60 of 111 · most liked firstThe only discourse on Mixtape that's interesting is seeing how asymmetrical the conflict between press & influencers plays out - many influencers individually take shots at "the press" for clickbait & to solidify their own commercial relevance - while the press writes critique about the actual game.
unlabelledView post →fucking fascinated at the weird reactions to new game release Mixtape because aside from the obvious and usual rage farming there is also this heavy generational element where people are bouncing off it because it depicts an era they never experienced and have no connection to
unlabelledView post →I am getting back in the swing after a very busy year (so far) that has stolen a lot of my writing time, and for some reason I played all of MIXTAPE today and then wrote 2500 words about in a flurry. I didn't care for the game, but it's beyond the music to me. ckunzelman.com/2026/05/10/o...
unlabelledView post →Sometimes seeing things as a dev and not a player can ruin your perspective. For example I look at a lot of the Mixtape coverage and think ‘the game was built around the songs that could be prized from the record labels without bankrupting the project, and everything else came after’
unlabelledView post →Sadly, if it wasn't Mixtape, it would be another game attracting the same ire, because the whole right-wing outrage bait economy has this boom/bust cycle that you can't help see the pattern: Game they like does well? "we're so back!" Game they don't like does well? "it's so over..."
unlabelledView post →Mixtape was a really sweet game. Very good at telling its story through presentation and some of the craziest visuals I've seen on Switch 2. Made me sad not to be a teenager anymore and miss all my friends Go online and everyone's obsessively negative about it

unlabelledView post →thisgamefuckingrules I love this game, my god it was a perfect flashback to being a kid in the 90s. Or at least how I remember it…. 😎🤙 What a way to start #playdays #mixtape
unlabelledView post →the teen experience Mixtape imagines isn't a universal one. for example, there's nobody in the game who spends 600 hours in Alterac Valley
unlabelledView post →The discourse around Mixtape is really something. It's like "if a game receives a good score and it wasn't made for my personal tastes, CLEARLY something is amiss!" Game doesn't look like it's made for my personal tastes, either, but it looks crazy fun. If I were a millennial, I'd be all over it.

unlabelledView post →💿Mixtape is the best narrative experience I've played this year. A mixtape, one night, and 3 teenagers in 90's Northern California all wrapped it in a pitch perfect soundtrack that beat for beat nails it. On Gamepass. P.S. If your only metric for a game is hours per dollar, I can't help you.
