Music has always been the part I’ve cared the least about. Out of the thousands of hours I’ve wasted on games, the only video game song I can think of out of the blue is the Mario theme song. (And Raphael’s battle song in bg3 because I just fought him; that shit was pretty cool.) It always surprises me when I see OSTs included in deluxe editions because I think, who’s going to listen to 2 hours of instrumentals from a game they played 5 years ago. To each their own I guess.
Swap music with Graphics or Story and I’m with you on most games.
IGN’s review of Starfield has zero mention of the music, same with its Fallout 4 review.
Just checked The Verge - also not mentioning the music of Starfield at all.
In my opinion, music is what turns a good game into a great game.
Eh, that’s very subjective. A ton of people (me included) mute the music and have something else in the background (with exceptions, of course).
