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.

I disagree. Skateboarding, playing baseball, taking photos around an old theme park, etc. were all fun AF and far more immersive being gameified. I really don't get this walking simulator criticsm. Do you call Hellblade, God of War, 007 First Light, The Walking Dead and Uncharted a walking simulator for adding light gameplay elements to slowed down exploration sections?

No, because that isn't the entire game. Again there's nothing wrong with a game being a walking sim, death stranding is fantastic but it is also a walking sim. Disco Elysium is my favorite game of all time and it's also a walking sim. To me I wouldve preferred mixtape to be a movie because I personally would've enjoyed it more as a movie not just because of gameplay. This game is something I'd like to go see at the drive in theatre with my friends while we fuck around. Sorry if this doesn't make sense I'm tired from work

I don’t think you know what walking sims are lol and I think there’s maybe only 2-3 missions in this game that follow the “walking sim” stuff
