52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
That said, the sound quality and gameplay this game offers is extremely high, just try the "Test" level on the main menu (which is a Portal reference) and you'll see what I mean.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
