Typical Simon Cardy of IGN giving a "coming-of-age" game like Mixtape a 10.

He changed his profile picture after everyone found out he looks like a soy-farting soyboy Frenchie.

Game journos handing out perfect scores to games with barely any gameplay, the jokes really write themselves.
 
Mixtape looks awful, between a videogame biting on the now overdone animation style of the Spider-verse animated films that people will probably keep reusing into the next decade and all of the people claiming it's a John Hughes film-style "coming of age" story but from the sound of it it's more like what if Gen Z'ers who never saw a 1980s "coming of age" film tried to ape the style after having one described to them, by someone else who was at best only vaguely familiar with them.
 
A three hour long tumblr movie where you do fuck all sounds like the perfect "game" for journos. So of course it get a very natural scoring, completely organic, not biased at all.

The interactive kissing minigame, must be what gave Mixtape all the 9 and 10s.

I can't tell you how much I fucking HATE that faux stop motion animation shit. They don't do anything clever with it.

I have the opposite problem. So many shows feel the need to awkwardly overanimate everything with tweens when snapping between a few key poses at a lower framerate would've been much more pleasing to the eye (and less effort!).
Maybe this is just my video game fried brain but I can't be alone here.
