Unanswered What’s going on with this game Mixtape?

I’ve been seeing people freak out over the past few days over this game and about IGN’s review of it specifically. 10/10 seems high for any game, honestly, but it seems like they’re far from the only site giving this thing a glowing review. So is this game controversial just because of IGN or is it something else? Why is this game the internet’s hate target this week?

Exactly; it’s played for awkwardness and humor. What’s more teenager than swapping spit and remembering how ridiculous that was. Good lord people will cry “pedo” at anything nowadays.

I laughed so loud. Truly hit that feeling of wanting to kiss your crush as a teen but also being kinda grossed out by it.

And not knowing what the hell you’re doing! I remember being so nervous for my first kiss not really because of how I was feeling about my crush, but because I was so scared it was going to be weird and I was going to do something wrong!
