The music in the game has received high praise for its fantastic soundtrack that complements the ambitious artwork and gameplay, creating an engaging atmosphere. While the initial number of tracks is somewhat limited, recent updates have added more music collectibles, enhancing the overall experience. Players appreciate the blend of indie music and the game's vibrant style, with many hoping for additional content in the future to further enrich the musical offerings.
“Fantastic combination and a fantastic soundtrack.”
“I'm not a huge fan of the music on its own, but when it's put alongside the super ambitious artwork of this game, it blends so nicely.”
“Tacopocalypse is a mechanical blast from the past featuring tricks and scoring from Tony Hawk's, the delivery aspect of Crazy Taxi, and the car mechanics of Rocket League... but let's not forget that incredible soundtrack.”
“Unfortunately, the limited number of maps does limit the replay value a bit and there are some odd bugs and glitches here and there (getting stuck on a black screen, the music glitches out sometimes) but none of these problems are issues that couldn't be rectified with a patch or two.”
“The credits list 15 songs which isn't a bad number, but hopefully more will be added along with cars & maps in the future.”
“Hopefully, the developer's plans to add more content post-launch get realized because this recommendation only gets stronger as more maps, cars & music get added.”

The story revolves around a taco delivery mission, but players find that the primary enjoyment comes from exploring the environment and achieving high-flying feats rather than engaging with a well-developed narrative. The storyline feels arbitrary, with more emphasis placed on the game's design than on a structured progression.
“The mission to deliver tacos is just a backdrop; the real joy lies in soaring as far and as high as possible.”
“Upon further reflection, it appears that the majority of the effort has been invested in crafting the environment, rather than developing a conventional storyline, leaving progression open-ended.”
“However, when I ponder it further, it seems like the bulk of the thought has gone into designing the environment, rather than developing a coherent storyline, leaving progression feeling arbitrary.”

“The lack of diverse gameplay options makes it hard to find reasons to replay the game after finishing it once.”
“Once you've completed the main story, there's little incentive to dive back in, as the side quests feel repetitive and uninspired.”
