Mixtape is at the center of another tedious culture war discourse, and I think I know why

So, Mixtape. In case you've been wisely keeping out of the loop, Mixtape released last week to a series of rave reviews online. I went ahead and played it, giving it a 74 in our Mixtape review (which I would like to take a moment to remind people is a good score) but it didn't connect with me in the same way as other reviewers.

Just rattling down the list, IGN gave it a 10 alongside VGC's five-star review. GameSpot gave it a nine, Nintendo Life gave it a nine—it's been critically well-received, is what I'm saying.
