One of my favorite things to do is put on an album of a band I'm just discovering, or one that I already know I love, and zone out to a simple game. Sometimes I also use great movie soundtracks like Oblivion or Braveheart.
I find small games that have good hooks work really well, such as puzzle games and roguelikes. Simple narratives are okay, but deep narratives detract from the listening to music part. And of course if the in-game music is vital to the gameplay (such as Crypt of the NecroDancer) then I can't listen to my own soundtracks.
Here's some of the ones I've done in the past:
- Luftrausers
- 1001 Spikes
- Blocks That Matter
- Grim Dawn (and Titan Quest, and most other diablo clones)
I'd like to find others, so I am hoping for some suggestions from you guys.
