I absolutely love video game soundtracks. My favorites are Journey, The Last of Us, Zelda: Majora's Mask, and some parts of Kingdom Hearts.

Quite a bit of my playlist is made up of music from video game soundtracks. I have a lot from the Final Fantasy series (especially 8, 12, and 14), along with some from Kingdom Hearts. I also love the music from Ocarina of Time, which might partially be my nostalgia talking. The stuff from the .hack games is also really beautiful and I recommend it, they don't get nearly enough love!

PUBG Song Lyrics I Love This Song

I'm sorry but
Don't wanna talk, I need a moment before I go
It's nothing personal
I draw the blinds
They don't need to see me cry
'Cause even if they understand
They don't understand

I love the soundtrack from the Silent Hill franchise, specially the 4th game (The Room). And these are actual songs, not just scores. The songs are downright creepy and take you right into the atmosphere of the game. Akira Yamaoka is a brilliant composer.

God of War, Skyrim, Minecraft, The Witcher 1,2, and 3, and Stardew Valley have the best soundtracks!!

For the longest time, I loved the music from Kingdom Hearts. It was just so beautiful and I would listen to it on repeat.

I am not a big gamer, but my husband enjoys the Final Fantasy soundtracks. I am pretty sure he bought a CD collection of them at some point. He has always enjoyed the song "Suteki da Ne" from Final Fantasy X.

I never really played it myself but the music from legends of Zelda kind of brings you into a whole new world and is sort of calming. My friend was obsessed with it at one point

I enjoy the "Flower" soundtrack. It is calming and provides nice background music when I need something relaxing.

Legend of Zelda twilight princess has a symphonic orchestra album made by fan show that sounds great! It’s called twilight symphony I think.

Latest Review: Yesterday by Samyann

Post by Iconicsmt »

American McGee’s Alice is a fantastically dark take on Alice in Wonderland that starts out with Alice in a mental institution after losing her family in a fire. The White Rabbit returns her (mentally) to a very sinister Wonderland, where she must battle her now-corrupt friends to defeat the Queen of Hearts and save her own sanity. Pretty rad story and surreally gorgeous graphics, but it’s the music that makes it truly awesome. Trent Reznor wrote the soundtrack, and almost every chapter is accompanied by a different song that somehow fits each location and atmosphere, but also manages to give a subtle sense of discombobulation that perfectly conveys the brokenness of Alice’s mental state, and of Wonderland in general. Really genius work.

I think the Legend of Zelda games have some of the best soundtracks in video games, however Skyrim's is also very good.

I love the soundtrack from Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. It gives an intro to the game with the sound.
