I really liked the sound of this soundtrack early on. The orchestral/electronic blend works really well, the instrumentation is consistently interesting, and there’s enough variety between tracks that it still feels like one world. I also liked the bard noodling because it felt diegetic and added some character to the setting rather than just being another score cue.
Where you lost me a little was around track 6, when it starts leaning much more into folk and lullaby territory. The songs themselves are well done and sound good, but to me it felt like a pretty sudden stylistic shift from what had been established before. By the final track especially, I almost felt like I was listening to the ending of a different game than the one that opened with that beautiful orchestral main title.
I do think there’s a story here, but I could’ve used a little more context to understand what kind of world I was inhabiting and what caused that shift. Still, there’s a lot of really strong music here, and I loved the sound palette throughout. Really well done
