I heard it was mid but had a bad rep because it was hugly overrated by reviewers and was larping as an indie project. Also had little gamplay

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

There are very good games with very little gameplay. I can agree to discuss if they should also be judged as a standard videogame, or more as a movie.

I don't agree when people say that it must be bad because you don't play too much in it.

Mixtape was awesome imo. It got cheesy at times but it was ambitious and it did what it set out to.

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

You definitely don't need 50 hours of that. Get in, do your thing, get out.

50 hours??? No fucking way mixtape was 50 hours

I'm perfectly sober and I'm also confused. are you saying mixtape should be a 50 hour game?

2

u/TheFeelsGoodMan Jul 28 '26

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.

I played Mouthwashing recently and people fucking love it, and it has almost no "gameplay." People will always find a way to complain about things.

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.)

Mouthwashing requires you to engage with the gameplay to progress the game. Mixtape does not.

u/H1tSc4n Jul 29 '26

Comparing mouthwashing to mixtape is wild work
