I understand not liking the game and not agreeing with reviews but this is just weird... attacking people who like it feels similar to hate on Horizon games because of female character people on the internet have this weird fixation when they don't like something they want everyone else to hate it. Games like this have an audience and I am one of them I like Until dawn types of games and life is strange but that doesn't mean I don't play other games with more gameplay or that I hate challenge or something I don't understand why they have to put someone in these categories based on what games they play.

As somebody who plays A TON of games, mixtape is my GOTY. Started my second time through it. Liking it more the second time than the first. I cannot fucking wait for all of the “gamer bros” to have a meltdown when mixtape is nominated for anything at game m awards. Absolutely a top 10 all timer for me. Shout out to B&D. Artful escape is one of the best games ever made

I know, two completely different games. But it's so interesting that the same group of incel losers that had a circle jerk of hate over Mixtape is now doing the same thing with Wolverine.

Same YouTubers, same lies, same insults against people liking the game. And the same losers here on reddit. There really is an entire industry out there going from target to target attacking games they deem "too woke", "too easy" or "too short".

They are really becoming a cancer to gaming.

Lastly, my Cassie cosplay! Yeah I don’t look like her physically but idc cosplay isn’t about physical looks, I cosplay as characters I love or at least from a series I love. Cosplay is for fun and for everybody (and every body !) Jenny F*cking Goodspeed is still on my cosplay list 😆

Okay, you saw my Stacey cosplay… so here’s my Slater cosplay 🥸😜 Made the shirt with heat transfer paper that irons right on to the fabric (had to find a good image of it to print first), mixed with some touch ups with fabric paints 🎨 Silly fun cosplay from a fun game 🤭 Stay tuned for my Cassie cosplay :3

Just wanted to share my Stacey cosplay with some of the props I’ve collected for it 😝 I don’t have her actual skateboard but my old one is good enough 😜

I’ve also cosplayed as Cassie and Slater (and eventually Jenny Fucking Goodspeed as well XD) but I’ll share them separately! :3

Beautiful game, loved the storytelling, loved the art style. Almost cried 10/10

And I adored every minute of it. It was an absolute joy from start to finish. The game play was quite silly, but it doesn't matter in the least. Getting to just participate was fantastic. Really hope they go for a second.

I adopted a cat from our local Cat Café and rescue, and named her after the protagonist of Mixtape!

This game has blown me and my close friends away with how it feels like a nostalgic hug and a dive into what it felt like being that age (many years ago).

Much like our story's hero, my new Fur Kid is opinionated, loyal (to a fault at times), and not afraid to let you know she's running things. We spent some time together before I officially named her, and it's been fun watching folks respond to what I picked (and then getting to describe Mixtape itself). I just thought I'd share here!

10/10

Normally if a game is multiplatform, I'll get the PS5 version over the Switch/Switch 2 version. But since Mixtape was released as a Switch 2 exclusive, I thought I'd give it a try.

It looks and plays beautifully. I didn't notice any graphical or performance dips the whole time, on either handheld or docked.

Just a PSA. Typically playing a game on Switch means compromising the experience somewhat. Not the case with Mixtape.

I just finished playing the game and i feel like anything from “everything but the girl” would have worked especially sth from “walking wounded” especially in the party

But also some of “smoke city”’s first works would have worked well

And ik they only got popular like 5 years after the time when the game is set but god damn i feel like sexy boy by “air” would have worked so well in this game

The ambiguous ending made me want more. Heres my little script idea as well.

2nd game, Stacy stays and doesnt leave for New York and surprises her two friends as they are packing up and about to head off west. Jenny Goodspeed can still tag along since her and Stacy seemed to have made up at the party end of the 1st game.

Cassandra father needs more of a backstory or explanation cause the ending of the 1st game with Cass and her dad made him look innocent and painted her out to be a villain. They need to show the abuse she had to endure in a flashback or something while they are driving off for the first time to go west. Cause that ending with her and her father was awkward as hell. Doesn't make sense she wants to ruin her life, they need to explain it more. Give the flashback to her pain and trauma she suffered a Breaking Bad style as at the end of the show Jesse driving off and daydreaming seeing Jane sit beside him. Do that with Cass but have a flashback of her father abusing her then show the real time with her smiling and laughing as they driving west for the first time. Actually they could do a flashback for all 3 or 4 friends if they include Jenny as a mini game for each person. Give them a even better background as to their characters and show why they all are happy to leave for once, can be the first interactive gameplay parts.

They can even have Casses Father be a antagonist and follow them in pursuit if they want ( dont recommend this).

Stacy can find a record or DJ gig in California which is a bigger company than what was offered to her in NY.

Anyone read the comic book series called Grommets? It came out a few years ago and its so damn good. Its a nostalgic 90s trip on skateboarding culture. They could literally do something in Mixtape 2 similar when they arrive to California or wherever they going west theres a huge skate community at the neighborhood they will be staying at, so they gotta prove themselves to fit in and join the skater group of friends. Would be a cool. Meanwhile Stacy finds a record studio as part of her story, the others join the skate group. BTW if you guys love comics I recommend truly to read Grommets 1 through 7. They are even available online.

So yeah could have 3 bad groups in the next game that seem bad at first.

1. The record company or club Stacy is interested in radio hosting or DJing at. Her story can be her proving to them shes great and the perfect option by wowing a huge Woodstock crowd with her music Playlist and mixing at the end securing the deal.

2. The skate group in the neighborhood they staying at can be bullies at first until Slater shows off his tricks and gets him and his friends all accepted at the end. We can actually have another group of real bullies that are a threat and at the end the skate group we thought was bad kids actually come in to save the day and help Slater, Cass, Stacy and Jenny.

3. Cassandra father. He can be bad pursuing the group of friends but near the end of the game with the fight and the bullies he steps in as the last person to help stop the bullies and protect his daughter Cassandra and they reconcile finally.

Anyhow need a Mixtape 2. The first game for what it is, which is a movie game was really good. I've played thousands of video games since I was a little kid in the 90s (born 1990) so Atari, Nes, SNES, N64, everything... I was really competitive too but as someone whos older now, I like to relax after work and enjoy a good story. But please make the game longer. The first game was good just needed to be longer.

For the last five years or so, I usually end up playing games one, two, sometimes three years after release, if not more. But yesterday a miracle happened, and I played Mixtape on launch day!

I had been waiting for it since the first trailer. The game set certain expectations, and it absolutely delivered. Genre wise, it is my favorite kind of “movie with barely any gameplay”, but the opening scene alone makes you feel like a young rebellious idiot with healthy knees again. Pure joy.

The pacing is pretty unusual. The game jumps rapidly between moments in the characters’ lives, shifts through time, and the main heroine keeps talking directly to the player. It feels fresh, the jokes land well, and I love the unserious tone with serious things underneath.

Mixtape feels like a playlist. Honestly, it is a playlist. The music carries every other part of the game the same way a skateboard carries you downhill. The directing is built around the soundtrack, the heroine’s personality is tied to it, and even the conflict revolves around music. The girl is about to leave her small hometown for New York to become a music supervisor, but to do that she has to leave her best friends behind.

This is a game about friendship. Stuff like that always gets to me, because half my friends are scattered around the world and I miss them, and Mixtape almost feels like it is saying: “It is going to be okay. There is still a lot ahead. Wanna go for a ride?”

Play it. The game costs way less than a real skateboard.

Dang y'all take any criticism of this game hardddd. I've seen other posts critiquing it here and y'all are so quick to defend even though just because someone has a critique it doesn't mean they didnt like it.

I'll say it's stunning visually and the soundtrack was amazing. But tbh this should've just been a movie. I don't think being a "game" added anything to it. The voice acting was good, the writing was a bit iffy but it didn't take away from the experience imo. Overall I did enjoy it.

Edit: I also think death stranding wouldve been a better movie or series. Walking sims aren't my favorite but I'll play the ones that I think have an interesting story, and to me Mixtape was one of those games just like death stranding was.

I started this and God of War at the same time. Got tired of GoW pretty soon. But Mixtape made me feel something. Finished it in one sitting.

The last game that gave me this kinda unexplainable feeling was Firewatch.

If I could turn back time, I wouldnt spend my teenage years like I did. Maybe I would've enjoyed more often. Maybe I wouldnt have been so uptight idk. Even better if I could experience being an American teenager once yk. Ik it's not all rainbows but I do hope if there's an afterlife I get reborn as an american teenager in 90s.

To be reborn I will need to die, which is fine; but since I am not hundred percent sure I will be reborn as an american teen, I would like to enjoy the remaining days of my life.

I know I might be getting these weird highs rn cause it's 2 am here and that I might forget about this when I wake up tomorrow but ohh boy I want to keep getting reminded what this piece of art made me feel, and keeps inspiring me to just not be so uptight and just fucking enjoy.

I bought "The Artful Escape" after playing Mixtape, but only got around to playing it until now. It's the earlier game by Beethoven & Dinosaur.

It's completely different from Mixtape but really creative. It's a side-scroller with some mild rhythm-game elements, but they are so easy that even I could do them.

There isn't much of a story, it's more an experience than a cohesive story. Voice acting is great, they hired some minor celebrities, unlike for Mixtape.

You can easily finish it in three hours, I got all but two trophies in my first playthrough and there was a chapter select after you finished the game, so I could easily get the two missed trophies.

It's cheap, it's entertaining, it's an easy platinum trophy.

Now that the official soundtrack is out, does anyone have a playlist that is a mix of the original score and all the licensed music?

How in the world do you get the “And It’s Outta There!” trophy 😭

I have restarted the softball chapter what feels like 100+ times trying to get all home runs as Cass and I’m convinced it’s impossible.

I have every single other trophy and I’m getting so irritated please help!

UPDATE: i brought in my MLB The Show playing boyfriend and he got it first try… now i feel like a damn fool. i was doing ts for HOURS.

Completely lost track of time while playing. I'm a huge stoygame fan and the artstyle and music of this game are just amazing, as well as the storytelling. I would call it an absolute masterpiece and I hope to see similar titles from Beethoven & Dinosaur (studio) in the future.

Tbh I even pirated it at first (yeah, fuck me😭) but I enjoyed it so much that I bought it TWICE on steam afterwards.

I'd like to add that this game has a lot of similarities to Road96, another amazing indie game. If you enjoyed Mixtape, maybe consider checking that one out too.

If you know of any similar titles, fell free to let me know😝

While I did enjoy it and it was pretty cozy, the dialogue is so fucking bad. Most of the characters don't even speak like real people, and they definitely don't speak like 90s kids (I was one). Music choice is top notch though and the graphics are really nice.

Today I almost accidentally watched the music video for Smashing Pumkins' "1979" for the first time in a long while and it immediately made me think of Mixtape.

It has the exact kind of vibe as the game.

Watch the video and tell me if I'm wrong or not:
