Hey everyone!
In the vast universe of video games, while blockbusters and indie darlings alike often get their due praise for storylines, graphics, and gameplay, the soundtracks—those vital pulses setting the emotional and atmospheric tone—sometimes fly under the radar. Yet, it's undeniable how a well-crafted OST can elevate the entire gaming experience, creating memorable moments that linger long after the screen goes dark.
So, let's shine a light on those unsung heroes: the overlooked or underrated soundtracks in video games. Whether it's a hidden gem from a lesser-known indie game, a specific track from a major release that didn't get enough love, or even a whole game soundtrack that you feel deserves more recognition, let's hear it!
