Mixtape

好爱这种讲故事的氛围

[i]Mixtape[/i] is something special -- a refreshing experience that demonstrates why games can be such a powerful storytelling medium. It captures the joy, melancholy, and nostalgia of the final days of youth in a way that feels surprisingly relatable, even though my own teenage years took place about a decade after the game’s setting. In terms of gameplay, [i]Mixtape[/i] is essentially a walking simulator interspersed with frequent minigames. The minigames are simple and require very little player input. You could probably go for all the Steam achievements if you’re looking for a bit of extra challenge, but that doesn’t really feel like the point of the game. The story is linear and convincingly told from the perspective of Stacey Rockford. I did find myself wondering whether the game might have benefited from more player agency, branching paths, or more interactive dialogue. It would certainly have made the game more replayable. Then again, this isn’t [i]your[/i] story -- it’s Stacey’s. You’re here to enjoy the ride, the visuals, the writing, and the mixtape she has carefully put together for one unforgettable day. If I could change one thing, it would be the final section. The game spends so much time building toward its climax that the payoff feels a little too brief. I would have loved to see that final sequence expanded. Even so, the story still reaches a satisfying and well-earned conclusion.

My jaw is clenched tight, my head feels heavy, and my eyes are burning a bit. If that's what the devs were going for, they absolutely nailed it. Thanks.

В свои 38 хотелось бы увидеть эту игру 20 лет назад -- возможно, ещё больше бы кайфанул с неё :) Геймплея тут минимум, он минималистичен и приятен. Мой вам совет: не проходите игру залпом. Мы с женой растянули аж на три вечера (и вообще не спеша проходили). Иначе есть риск, что начнёте форсить прохождение, игнорируя различные детали окружения (а разработчики с дизайнерами ох как старались!). Ну и да: не пытайтесь насильно решать за ваших детей их будущее :D

More like steering a movie than playing a game, and that's fine by me. Don't overthink it, just enjoy what's there. The art is gorgeous and the soundtrack ties it all together. Play it with headphones.

Esse jogo foi um impacto para mim, e não digo isso de forma ruim. Sua jogabilidade, ambientação, absolutamente tudooo te prende do inicio ao fim. Tão incrivel que eu apagaria minha memória e jogaria novamente :( (Menos aquela cena do beijo, essa eu não jogaria novamente nem fudendo).

Gioco meraviglioso...un tuffo nel passato, quando tutto era più bello, quando bastava una musicassetta a renderci felici, una VHS affittata da Blockbuster. Consigliatissimo. 10+

Great
