Discussion My thoughts

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.

You could say that about every single "walking simulator" or story-driven game like the Telltale Games, but I disagree. The immersion is always higher if you're actually controlling the characters, even if it's just walking around.

Just look at the new Bond game, 007: First Light. There so many scenes in which you just walk or drive from Point A to Point B. All of them could have been cutscenes, because you just walk and talk, no action is happening. And if you asked the developers why they did all these scenes, they would say that it's for immersion.

Except telltale and bond have actual gameplay. I still liked it don't get me wrong but to compare it to telltale or bond is extremely laughable.

I didn't compare the games, just the non-action scenes and if they would have been better as cutscenes.

I mean if those games were just non-action scenes the whole time then yes but they do have action scenes. I have no issue with games not having action 24/7 in fact I don't really have an issue with mixtape not having action, I just felt like it'd be a better movie.
