music
172 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some praising its catchy and upbeat nature while others criticize it for being repetitive and less impactful compared to previous entries in the series. Many players noted a disconnect between the gameplay and the music, with actions often not syncing well with the soundtrack, which detracts from the overall rhythm experience. Overall, while some tracks are highlighted as enjoyable, the consensus suggests that the music does not reach the heights of earlier titles in the franchise.
“The music is amazing, the gameplay is still fun despite the challenges, and the level design is still entertaining.”
“I could just about play this game exclusively for the amazing soundtrack, let alone the way it seamlessly weaves into the gameplay.”
“It's just a blast to play, and the music is the highlight for me.”
“The music is also lackluster - I enjoy Spookyland's soundtracks and visuals, much like I enjoyed the Supernature from Runner 2, but the majority of the OST doesn't give that hype that the previous two games had.”
“It's genuinely bewildering how bad the music is, and each world only gets like three tracks to share across its many, many levels.”
“To start with, your actions in the level only seem to sync with the music about half of the time, and the music (bar a few tracks) is just not as good.”
