Music, as much of the human population both past and present would likely agree, is one of life’s most delightful experiences. Being a collection of audible sounds that enters one’s ear canals temporarily (and may remain there far beyond its official recording time), it moves listeners in many ways. Indeed, all the genres produce unique sounds that convey emotions and tell stores on their own without need for watching or reading anything during playback. Video game soundtracks have long been in favor with gamers and listeners alike since their inception. Aptly, as they have evolved from largely electronic, arcade-style pieces to more nuanced, sweeping scores — and in doing so, increasing their exposure — they have become more popular. As a result, it is becoming less common for any game to release without an official soundtrack to enhance the experience. So, prepare for an abundance of tantalizing listening experiences!
