I don't buy it. I'm sorry but I know shit when I play it.

And the player numbers still don't make sense. If you want to compare to a game from the same publisher that was actually good, look at "What Remains of Edith Finch". Released a decade ago, again 4x Mixtapes's player count, roughly the same length, but somehow no 20 video game magazines falling over themselves to give it 10/10 ratings.

You can slap as many 10/10 ratings and astroturfed reviews on it as you want, but I've played too many of these games to not recognize this as below average in its weight class.

The only way you can enjoy that game is if you haven't been spoiled by better titles yet - because you've probably not played many titles like it, or maybe not played many video games at all. I'm sure if it's one of the only video games you've ever played, that fact alone would've made it somewhat exciting.

I'm sure there's literally dozens of people who actually enjoyed it, and good for them, but we need to have some standards if we're to have any at all. And "well someone out there ought to like it" is not an argument.

If this game is truly one of the best games of all time - as reviews would have you believe - then we need to recalibrate the scale, otherwise I wouldn't know where to put well-known classics like "FROGGY HATES SNOW" or "Buggos 2"
