The hate is overblown, this is a fine story game that could of used better gameplay or narrative gaming features. Characters were mostly annoying but it slowly grew on me as I played through it.
Mixtape is the typical game that I would never think of playing, but once immersed in it, I have to admit that it has something special, the characters have captivated me, although I have to admit that its gameplay is brief, the story is an experience.
Self indulgent cringefest
I played about 1.5 hrs and got so bored by this bland game, and when the game tries to be funny, it comes out as cringe. The art's nice, but I hate the stop motion animations.
A very weak and cheesy visual novel
Very short, lackluster content, and in general a fake nostalgia bait, i lost brain cells the 3 hours that this "game" last to me.
This game is 100% vibes. As a Spanish guy in his mid 30s who has never lived in the US, skated, listened to many of the songs carefully selected in the soundtrack or been much of a rebel boy, I still found myself enchanted by it. These three teenagers are
A true masterpiece on every level. I hope they win several awards!
3 hours of underage kids either being drunk or talking about getting drunk. The story tries to paint the father as the bad guy while pretending the kids who started a forest fire while drunk and high are just being normal teens.
10/10 vibes based game and early GOTY pick
My previous 2 GOTYs are Clair Obscur and Balatro.
I love that games can span from almost no story, pure gameplay on Balatro to somewhere in the middle with CO:E33, and all the way to all story, limited gameplay with Mixtape. It’s what
This game is a musical with a great storyline about teenage issues and minimal gameplay. Personally, I’m not a big fan of musicals, so I didn’t really get into the game, but if you love musicals or music, you’ll really enjoy it. The plot is good, even though it didn’t
This "video game" has three things: Nostalgia bait; a complete lack of any meaningful game mechanics and an abyssmally short story.
I have no clue why this was made as a video game. The player themselves lack any agency or control over the story, the story itself is lacking in
A fresh, naive, and nostalgic musical adventure with a well-picked soundtrack.
I had zero expectations. I just watched the trailer and a couple of "worth playing" reviews on Threads, checked the price, and decided — why not? Well, starting from the intro section, that game just hit me. It was a
Mixtape is a massive disappointment. This isn’t even really a video game — it’s an ultra-short interactive movie (3-4 hours max) that tries way too hard to be “artistic” with its stylized visuals and 90s playlist.
The “gameplay” is just a bunch of shallow mini-games that pop up randomly and disappear
Absolutely amazing game. Great characters, wonderful story, amazing music. Just ignore the haters.
Mixtape is a 8/10 and a fun little game. Finished it in exactly 4 hours. Don't get me wrong, I'd prefer more gameplay but the story and dialogue was a 10/10 for me. I was genuinely laughing through each chapter.
Cassandra is MVP of the entire story.
You know when you wish you could f forget you watched a a certain movie or read a certain book, so you can experience it for the first time all over again? That's how I feel with Mixtape. A special game that i love dearly. See you
Not my kind of game like it was their previous title but I think it was a fun experience overall
I went into this thinking it probably wasn't a game for me, but it turns it was exactly for me and I loved it. A deeply uplifting, well-meaning and warm-hearted game where you also get to play a Baseball mini game while listening to The Touch by Stan Bush (history's
