Soundtrack

So I was watching some random youtuber playing a random indie game and I was feeling the song of one of the boss battle then I realised. It that persona music?

I was right. It was Aria of the soul from Persona 5.

So it made me think all of my favorite sound tracks from games. So I decided to make a top 5 of my favorite games when it comes to music.

So for this list I will rate each song off of certain things.

Energy: When a song is playing it should give me 1 of two types of energy. Calmness, or extreme excitement. 0 - 15

Vocals: Whether or not the vocals fit the context of the music and soundtrack. 0 - 5

Placement: Whether or not the music matches the enviorment. Aka if its raining, it should be kinda sad and slow 0 - 10

Repetitivness: Whether or not the music gets repetitive after 20 or so times of hearing it. 0/20

So its 0 - 50

#5: Metal Gear Rising: Revengence: 36/50, 12/15 for Energy, 3/5 for vocals, 6/10 for placement and 15/20 for repetitiveness.

Energy fits and is very bombastic, the vocals aren't the strongest since you can't really hear, and some of the boss music and fight muwic is outta place and should be in different fights. Definitly not repetitive.

#4: Persona 5: 40/50. 15/15 for energy, 4/5 for vocals, 10/10 for placement, and 10/20 for repetitiveness.

The energy is very Energetic and bombastic, and at times also very slow and sad. The vocals are good but at some points hold it back. The placement is finominal, but it gets very repetitive since the game is long.

#3: Tohou 7, Perfect Cherry Blossom: 42/50, 12/15 for energy, 0/5 for vocals, 10/10 for placement, 20/20 for Repetitivness.

It is very energetic and always gets my head bobbing, sadly it is pure instrumental so no vocals, the placement always matches the stage you are in, and I have never gotten bored of the songs.

#2 Dark Souls 3: 45/50, 15/15 for energy, 3/5 for vocals, 7/10 for placement, 20/20 for repetitiveness.

The energy is always on point, the opera is very good but is usually unnecessary for most of the songs, and the best song is literally the 2nd boss fight, and the last fight has another one of the best. And you never get bored of any of the songs.

Suprising I know, DS3 isnt my number 1. But,

Nier: Automata: 50/50.

This game has the best music ever. The energy is amazing with bombastic instroments and sad vocals or calming vocals with sad and slow instroments.

With the song placements being amazing, with each soundtrack song placed at perfect moments, with each song perfectly placed at each section. With even the normal hub music being calming.

And the songs have never gotten repetitive.

The best part is the vocals. They literally made AN ENTIRE NEW LANGUAGE for this game. And the beautiful singers voices bring this language justice, with the beautiful opera esc singing accompanying every score perfectly.

Ye thats it.
