while free roaming, there is total silent. no wind noise, animals, shooting on the distance or ambient music of some sort. its just your footsteps and it makes the world feel so empty and its a shame.

dont get me wrong the game is great and when you are on a mission and the soundtrack kicks in its great. but free roaming is so weird. something definitely feels like its missing sound-wise.

just my small rant on the game, otherwise its really fun just as the first one.

What platform are you on? If you are on PC, I've seen users reporting that turning of Dolby Atmos or other 3rd party audio config software like Logitech's will solve this.

There should be ambient sound aplenty :)

Hello! The issue here is a different one. We are not talking about complete lack of sound or audio bugs, no. Point is - when you are just walking outside in freerom, there is no ambience sound at all. No wind howling, no passive sounds in the distance. Only sound of your own footsteps.
