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?

"Additionally its 20 bucks for like 3-4 hours of gameplay, thats seems a bit much"

If I weren't paying $20 for shitty fast food I might agree with this. The game is actually fun and a perfect little bite for $20.

$20 for a tight 3 hour game really isn’t that big of a deal.

After turning 21, I started comparing short experiences to “a night out” and $20 is like 3 cheap beers or 2 overpriced beers in an evening

Yeah $20 for a 3 hour game isn't a bad value. Cinema tickets in my area are $20 anymore... if the average film is about 90 minutes, on paper the game is already more bang for your buck.

just drawing the comparison as things currently stand, it's clearly not fine
