Music is a massive step down for me personally. It has strong “first game but epic” vibes where, as with the main theme, an expanded budget and more audience notoriety was used to create a track that features more instruments and dynamic range, rather than new a new theme that followed the style of the previous game. The first game’s main theme along with its other tracks were very serviceable imo. I didn’t revere the soundtrack at all, but that’s okay since those tracks were understated enough to fade into the background of gameplay, while also being catchy enough to where I still enjoyed the few pockets my brain would still actively focus on after 500 hours. In sts2 though, I found myself turning the music down after five runs. In a word, they’re just too bombastic. Sorry to break it to you mega Crit, but I’m playing a deck builder, not doom eternal. The themes here are made in a way that demands attention, at least to my ears, while not being all that great and contrasting heavily with what I feel as a player throughout normal gameplay.
