Mixtape came out yesterday. It's a 2-3 hour long walking sim that features all teenage girl protagonists and preys on 90s nostalgia. It's already one of the highest rated games of the year.
Every review gushes about the licensed soundtrack, which has nothing to do with the actual game. Every review also begrudgingly admits that there is almost no gameplay in this video game.
Oh, and there are fewer than 2k people playing it on steam. Plus it runs like total ass.
Now we just need a series of coordinated articles attacking gamers and we'll be right back where we started.
The two female leads in this game look absolutely insufferable. The design was meant to be cancer for the male retina. The character types on display were never the 'cool' ones in the nineties.
There is no nostalgia, because this is historical revisionism.
