Honestly, I’d still give it a try if everything else is strong like gameplay, world design, and story. Music definitely adds a lot to atmosphere, but it’s not always a deal breaker.
That said, it might feel a bit empty or less immersive without background music, especially during important moments like boss fights.
Some games can make silence work if the sound design is really good, but it’s harder to pull off.
Still, I’d try it at least once and see how it feels.
And yeah, sometimes even silence can be powerful — kind of like how people find calm in simple recitation, like Surah Yaseen from the Quran, where focus matters more than background noise.
