Okay, I'll write an updated preview and send it to Infinitron.

I really, really want to do a proper "stealth guy" playthrough now, but unfortunately, even the best cRPGs are "ablative"... each playthrough diminishes the enjoyment of the next, until you tire of the game, either permanently or for a period of years. It's better to hold off until release.
Still, Underrail is one of only a very few games that I've wanted to replay immediately after finishing it. It's sort of like the phenomenon in which when you've finished eating a huge meal, you've become so full that the very sight or thought of food is nauseating... yet some foods are so delicious, you might still want to cram a few bites in, despite being stuffed.

Ugh, that's so generic and uninspired and nothing like the other tracks in the game. Sure, they are pretty simple, minimalistic even, but they're also quiet, a bit drawn out and eery. Which was cool and suited the atmosphere of the game perfectly - Underrail is an extremely eery place. The best was probably that Azuridae theme (which always sounded near the Psyshrooms).
While this is... It took me a couple of sits to listen to the entire track because it's just so-o-o mindnumbingly boring. And those pseudo-piano accords near the end are especially insulting because, once again, they're just way, way too generic. Woooh, let's add an epic touch! And the rhythm is obviously faster than the other tracks (but I guess you'll just scrap them altogether) and the atmosphere is more "serious". Yuck.
I guess your average listener won't care at all, but for an ambient connoisseur that is incredibly disappointing. Well, at least I have my collection so I'll just play with the music turned of, not the biggest problem ever.
