@MichaelDoesLife It's not really surprising that the game made for the modern audience is a game that plays itself.

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 with being bullied in high school by living vicariously through these characters.
It’s basically one of those interactive movies you’d get in a cereal box and “play” with your TV remote. The “gameplay” mostly consists of pushing the left stick forward or holding W. That’s it. There are QTEs, except they’re not quick, not timed, and barely even events. They’re just random optional button prompts thrown in to make it feel more “gamey” than it actually is.
And the writing is fucking abysmal. Not because the characters are teens and therefore inherently cringe, but because you can tell it’s written by middle-aged people cosplaying as teenagers who think being obnoxious and a public nuisance is somehow “rad.”
I’d say it was painful to play, but that would imply I actually played something. It was painful to watch. This should’ve been a low-budget animated movie five people watched once on a streaming service and immediately forgot about.
“10s across the board” and “GOTY,” my ass. If you genuinely think this thing belongs in the same category as actual games, you’re delusional. You probably also think CoComelon is peak entertainment.
The only redeeming quality is the soundtrack, and that’s because 99% of the music was made by actual talented artists and bands instead of the people responsible for this disaster.
The writing sucked. The animation sucked. The story barely made sense. The characters were insufferable, and I didn’t care about a single one of them, except Slater, because he’s literally just my fiancé.

To outsiders who don't pay much attention to the sheer fucking absurdity that is 2026 games journalism™, it might seem like people are overreacting to the Mixtape situation. Listen, I COMPLETELY understand if you feel that way.
But no, listen carefully. We've been saying for YEARS that game journalists are posers who despise this hobby. Mixtape is absolute proof of that.
This is a billionaire nepo project that is 3 hours long and that you don't even really "play." It was immediately astroturfed to fuck and back, called "one of the games of the generation," couldn't even bother to add a fail state or something known as "gameplay systems," includes the most quirk-ass possible millennial-hipster writing and teenagers tonguing, all presented alongside the lie that it's an "indie project."
There has never been a more direct example of everything wrong with games journalism, and that's saying a lot because they gave Veilguard a 9 out of 10 while games like Black Myth Wukong and Crimson Desert are 6's & 7's. "Mixtape" is being hailed as a masterpiece and given 10's across the board while its billionaire publisher lines their pockets with cute lootboxes filled with custom gadgets and CD players.
There is one reason, and one reason alone that they like it... and that's because it didn't "waste their time" by making them do something they loathe: playing a video game.
