Anyone who games a lot will probably know that it's a fairly rare experience to play a whole game through in one sitting. There are a bunch of reasons for that, too – not least because few games are short enough to make it remotely possible. That said, even a short game still needs to be compelling enough to make you stick with it for a few hours.
Compelling is exactly the word I'd use to describe Mixtape, which launched a few weeks ago to really strong reviews, and caused a stir among internet weirdos who somehow disbelieved those scores. I played the game through in one go a couple of weeks ago on a holiday, and after a busy Computex 2026 in Taipei I'm only just getting around to reflecting on it.
