The game lacks a traditional music score, which some players find inconsequential, opting instead to listen to their own music or podcasts. Despite the presence of a toggle for music, many users report difficulty in finding any in-game music, suggesting it may not be a prominent feature. Overall, the absence of music does not seem to detract from the gaming experience for most players.
“One thing worth mentioning is that the game does not have music, but it really is not an issue; I typically just put a podcast or my own music on instead.”
