Mixtape (2025)

Somehow this game got all the accolades that Lost Records deserved, while putting in significantly less effort. The game spends a lot of budget on soundtrack to distract from a terminal lack of compelling characterization. Everything here is surface level narcissism with absolutely nothing to say that every movie from the 80s about teenagers already said. Absolutely abysmal waste of three hours of my life.

fake reviews. this is, was absolutely terrible. refunded when i noticed there was ZERO gameplay. waste of time

I was going to give this a thumbs up for being a 6/10 game but the more I hear about the behind the scenes and how much "funding" this game got, this game isn't fair to all the wonderful indie creations out there that does much more memorable "coming of age/slice of life" games than this. To me, after hearing this and given how so many misses this game has, this is one of the few games that is just downright both disappointing and insulting in story, characters and heck, the era it's trying to depict while somehow getting permanent licensing on music that no other studios get. Go play Night In the Woods, What Remains of Edith Finch, OneShot. Heck Life is Strange does this better and that was a decade ago. I'm sorry but this game just feels like a spit in the face.
