Players express frustration with the game's sound design, noting that even with sound effects turned off, intrusive noises persist, detracting from the overall experience. This overwhelming audio environment prevents players from enjoying the music, as the loud and cheesy sound effects dominate the soundscape.
“Even if you turn off all the sound effects, you still hear all the annoying 'clicks,' 'swooshes,' and 'rattles' as you play the game. We must be able to turn all that off if we desire it, but as it stands, we have to endure it all whether we want to or not. This makes it impossible to enjoy the music while playing, as our ears get overwhelmed by the loud, cheesy sound effects.”
“The music in the game is forgettable and fails to enhance the overall experience. It feels like an afterthought rather than a core component of the gameplay.”
“The soundtrack is repetitive and lacks variety, making it difficult to stay engaged during longer play sessions.”
