The music in "Perfection" is described as soothing and decent, enhancing the relaxing experience of the puzzle game. However, it is criticized for being too loud without volume control, and some players feel it lacks uniqueness, as similar music is readily available on platforms like Spotify.

- “Great game to just sit down, listen to some music, and relax!”

Players find the grinding aspect to be tedious and frustrating, as it often involves a finicky process where the game inconsistently accepts shapes, requiring meticulous adjustments to achieve the desired outcome.

- “I found myself doing the same tasks over and over again, which quickly became a chore rather than an enjoyable experience.”
