I thought the soundtrack was good on it's own (I love Ben Prunty's music), but it did not fit the game.
The way the music and audio design in-general in the first game all fit together so well is what made half the experience.

And yeah...

you go down to find out what happens to your sister, then that becomes a side quest you can forget about and you fuck off with a random alien :')

Thanks for the link, I just came here to post it haha. I'm glad they are not intending to make it a GaaS, might give it a try after all.

Absolutely agree, also with the spoiler comment :D
