“The soundtrack and sound design are also very awesome to listen to.”
“The music, for one, is phenomenal and I think makes the entire experience for me.”
“The soundtrack is a huge part of that, if you don't want this game at least get the soundtrack.”
“The music, much like the difficulty, is a double-edged sword -- it's a nice soundtrack, but with no way to turn it off and no alternative tracks until you find more trinkets, the songs get repetitive real fast.”
“One problem is that the music track is kind of repetitive.”
“The soundtrack sucks (although I can understand why someone may like it) and it uses crappy DOS graphics which I guess a lot of games don't have but I couldn't care less.”
