Hollow Knight: Silksong, 007 First Light, Shinobi Rules

We'll DM you a Steam code for the great game Spilled if you support MinnMax on Patreon or upgrade your tier before Monday, September 8th. We'll post on Discord, Bluesky, and Instagram if we run out of codes. https://www.patreon.com/minnmax MinnMax's Ben Hanson, Jacob Geller, Jeff Marchiafava, and returning champion Suriel Vazquez share their early review of one of the most-anticipated games of all time: Hollow Knight: Silksong. Then we rave about SEGA's revival with Shinobi: Art of Vengeance and explain why Lumines Arise is lodged in our soul. After that the party begins with Haley MacLean, Sarah Podzorski, and Leo Vader joining the show to talk about a couple of great sim games with dark twists: Discounty and Grimshire. Then Leo explains why IO Interactive's 007 First Light is living up to his wildest Hitman fantasies and we answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week!
