Reviewers highlight the energetic and punk-inspired tracks, noting their ability to enhance the gameplay experience, although some suggest that a few songs may take time to appreciate and that the soundtrack could benefit from additional tracks. However, there are a few dissenting opinions, with some players finding certain songs grating and preferring to mute the in-game music in favor of classic alternatives.
