Perfect for Sci-fi

Some awesome sounds in here. Great for sci-fi but plenty that work outside of the genre too. The “War of the Worlds” horn is probably my favorite. My only nitpick is there's a bit too much reverb on some of the designed sounds for my taste, but overall a super solid library.

9.5/10
