Mixtape is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that you revel in with every second of your first playthrough. However, if you’re worried about the game’s length justifying the price tag, we’ve got you covered with details on its total hours and more.
The current gaming economy can be a tough one. AAA games are getting up to $100! Mixtape is not $100, but a lovingly crafted adventure full of joy. This could be for naught if people are put off by its length. Whether you want a short game or something longer, you should get all the answers you seek from this quick guide.
If you missed it, check out Insider Gaming’s full review of Mixtape!

One thing mentioned in the review was the game’s length, which might be divisive:
‘Mixtape takes roughly three hours to complete.’
This is just your standard playthrough, not chasing trophies or achievements, and just lapping up every second of the story that Beethoven & Dinosaur has crafted.
Your experience with the odd mini-game might differ, and something might not click as it would with someone else, but ultimately, a roughly three-hour runtime awaits in Mixtape.
Mixtape is $19.99. So it certainly won’t break the bank.
How Long Is A Mixtape Completionist Run?
For completionist runs where you’re looking to do everything, Mixtape’s game length is extended slightly to a three-to-five-hour window.
Outside of completing the main story, if you don’t have a guide, you might have trouble knowing how to make Slater’s Secret Slushy in Mixtape for the Grunge Metal Alchemist Trophy.

This is just one example of the things you’ll need to go out of your way to complete. Getting closer to five hours might be a bit generous, and if you want to see and do everything, we have it on good authority from Ruan that about 4 hours, maybe a bit more, is the benchmark.
If you do end up purchasing Mixtape, you will enjoy yourself, of that you can be certain. As for its length, where do you stand on this? Can games be beautiful and brilliant in bite-sized form? Or should it be longer for $19.99? If you have an opinion, why not discuss it with the Insider Gaming Discord community?
