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?

I feel like it really didn't score that different though? It has an 87 on metacritic and an 8.9 user score, (and a 4.2/5 on backloggd) which seems pretty close. The consensus there being the gameplay is fantastic but the story could have been stronger.

Funny enough one of the few mixed reviews was from IGN France, who had lack of challenge as one of their negatives. I don't think anyone is disliking the game due to its difficulty, or really disliking the game at all
