As the 32 and 64 bit eras already had CD-quality music, thought Iād wrap up this inadvertent theme with an open category; fave game music of any platform.
Mine is going to have to be the only game soundtrack Iāve bought, which was for Night in the Woods. This could just be a function of my experience of the game, but I thought the music hit the right tone all the way through it, and I have to admit Night in the Woods meant a lot to me as a game.
Best? Oof. Hard one, even from just what I remember having heard.
(And Iām assuming video games are also included.)
Hm.
Well, here is some I recall thinking good, at least:
(Rose of May actually has so many remixes, of which at least some are also quite good, that I had some difficulty finding a copy of the actual game version to link here.)
Shoutout to @Mayhem for introducing me to SID/C64 music way back when, which gave me a lasting taste for Rob Hubbards sublime chiptune work in particular:
Ah, glad you liked the Lighthouse one. I found I second-guessed that one, as while I liked it, that was a game I played as a kid (and again later in life), encountering the music both in context and long enough ago that there could have been a nostalgia filter involved. Glad to know that it still sounds good without that (or, alternatively, that you also played the game as a kid or the like).
Heh, well, given Iām not sure what Iād pick as a favorite either, not sure that would have helped me that much, at least.
