5 / 10 Soundtrack (They have a lot of licenced Music in it, which was not a bad selected collection, but when it comes to the actual Soundtracks for Combat-Situations against Monsters and Enemies, that Part was not really giving much, could have been better there.) 9,5 / 10 Performance (Game was running well on high settings, only one crash I had during the entire Playthrough)
