The music aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing a desire for a greater variety and quality in the song selection. While some enjoy the existing tracks and appreciate the ability to add custom songs, others find the built-in music to be lackluster or annoying, leading some to opt for their own playlists. Overall, the potential for improvement is noted, particularly with the hope that future updates will enhance the music library and gameplay experience.

The user mentions that while playing on the Quest 2, the story's execution may be affected by the headset's outward cameras, but overall, the game runs smoothly when streamed via Virtual Desktop or Airlink. However, there is no specific feedback on the narrative itself.
