A cozy, laid-back, go-with-the-flow experience like a nostalgic '90s real-world version of "Journey". If you like cozy games, this one is well worth playing.
As for all the negative reviews, many seem to be blaming the game for the overwhelmingly good reviews it received in the gaming press, and that is
I’d rate this an 8.5, if I could. Great game, with excellent writing and graphics. It’s much more of a cinematic experience, the gameplay is only decent.
Absolute disgrace to the gaming industry. Cringe writing, no actual gameplay in the sense that player input is irrelevant, it has 0 impact on the game.
The worst part of it all, is the game journalists giving this exceptional ratings like this is a ground-braking game like breath of the
This is an over-priced movie where a lot of the cutscenes and "gameplay" are completely scripted. Certain sequences will look like they are gameplay, but when i left my controller, the same outcome occurred. The game is also entirely too short, and can be beat in 5 hours.
Look at
A wonderful indie title, perfect in it's delivery with a wild soundtrack to boot. While the gameplay was incredibly basic, boiling down to simple vignettes or minigames, they were simply there to break up the time between heartfelt and nicely delivered cutscenes showcasing teen life in the mid nineties. A
I loved this game! It's more of a walking Sim with some short minigames in between. I loved how it made me feel!
A feelgood interactive story game. Not much gameplay, but that is ok. Somehow the licensed soundtrack was a complete dud for me. I knew most of the bands by name, but none of the songs was on MY Playlist when I was young. But your mileage may vary.
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
