The music in Playground consists of only two repetitive tracks, which many players find annoying over time, especially with the added sound effects like cheers and honks. While some appreciate the music as initially enjoyable, the lack of variety and options leads most to recommend muting it and playing their own soundtrack instead. Overall, the music is seen as a detriment to the experience, with players often opting to disable it entirely.

- “The simplicity of this one is even better than Medieval, but the lack of story and humor elements from Medieval leaves a bit of a bad taste.”
