These are works of music created specifically for the games in which they appear. We’re only considering original scores and soundtracks-nothing licensed, so no famous pop or rock songs.
None of the games below fit that category-they’d all be worth playing even if the only music they had was “Yakety Sax”-but every single one of them has been elevated and improved by its music.īefore we dive in, let’s explain a few things. Music is such an important part of creating a game’s mood and personality, and it’s so powerful that I’ve enjoyed otherwise bad games based solely on a great soundtrack.
You can’t hear the strains of a Zelda or Final Fantasy without immediately thinking of fantasy lands like Hyrule and Spira, and the adventures and relationships you forged there. As great as they might sound in concert or on our turntables, it’s impossible to separate the best videogame soundtracks from the games they were made for.
