There’s been a massive wave of controversy surrounding the new “indie” game Mixtape.
Mainstream critics are rushing to call it a masterpiece, handing out perfect 10/10 scores and putting it straight into the 2026 Game of the Year conversation. Meanwhile, regular players are calling it a boring walking simulator, a total ego trip, or even an “industry plant.”
But what’s the actual truth?
I went into Mixtape completely blind. I ignored the hype, skipped the trailers, and avoided every review so I could give you a completely honest and unbiased look at what’s really going on.
Does Mixtape actually deserve its glowing reviews? Is there real gameplay hidden beneath the 90s nostalgia soundtrack? Or is something a bit more underhanded happening behind the scenes with its big-money billionaire backing?
Join me as we deconstruct Mixtape’s gameplay, its incredibly unlikable characters, the mainstream media disconnect, and whether you should waste 3 hours of your life playing it on Game Pass (let alone shelling out $20 on Steam).
