      The music is bang average, when you compare it to a game like Final Fantasy 16. The soundtrack in Diablo 4 was my biggest criticism. Brilliant game, let down by a mediocre soundtrack. I was expecting something along the lines of Ave Satani by Gerry Goldsmith for boss fights during the campaign. There wasn't any memorable boss fight music throughout the whole campaign, a lot of the music in the game is quite frankly grating.
