In a series filled with good battle themes this was somehow able to stand out as a unique direction. Jazz! This variety is something which I think the base game needed more. Xenoblade 2: Torna the Golden Country Battle Theme Gormott Auresco Especially given the variety demonstrated in this expansion especially just how coherent with each other in order to differentiate it from the main game.Ĥ. I hope that Splatoon will carry forward this penchant. Nothing else in the industry feels like this. Splatoon remains unique in just how striking its compositions are. Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion Above Crush Shark Bytes Super Smash almost feels like it is cheating but it is so good!ģ. And the way that they take this and turn the tracks on their head for the B remixes and the differences in the levels. Rather the aesthetic so intertwined that it all comes together so well that it feels like it. The way it and the level design interact almost make it feel its a responsive soundtrack but it is not. Celeste Confronting Myself Celestial Resort (Good Karma Mix) Quiet and Falling However, I think having it as honourable mention is fair.ġ. Ultimate is cheating due to the sheer size of the soundtrack and the majority of it being from older games, and even though some of the new remixes are also excellent, I'm going to leave it out. Selection of tracks: Revolving River Gorgeous Gorge IntroĪlso, I feel like using Super Smash Bros. Wonderful retro music that could be straight out of the SNES' library of classic soundtracks. Fox N Forests - The soundtrack may be short, but what it offers is absolutely sweet. Selection of tracks: Finding Life Precipice Alterra Scienceġ0. The only shame is that they scrapped the old Jelly Shroom Cave track, and I can't even find a clip of it (there used to be one). Subnautica - Man I just love the ambience tracks of this game. Into the Breach - This soundtrack has a very good combination of nonintrusive ambience with great use of synth and guitar riffs. Selection of tracks: Here Come the Squeaks Nature's Navel Planet EarthfallĨ. Kirby music is great, so of course this will have to go onto my list! Kirby Star Allies - A healthy combination of great new tracks and amazing remixes of old. Selection of tracks: Barren Corridors Ancient Forest Masquerade of Hedonistsħ. You can hear the Symphony of the Night vibe out immediately! Which is good cause that game has great music, and so does this. Timespinner - This game's soundtrack wears its inspiration on its sleeve. Selection of tracks: Streets of New London The Last Flame Into the StormĦ. There's really not much else I can say, just let the music speak for itself. Frostpunk - The atmosphere and hopelessness in this soundtrack is just so, so overwhelmingly good. Selection of tracks: First Steps Checking In In the Mirrorĥ. Celeste - I mean, do I need to say anything? Calming yet encouraging, catchy and yet it still manages to be touching. Selection of tracks: The Brilliant Void Frigid Hell Fallen Moon's RequiemĤ. She's still easily my favourite Japanese composer, hands down. Brilliantly composed 8-Bit tracks with the classic NES Castlevania vibe, and yet they still have the Michiru Yamane flavour to them. Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon - I was not expecting to love this game as much as I ended up doing, and the soundtrack is part of it. Selection of tracks (going to just run with the 16-Bit versions here, but the 8-Bit ones are great too!): The Queendom of the Quills Beneath the Surface Corrupted Futureģ. The Messenger - Another surprisingly awesome game with a really great soundtrack, this game has absolutely amazing compositions that sound good in both 8- and 16-Bit styled fashion and get the blood pumping. Selection of tracks: Temple of the Lake Sapphire Ridge Vermillion WastelandĢ. I think what stands out the most to me is just how different the vibes of the various tracks are, and the composer still manages to make all of these vibes work perfectly. The tracks sound like they could be straight out of an SNES or PS1 era RPG, but they still are completely original. CrossCode - Surprise of the year for me, both in terms of being an excellent game period, but also the soundtrack just being an absolute feast for the ears.
