Music can be an overlooked and underrated aspect of video games. The best gaming soundtracks and songs get us hyped up to tear apart giant robots, shoot zombies, or plant some pretty flowers. Without it, many of our favorite games might be a tad eerie or boring to travel thಞrough. There were quite a few musical highlights in 2020, so let's take a look at the best gaming music of the year.
Final Fantasy VII Remake
Unsurprisingly, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy VII Remake t🧜ook home Best Score And Mus𒉰ic at this year's Game Awards. Because, yeah, it's the friggin' Final Fantasy VII soundtrack turned up to 11. Most of the original game's most iconic songs have been completely redone with a full orchestra allowing some of the best gaming music ever made to be even more intense. Once the new version of "Let The Battles Begin" hits there's no way to resist the urge to slash some Shinra soldiers in the face.
Trials Of Mana
Hey, did you know that Square Enix released two RPG remakes this year? In the same month no less? Yes, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Trials Of Mana was definitely overshadowed by FF✱VII Remake, but its soundtrack is also full of classic music that has been completely remade. I got to warn you, most of these songs are dangerously catchy. I hear "Powell" at least once a day in my head. It's a curse.
Hades
Hades is a greedy game. It's not content to just have some of the best gameplay, characters, artwork, and voice-acting of the year. It also ha𝓰d to have one of the best soundtracks. That's Supergiant Games for ya. I chose this song to show off because I didn't want to spoil any of the amazing tracks that come from Eurydice and Orpheus. Sure, you could just find those tu෴nes online for yourself, but you really should experience them in-game. You even get the best song in the game as a reward for beating it.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Most of the music in video games is designed to get you all hyped up to do something extreme like take down a dragon. In 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Animal Crossing: New Horizons, it's there to be the perfect soundtrack to go fishing, visit a museum, or hand over your 🦂money to a raccoon. It'ꦏs the coziest music you could possibly find.
Doom Eternal
And then there's the Doom Eternal soundtrack, which may be the least cozy music you could possibly find. If Animal Crossing: New Horizons' songs make you want to relax underneath a peach tree, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Doom Eternal's metal tracks make you want to rip that tree out of the ground and slam it into a Cyberdemon🉐's face. The fact that these two games came out in the same week is simply amazing counter-program🦩ming.
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout
I don't know what kind of a soundtrack a game about silly jellybean people struggling not to drown in pink slime should have been, but this nai🥂ls the vibe. It propels you forward on these insane, cotton candy-colored obstacle courses without being too chill or too overbearing. And if you make it to the last round, you get to hear "Final Fall," which is the best dang song in the whole game. Listen to that bass!
The Last Of Us Part II
Do you want some sad music? Don't worry, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Last Of Us Part II is here to bum you out with lonely guitar and banjo folk tunes that will make you guilty about evღery Clicker and bandit you senselessly murder. Oh, and wait until you ge🌠t to the song at the end of the credits. Not a dry eye in the house.
Paradise Killer
I haven't played 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Paradise Killer yet, but I have listened to its soundtrack a whꦡole lot. As a sucker for synthesizers and vaporwave, it's an absolute delight for me. Now I just need to get around to actually playing this weird game.
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2 came out in 2020. Therefore the Tony Hawk Pro Skater soundtrack makes it onto this list ✱of theꦛ best game music of 2020. Don't @ me.
Streets Of Rage 4
This is the perfect music for smacking street hood𒉰lums with lead pipes and 💃eating roast chickens you got out of an oil drum. This soundtrack for the newest installment of Sega's beloved beat 'em up franchise somehow takes that classic Streets Of Rage sound and updates it for modern times. Also, it's funky as hell.
