Relentless Best Music of the Year

by relentlessknight

This year's music in games had some original scores that felt breathtaking and impressive. Here are the list of my favourite music in games of this year!

Showing 1-5 of 5 items

Valiant Hearts: The Great War

1. Valiant Hearts: The Great War

This game's setting maybe depressing but Ubisoft has added some charm and quirk to this side-scrolling puzzle adventure game. First the music, literally takes the form of the rhythmic portions of the game, from strafing and dodging bullets in rhythm of classical, uplifting scores to its soft and touching piano.

Transistor

2. Transistor

Like Bastion, the soundtrack is just damn impressive. Darren Korb who's an audio and composer for both games gave a unique and distinct feeling from this game. As cliche as it sounds, the music lives and breathes the gameplay.

Tropico 5

3. Tropico 5

Like its predecessors, the music in these games has a tropicana, Caribbean/Cuban-feeling to it that fits into the setting. The music is simply colourful, rich with cheerful and distinct rhythm to it despite not having singing like Tropico 3.

South Park: The Stick of Truth

4. South Park: The Stick of Truth

It's a odd choice but like its comedic writing and gameplay, The Stick of Truth has some of the most hilarious musical scores that derive from its TV show. From sucking a vacuum into Randy's ass in the music of Christmas Time to going into Mr. Slave's butthole while listening to Lemmiwinks song.

The Last of Us

5. The Last of Us

Even though this game is from last year, the remastered version of this game just makes me enjoy the musical strings of Joel and Ellie's adventure.
