Mixtape Review Thread (Potential Reddit's Game of The Year)

I can't find anything woke about it. It actually seems kinda nice. Unlike Bloom and Rage it's not trying to hit you over the head with Message, and clearly a lot more sincere love went into this game.
Only thing is it's barely a game.
Who do the devs or publishers know lol. Usually the big sites wouldn't give a game like this the time of day, nevermind making it the top rated game of the year.
Weird, but that's how games journalism works I guess. Hard to be too annoyed at the devs.
Also if it does turn out to be pushing a Message, at least us millenials aren't to blame
, despite the date this game is clearly really set before my time. Extremely Gen X.

Our inquisitors are overzealous. Overzelly Nellys.
What's crazy to me is this thread has identified a woke artstyle. This game isn't even woke but the artstyle is so engrained in our brains as woke we can't see thru it. Bisexual lighting, meet bisexual artstyle.

Looks dumb AF. Like it's another game that wants to be a movie and I'm not even gonna talk about the main characters lol.

can't blame people for noticing patterns and being weary of this shit.

I'm actually interested in the game though.

Who are you kidding? You have a half dozen posts in this thread, not one is actually about the game. And it's the same in every one of these threads. A handful of you come into these threads, get up on your soapbox and wag your fingers at the rest us, pretending to be above it all, but you're literally attracted to them like flies on shit.
This is literally you, and it's hilarious you can't see it. You're every bit as addicted, every bit as engaged, and you routinely post every bit as much about this stuff, or more, than any other "culture war" addict on this site.The culture war addiction is real.
People are.....
To be honest i wasn't thinking about those games at all. Vampire Survivors is not an arcade game and is completely trash in my opinion, i think that's why it got rewards too. But whatever i was just venting about reviewers i won't elaborate any further.

Was there news about the studio being on the verge of closure before this or something?
Reviewers seem to give a little "help" to games from studios like that.
Or maybe it's just that good, but I doubt this is anywhere near Clair Obscur good.

He's one of them. Everything is woke, apparently.

I don't really have a problem with the game or the devs, people can make whatever they want I don't care, but yeah 100% about the second part lol. Licensing this much well known music for a 2.5 hour movie game when you're not a well known developer? More importantly for the reviews though, they probably know people.woke or non-woke, this looks like a presumptuous "game" made by someone who smells his own farts
by the looks of the bands and the high reviews, they had a lot of money to spare

Just played 30mins and nothing negative to say about it
Protagonist is rocking a pair of koss porta pro's, so what's not to like.

This game will inevitably get delisted.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Apparently the game doesn't have a 'streamer' mode so it's probably not gonna get a lot of traction on twitch, due to licensing.

Game isn't doing too hot on steam. Hopefully it is making money via gamepass. Seems like the perfect gamepass game for those that subscribe.

If it even has streamer mode, what would be the point of watching when there is barely any gameplay?
I've seen the playthrough and feels like 95% of it is cinematic with 5% walking around finding stuff.
Worst "10" rating since Polygon "10"'s Gone Home.

Oh I don't think that would really matter. Millions of people sat patiently watching thots in bath tubs too, remember?

It's obviously appealing to people who miss their teen years, those who watch Stranger Things, listen to Nirvana and play FF15 "band of brothers". I think most of the reviewers are old enough to have lost a friend whom they have shared time while child or teen by now so it doesn't surprise it resonates with them.

Definitely looks like the awkward coming of age slop redditors would love, and I think this stuff directly speaks to the kind of people who review video games at these sites too.
Hard for me to even trust if people say this is good, because I've heard the same about Life is Strange, and I spent money on those games only to think the stories were self-absorbed cringe trash.

Same. I watched the first 20 min and the last 20 min and skipped around a bit in between and nothing stood out
This. Why bother putting it in game format if you don't use the medium.
The worst part is the story and dialogue seemed weak to me, so I can't fathom why this is well reviewed. It it was a movie or TV show it would have middling reviews.

well, i'm not sure, but then again, it sorta depends on how many times you're thinking you might wanna replay it down the road, eh?...
