Video game songs that hit you hard

Do I need to say more?

To me Santaolalla’s music to this game is on par with Morricone’s to Leone’s Spaghetti Western movies. It’s like an added character.

This one is a close second, and I even dislike “fantasy” setting in games/movies

I was 18 and worked for Nintendo as a demonstrator when this launched…

This has spent many years living rent free in my head as well.

Liyue from Genshin Impact might be my all timer

Just pure Beach Boys Smile-era good vibes

Tons, from early arcade and home computer/console tunes, to Playstation, PSP, Xbox etc later.

Video games sounds/soundtracks resonate with me far more than most other music/instruments.

Music from games are among the best since I can always relate to them even after the gameplay is done. Too many great songs, I’d give a few examples:

Fabulous Performance

Kind of song that gets me going

Some nostalgia
