Reviewers noted a lack of a rewarding system for music, such as the previous Hoyle bucks system that allowed players to earn in-game currency to purchase music and other customization options. This absence has left some players disappointed, as it diminishes the overall experience.
“I liked the Hoyle Bucks system where you earned 'money' in the game that you could use to buy music, backgrounds, cards, face creator options, etc. None of that is here.”
“The music is repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“I found the soundtrack to be uninspired and forgettable, which really detracted from the overall experience.”
