Mixtape has caused quite the discourse on the internet. Some people enjoyed it, while others have been loud about how much it sucks, is an “industry plant” of a video game, has little actual gameplay, amongst other things.
IGN gave it a perfect 10 out of 10, which some people are upset about and don’t agree with.
The game has been divisive to say the least.
Mixtape is absolutely TERRIBLE. It isn’t even a video game. It literally plays itself. Do NOT buy. pic.twitter.com/SADzFs433r

Mixtape is a game made by someone who didn’t have friends who really wished they had friends and made this game on what they thought a friend group was like https://t.co/zN8q7di3Cb

After 2 hours and 20 minutes, I finished Mixtape and I fucking hated it. Thanks.
And I’m using the term “game” extremely loosely here, because this is barely a game and honestly shouldn’t even qualify as one. You can feel that the people behind it are 40-year-olds still coping… pic.twitter.com/mCbrXgUxp5

Mixtape is a lovely coming of age story, it just never convinced me it needed to be a videogame.https://t.co/CtDzd7IClepcgamer pcgaming mixtape pic.twitter.com/VaFAvDhjEK

The mixtape discourse is proof that some gamers are absolutely miserable.
