Music is way too loud. Can barely hear the voice acting.
Why spend all this effort to have voice actors but then having it drown out by the music?
Voice acting seems great but I can barely hear them.
Don't get me wrong, the music is great too, but it's just too loud.
It affects the gameplay experience a LOT, and to be honest, it really knocked down my enthusiasm to play this game.
Feels like an audio slider would be so simple to add and could be done in a hotfix. Why has this not be done already?

So much this.

*literally* why has this not been fixed? It's INSANELY loud! *edit* to note, I played this on PS4 and the audio was not even an issue there.

Came here to write just this and ask for solutions. I'm ten minutes in but I don't think I can continue to be honest. The music drowns everything.

You just need to get past the starter area and it lowers down. I'm not sure why it's like this at the start of the game, but just get to the beach rather quick.. It's really not that far into the game if you don't bother looking at the random stuff as you will be back in the area many times anyway.

You can get to the beach in about 5-10 mins easy.

Other problems:
- subtitles option doesn't work
- controller has problems with menus
- needs a vsync option. The picture is very unstable on a 1050 Ti.

You will not be fine after getting to the beach. The music may go away in certain parts of the game, but it comes back. There is loud music throughout most of the game is it is really annoying.

Also, on top of that, it is hard to enjoy the game when it is stressing you out the entire time because it gives you dialogue choices, but they start fading away before you have time to think, sometimes before you can even read through them all. Then you have to choose whether you want to listen to what the other people are saying or cut them off because almost every dialogue choice you make will be in the middle of someone else talking and it will often end their dialogue.

Constantly having to make a quick choice of missing a dialogue choice from my character or miss hearing dialogue from the other characters is extremely annoying and stressful because no matter what you do, you are missing part of the game and that bothers me.

The game could have been much more enjoyable. I play games to relax and get away from stress, and this game seemed like it would be great for that, but unfortunately due to some bad design choices, this game will add more stress to your life.
