Then you might be correct in this being a publisher thing.

Hmm is this different than having an explicit and non-explicit version of a song? Most of the time Spotify actually puts the non-explicit versions in their Release Radar/Discover Weekly playlists. At least for me.

They censor songs?

I had to ‘fight’ at the beginning as well, but after eventually progressing and ultimately finishing the game I can tell you it was one if the, if not THE best experience I’ve ever had. To this day certain parts soundtrack of the soundtrack make me tear up when I listen to them.

That being said you really need to want to understand the game in order to complete it. I don’t think it’s a mindless experience that you can just have on while watching something else on a second monitor. If that sounds like a game that you might like I absolutely recommend sticking with it!
