I was not old enough to play life is strange. I was not born to experience the 80s. I had not played a game which made feel a feeling that I had never felt before playing any video game that touched my core, and made me realise that my young adult years are running out and I have to do what I can to make most of it while it last, while being carefree and enjoying the tunes of music long past. Tonight, I played just that game.
All the cushiest nostalgic vibes of Life Is Strange and Lost Records with a banging soundtrack and likeable characters. Gameplay is varied and switches up wonderfully. At one point you're hanging out in the quintessential 90s teenager den and the next you're going downhill full speed in a shopping cart. The game is a vibe of the highest caliber.
[h1] Mixtape Hit Harder Than I Expected [/h1] I went into Mixtape expecting a chill narrative game and ended up getting something way more emotional than I thought. The whole road trip, late night hanging out with friends, music blasting in the background vibe feels incredibly real. There were multiple moments that genuinely reminded me of being younger and not worrying so much about life. The soundtrack carries so much of that feeling too, and the way the game mixes music with the visuals makes certain scenes stick in your head long after you stop playing. What I really liked is how natural everything feels. The conversations, the awkward moments, the stupid fun stuff you do with friends before life starts pulling everyone in different directions. It never feels forced. It just feels human. I also played a lot of it on the Steam Deck and it honestly feels perfect there. Smooth performance, no issues, and the atmosphere hits even harder late at night with headphones on. Definitely worth buying if you enjoy story driven games with strong atmosphere and music. This one stayed on my mind after I finished playing, and not many games manage to do that anymore. [h3] Some Games Feel Personal, Worth buying!
