Delayed Input's @KyleBosman rolls in as guest host this week to turn MinnMax's Kyle Hilliard, Janet Garcia, Haley MacLean and Leo Vader against each other with a violent debate on the top five Switch 1 games of all time. Then, Leo fundamentally disagrees with extraction shooter Arc Raiders and obviously adores goofball immersive sim Skin Deep. We also get into Kyle Hilliard's beloved Apple Arcade jigsaw puzzler Puffies before answering Patreon community submitted questions!

MinnMax's full crew of Ben Hanson, Haley MacLean, Janet Garcia, Kelsey Lewin, Jacob Geller, Kyle Hilliard, Leo Vader, Jeff Marchiafava, and Sarah Podzorski kick off our Game of the Year debate that we call The Two Tens... in honor of the two Ns in MinnMax and Minnesota. We build up a list of our favorite games this year and then boil it down to the Top 20 entries. Sorry, that was a typo. We mean to call it The Two Tens. What will make the cut? Dragon's Dogma 2? Pacific Drive? Balatro? Kunitsi-Gami: Path of the Goddess? Tune in to find out! The final debate airs next week, but you can watch it all right now (including the "Pissy Zone" post-show) by supporting MinnMax at the $10 Backstage Pass tier. All of the links are in the #backstage-pass channel in the Discord. https://www.patreon.com/minnmax
