100% The Psychonauts soundtrack. Peter McConnell absolutely nailed it with that soundtrack. My favorite track is "Whispering Rock" aka the campground theme.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds released its official soundtrack last week. It's 208 tracks long and clocks in at just shy of four hours. Don't ask me to pick a favourite track yet, but...
"If I let not knowing anything stop me from doing something, I'd never do everything!"
I played the beta and that Apotos song was very nice @Werehog (Even moreso without all the game noise) but goddamn did I hate actually racing on that track
The Holoska song is pretty neat and I'm quite the fan of that last one "I'm Here" too.
This song has been living rent free in my head, Mick Gordon literally never misses
I also picked up Nier Automata for £17 on sale and while the game is a master piece in story telling, the OST is absoltely outstanding with A beautiful Song being a standout
@HallowMoonshadow While I'll always support any and all Sonic Unleashed representation, I hate to admit that I totally know where you're coming from! Apotos was (and is) an outstanding platforming stage, but I'm not sure it translates 100% smoothly into a kart racer course.
As much as you and I agree about its music, the track is one of the least popular among fans. It's the same kind of criticism which was levelled at the Sonic X Shadow Generations soundtrack last year, when the hate for the game's new Chaos Island remix got way overblown. I never realised EDM / dubstep was so divisive, but then perhaps I'm biased, because (as is often the case) the new Chaos Island remix ended up being one of my personal highlights from that game's soundtrack.
Do you reckon you'll pick up CrossWorlds someday, or was the beta enough for you?
"If I let not knowing anything stop me from doing something, I'd never do everything!"
Oh I'll probably pick it up in a sale at some point @Werehog as I do enjoy a good kart racer. I have Sonic Frontiers and Sonic X Shadow generations in my backlog so I'll be sure to tag you when I get round to them at some point
As for the whole EDM thing... I heard some people complaining about it especially in Crossworlds and I think it's more about the sheer amount of tracks becoming that sorta genre? 🤔
EDM isn't exactly what I gravitate to but it won't stop me from a appreciating a good track regardless and Chaos island act 1 isn't bad at all~!
@HallowMoonshadow Oh, sweet! Hope you enjoy Frontiers and Sonic X Shadow as and when you play 'em and yes, please do let me know your thoughts!
I'm glad you don't hate Chaos Island's music (and sorry for spoiling it ahead of your own playthrough, by the way) but yeah, I'd seen some of those comments about the amount of EDM / dubstep in Sonic soundtracks. Honestly, I'm all for it. Like everything else about him, Sonic's music has always evolved with the times and tried new things. It was never gonna be chiptunes and early 00's butt rock forever, but we're into that generational shift where the Classic Sonic fans are starting to get outnumbered by the Dreamcast Era fans, and so they get to steer the conversation.
Just wait until you hear the Frontiers soundtrack. It's... it's just perfect.
"If I let not knowing anything stop me from doing something, I'd never do everything!"
Im looking for other games with great music/soundtracks/ambiance/sound. For reference some of my favorites are in no particular order; Death Stranding, Returnal, Tetris Effect, BallXpitt, BG3 to name a few. Great music pulls me into a game more than anything else. I think I lean more into synth melodic music, but anything atmospheric does the trick too. I just picked up Tainted Grail and the opening music is amazing. Other suggestions to add?
@Elodin I see you mention Tetris Effect so if you don't know about it already (which you probably already do, but just in case) I wholeheartedly recommend Rez Infinite.
"If I let not knowing anything stop me from doing something, I'd never do everything!"
@Elodin Not sure if they are your types of game, but ones that stick for their score are Sword of the Sea and the first Ender Lillies. The former was by Austin Wintory, and if you are familiar with his previous work you will know that you are in for a treat!
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
