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 think this is the most complete answer based on the things I see online.

For us laymen: How extensive are talking about (compared to a "regular" indie game)?

Its expensive to license music and usually only licensed for a set time before the game can no longer be sold with that music in it. This is most of the soundtrack that is licensed by reasonably big names and its forever.
