollower from Yacht Club Games, debate how "Arkham" LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is, and throw up our hands in frustration about the Steam Deck price increases. Oh, and we also try to wrap our minds around Yoshi and the Mysterious Book on Nintendo Switch 2. Then we answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week! You can win a prize and help make the show better by supporting us on Patreon and submitting a question! https://www.patreon.com/minnmax
