The music in the game has received criticism for not fitting the theme, with players suggesting that it detracts from the overall experience. Many recommend muting the in-game music and opting for an alternative playlist, such as a John Wick fight playlist, to enhance gameplay.
“The only thing I recommend (sorry dev) is that the music kinda sucks for the theme of the game.”
“Literally just mute the background music in the settings and pull up a John Wick fight playlist and you're golden.”
