The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players praising its relaxing and chill electronic and drum & bass tracks that complement the minimalist visuals and enhance the drifting experience. However, some users find the soundtrack repetitive or unremarkable, suggesting that it may not appeal to everyone, particularly those who prefer different music genres. Overall, while the soundtrack is often highlighted as a strong point, personal taste plays a significant role in how players perceive its quality.
“Pure drifting joy with great music and a very zen feeling to it - the devs knew what they had when they called it 'zen edition'.”
“Drifting through serene environments feels meditative, enhanced by the soothing soundtrack.”
“The soundtrack complements the gameplay, creating a calming atmosphere.”
“There is no other audio of note and the music genre is very niche and not palatable.”
“The music is mostly unremarkable from what I listened to, just the sort of boring house music you get in street racing games.”
“The soundtrack is just generic, uninspired chill music that is so bland the different songs just blend together and make the whole experience even more irritating.”

It's really sad that the learning curve is so massive that it acts like a wall that keeps most players from enjoying this. It's sad, because those who'll persevere, and manage to reach that 'Zen' level of razor-sharp precision, are the only ones who can really understand how exciting Absolute Drift can be. That being said, when a game is all about drifting, the fun factor won't last for long.
