something i don't hear talked about as much as, say, gameplay or graphics, when the subject of videogames is brought up, is the music that gives the game its personality! honestly, besides graphics (haha art bias) it's the biggest factor of being immersed into a game, with, of course, writing, following right behind.
so what makes a music track great in my book?
well...it has to reflect the tone of the situation or the game itself, like a rock focused soundtrack in a post-apocalyptic setting, or a catchy, happy soundtrack in a mario game. aside from that, the song itself has to be well made, with natural-sounding melodies and instruments that go well together. that one is just a given.
so what are my favourite tracks in gaming? well...
(prepare for a lot of shin megami tensei)
garuda/last decision - shin megami tensei: devil survivor overclocked
normal battle (refine version) - megami ibonroku persona X persona 5 scramble
in the final - mario and luigi; bowser's inside story
divine bloodlines - castlevania: rondo of blood X super smash bros ultimate
city trial - kirby air ride
boss battle - shin megami tensei: nocturne
CROWNED - kirby's return to dreamland
techno hill act 1 - sonic robo blast 2
egg rock act 2 - sonic robo blast 2
studiopolis zone act 1 - sonic mania
brand new days (yuyoyuppe remix) - persona 3; dancing in moonlight
out of time - castlevania X super smash bros ultimate
maya's theme - persona 2: innocent sin (psp remake)
those are just a few of my favourite videogame songs, so reply with some music worth a listen or two!
