The MinnMax Show - 2022's Best Game Music
Added 2022-11-30 20:51:34 +0000 UTCWelcome back to The MinnMax Show! On this week's episode, Ben Hanson is joined by Jacob Geller and Emily Reese to break down our favorite pieces of game music from 2022. We hit the big stuff like God of War Ragnarok and Elden Ring, but also dive into the weeds on some great soundtracks from smaller games this year as well. We also share some of the community's picks submitted over on Patreon. You can find links below to the tracks we played on the podcast. Then we answer some wonderful questions from the community!

I usually listen to the podcast at 1.8x, but this is the one episode I switch back to normal speed for. I'm really used to what everyone sounds like sped up though, so it sounds super weird to hear the intro theme and everyone talking "normal".

2022-12-01 20:18:20 +0000 UTCI missed my chance to share this track, but the Port Ormos (day) theme in Genshin Impact is one of the best tracks of the year.
2022-12-01 04:58:59 +0000 UTCOne of my favorite episodes every year. Emily is so awesome! Glad to know about her YouTube channel. That place is a treasure trove.

2022-11-30 23:16:46 +0000 UTCNo Horizon Forbidden West tracks? That seems a bit of a snub. I don't like the 2nd game (which I still haven't finished) quite as much as Zero Dawn (which I'm obsessed with), but the soundtrack does absolutely slap! It has a massive 7+ hour soundtrack, but this track with vocals from the opening credits is a great shout: https://youtu.be/fjSvmzKaNBc

2022-11-30 21:47:27 +0000 UTCI haven't listened to the episode yet but the lack of a link to a Sonic Frontiers song worries me. Edit: Shoutout to Sarah for forcing Ben to acknowledge Sonic Frontiers. You a real one.

2022-11-30 21:37:35 +0000 UTCYes! One of my favorite reoccurring episodes of the year! Nobody Saves The World hype. My personal favorite is track 14 - Dreams of Somebody. Glad it’s getting the recognition it deserves. I love that freakin game!
