> [@georgeypoorgey](#): > > Neva is a more mechanically complex game that Gris including combat and varied gameplay styles. I still would place it much closer on a scale toward Gris than toward Devil May Cry. I’ve never played DMC, but I think I understand the combat style you mean there. Maybe I’ll give Neva a good one day. ---

You mentioned the Waterworld soundtrack. That David Evans is a legend. This absolute masterpiece was just a “test” song to try out the new music editor.

> [@anon13834866](#): > > **Do you have any moments in games that the music is integral to?** So many of Mass Effect 2 and 3. Suicide Mission is outstanding and still gets my heart going, and An End Once and For All makes me tear up every time I hear it or play it. Celeste is nothing without its music. It just makes the game. And of course, Still Alive from Portal. EDIT: OH OH OH!! How could I forget about Outer Wilds. When you start to hear the music and you know that you’ve only got a few seconds to! The melancholy of that moment in which you know that things are going to end so you can just sit back and relax, or the thrill of trying to get where you wanted to go quickly before you run out of time. ---

> [@anon13834866](#): > > Do you have any moments in games that the music is integral to? Well, we’ll be discussing _Sonic_ when I’m on, so outside of that I’d have to say the _Deus Ex_ theme. It is just so epic! [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/Rm9PJNF3sE0/maxresdefault.jpg "Deus Ex - 001 - Main Title") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rm9PJNF3sE0) ---

S…sonic? I was told you wanted to talk about Bubsy! I gotta rewrite the episode now!! Lol Deus Ex as a series i think has some pretty great music. I played the original, and Human Revolution and enjoyed them both. Definitely a good pick ---

> [@anon13834866](#): > > S…sonic? I was told you wanted to talk about Bubsy! I gotta rewrite the episode now!! Lol 🤣🤣🤣 Yeah all the games have great music, but that theme is probably my favourite. That said, the music in _Mankind Divided_ is really haunting if you like that kind of thing. ---

_Chrono Trigger_ has several, especially some heavy use of music for thematic reasons. Corridors of Time, Zeal Palace, Schala’s Theme, and Sealed Door operate to contextualize the spaces a moments in Zeal where the initial optimism you feel emerging from the prehistoric era and the an ice age into a floating paradise slowly gives way to uncertainty, then melancholy and nostalgia, before becoming dread. Last Battle also strategically uses stereoscopic sound to emphasize the importance of destroying the Lavos bits that sit to the right and left of Lavos and how they each present an alternating threat to your success in defeating Lavos’ true form. City of Tears in _Hollow Knight_ because of the deeply melancholy that it imparts and that matches the visuals of a city that experiences perpetual rain. _Metroid II_ and its use, or frequent absence, of music to highlight the cavernous and perilous nature of the landscape. _BotW_ for its swelling to fanfare when you first wake up at Lino and walk out to the plateau. _Doom 2016_ opening when obtaining and reloading the shotgun for the first time is timed to Mick Gordon’s Rip & Tear. All of Amos Roddy’s songs for Citizen Sleep and In Other Waters that brilliantly manage to encapsulate optimism and uncertainty at the same time. Ben Babbit’s work on _Kentucky Route Zero_, the way songs by The Bedquit Ramblers capture this pure feeling of travelling through middle America in some lost era, and the way single like Too Late to Love You transport you to a transcendent space. Everything @killerstar said, especially _Outer Wilds_. Edit: I meant to include this and forgot, _Illusion of Gaia_ both for it’s deeply moving soundtrack but also for the haunting flute melodies that Will plays throughout the game (honourable mention to _Ocarina of Time_ and it’s use of Ocarina melodies in similar and enjoyable ways). ---

The one moment that stands out in my mind most is when I surfed across the ocean from New Bark Town as a kid and re-entered Kanto for the first time in Pokemon Gold. The theme for Route 27 seemed so grand and victorious to me, and really captured the feeling of a triumphant return well. I remember sitting where I landed for a few minutes and just taking it in.

> [@killerstar](#): > > Suicide Mission is outstanding and still gets my heart going, and An End Once and For All makes me tear up every time I hear it or play it. So good. Leaving Earth in ME3 kills me. Seeing Vancouver being destroyed while you escape, all while accentuated by Mansell working the Reaper horns into the song makes the moment feel saturated with despair. ---

> honourable mention to _Ocarina of Time_ and it’s use of Ocarina melodies in similar and enjoyable ways One of my complaints about the new zelda games is they don’t give you an instrument to dick around with/create an epic song that makes it rain. ---

Yaaaaasssssss another great. The flute stuff is very cool, like when you’re talking to ghosts, or in the invisible village. Spooky, nostalgic, it’s everything.
