The Best Game Music Of 2021 - The MinnMax Show
0Welcome back to The MinnMax Show! On this week's episode, Ben Hanson, Kyle Hilliard, and special guest Jacob Geller are joined by the master of music (and host of Level with Emily) Emily Reese to break down our favorite game music tracks from 2021. I'm sure we all missed some great games and music, so feel free to leave any biggies in the comments for other folks to find. Then we talk about Solar Ash and Exo One before answering 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 leaving a question! https://www.patreon.com/minnmax
