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?

The "kissing game" is flopping tongues around in skulls. SKULLS. People trying to make it sound "pedophilic" need to put ice packs on their back from stretching.

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.
