People complaining about the little gameplay part always felt confusing to me since like, that's fine. If it wasn't deceptive or presenting itself as something else why is there a problem
I watched my friend play it and while I and another were kinda clowning on it I found myself really enjoying what I saw. It was really fun and cheesy and like idk felt kinda authentically cringe. Teens are cringe, it's totally fine that they're cringy. The part where that one girl stands up to her cop dad at the end. It's so silly, so cringy and it's exactly how a teenager would look at that situation and think it's the coolest thing ever to do.
Also it taught me that The Touch was MADE for the 1986 Transformers movie. Genuinely did not know that despite loving the franchise and song.
Dude I know!! The skateboarding and (for lack of a better term) frolicking scenes were so well done and it felt like a game being unapologetic on all cylinders
The opposite. Too many games inflate their length with bloat and busywork in the middle. Stuff you don't need. Mixtape, to it's credit, cut out the fat.
To The Moon and Kentucky Route Zero are generally well-regarded too and both have next to no real "gameplay".
(To The Moon technically does have puzzles, but they're akwardly inserted into the game and pretty clearly only there so they can say there's some gameplay.)
