Lena's Big List of Game Music 2023

Well, the end of the year is approaching, so I guess it's time for me to don the capital letters of a Real OTY Post and kick around some of my favorite things OTY.

All the usual disclaimers in place, and I'll repeat this again in my GOTY post too, but hey this year sucked for game creators. My friend put together a really great page that sort of illustrates why: https://wrapped.games/

Digested all that? Ok cool. Thankfully, many game composers, bands, etc. were able to debut a total masterclass in game composition this year. The variety is huge. There's pop songs, rock bangers, weird synth shit, incredible orchestration, retro inspiration (and not just chips at that), chamber music, production quality to die for.

This is gonna be a long post with a LOT of embeds, so read on & prepare for it to take up your whole feed, or just click the permalink and let's get rolling. There's a lot to listen to.

When I first heard Void Symphony in-game, I was struck in absolute awe when the main melody kicked in, because holy HECK is it good... also because it started reminding me of Chrono Trigger. The other tracks I heard so far are also real good. Special mention goes to (rot13'd as it is a spoiler for an ending) Ibvqrq, gur gurzr lbh urne jura lbh ernpu gur raq juvyr Ibvqrq nf Tenl.

Every piece in void stranger is so incredibly memorable. And not just that, but by listening to each one I can remember which part of the game it was from. It’s such an incredible experience. It’s hard to put any piece over any other, but I think the one that’s stuck with me the most is Estranged Elegy. I’m not sure why. Maybe because it so perfectly fits the vibe of the area it plays in. Up there with that would also be (rot13’d as it’s a major spoiler (thanks to the other commenter for the idea)) Rfpungba. Vg'f fb cresrpgyl rrel.
