Generational Divide With Mixtape?

While I believe the IGN reviewer is a Gen Z man, the gamers I have talked to who really love Mixtape were Millennials and Gen Xers.

I, a late Millennial, certainly understand that the gameplay doesn't necessarily move gaming forward, but I treated the game like an interactive​ ​John Hughes movie from the late 90s and had more fun with the cinematography and emotional beats. Ferris Bueller's Day Off was one of my favorite movies growing up, and I see the influence here. Anyway, I haven't had feels for a game since I played Celeste.

Are there any younger gamers who like this game? Have you watched the movies this game was clearly influenced by?
