And this applies just as much to the soundtrack. Once again featuring a score from Jan Volta and Adam Sporka, the music of the title has a rich, classically orchestral sound to it, and is immaculate at creating a feeling of place when it comes to exploring 1400s Bohemia. Much of the music is tinged with a hint of danger and malice, but the score always makes sure to leave room for something a little bit more playful and upbeat when called upon.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Dispatch\"><\/span><strong>6.

From a team of former Telltale devs, Dispatch, an adventure game about sending superheroes out to remedy crimes they\u2019re best suited to, is a breath of fresh air. The soundtrack, courtesy of Andrew Arcadi and Skyler Barto, is equally refreshing. It offers some rather surprising choices, largely forgoing that classic Hollywood sort of superhero sound. Instead, the music leans more into a synthy, industrial sound, though not without unexpected detours. You\u2019ll get a glimpse of things ranging from yacht rock to piano ballads to pure ambient horror.

Making incredible use of percussion and woodwinds, the soundtrack has a very unique sound, so it\u2019s perhaps even more impressive that Y\u014dtei manages to separate itself. While it doesn\u2019t forego its lineage entirely, the follow-up to Jin Sakai\u2019s journey has a bit more of a lone-gunman feel to it. Toma Otowa\u2019s score makes use of motifs that offer almost a western, cowboy-esque feel, but utilises the appropriate instruments of the region.

Teaming up with Giant Squid for the third time, following Abzu and The Pathless, the score for Sword of the Sea is a fascinating one. While Abzu is a slower, aquatic title, and The Pathless is action-heavy, Sword of the Sea is something of a skateboard game? And the end result is a soundtrack that seems to dip a little farther into the electronic umbrella than we\u2019re used to hearing from Wintory, but as a texture on top of the type of piano and stringed arrangements we\u2019re used to from him. The soundtrack has breathtaking beauty and a very striking leitmotif, sure to make your ears prick up at multiple points through your playthrough.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Silent_Hill_F\"><\/span>2. <strong>Silent Hill F<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<figure class=\"youtube\" data-videoid=\"um83SoVnD0o\" data-start=\"0\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/um83SoVnD0o?rel=0&amp;hd=1&amp;showinfo=0&amp;modestbranding=0&amp;autohide=1\">\n<div class=\"video-stage\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"ytum83SoVnD0o\" class=\"external youtube-thumbnail\" title=\"Play\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=um83SoVnD0o\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/um83SoVnD0o\/mqdefault.jpg 800w, https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/um83SoVnD0o\/maxresdefault.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/um83SoVnD0o\/maxresdefault.jpg\" width=\"890\" height=\"501\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"YouTube Video\"><span class=\"watch-on-youtube\" title=\"Watch on YouTube\">Watch on <strong><span class=\"icon icon-youtube-play\"><\/span> YouTube<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/aside>\n<p>It\u2019s always a treat to get new Silent Hill music. Akira Yamaoka\u2019s original score for Silent Hill 2 is one of the greatest of all time, and Silent Hill F allows for a fascinating new exploration of what the property can sound like. The end result is a soundtrack truly unique among the franchise, featuring music from Kensuke Inage, as well as Yamaoka himself. The underlying ambient energy remains consistent with much of the property, but the massive shift in locale allows for an entirely new portfolio of textures and sounds to help define what it means to be in Silent Hill.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Clair_Obscur_Expedition_33\"><\/span>1. <strong>Clair Obscur: Expedition 33<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<figure class=\"youtube\" data-videoid=\"iqizXvvWnmM\" data-start=\"0\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iqizXvvWnmM?rel=0&amp;hd=1&amp;showinfo=0&amp;modestbranding=0&amp;autohide=1\">\n<div class=\"video-stage\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"ytiqizXvvWnmM\" class=\"external youtube-thumbnail\" title=\"Play\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iqizXvvWnmM\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/iqizXvvWnmM\/mqdefault.jpg 800w, https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/iqizXvvWnmM\/maxresdefault.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/iqizXvvWnmM\/maxresdefault.jpg\" width=\"890\" height=\"501\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"YouTube Video\"><span class=\"watch-on-youtube\" title=\"Watch on YouTube\">Watch on <strong><span class=\"icon icon-youtube-play\"><\/span> YouTube<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/aside>\n<p>At number one, what else could it be, really? Clair Obscur is one of the best RPGs in recent memory from a shockingly small team out of France in Sandfall Interactive. And though it&#8217;s been talked about extensively throughout the year at this point, it also happens to have an <em>extraordinary<\/em> soundtrack. Between exquisite utilisation of strings, accordions, and especially the vocals of Alice Duport-Percier, the soundtrack demands your attention at every opportunity. And that\u2019s saying something, as the official score from Lorien Testard clocks in at over eight hours. Don\u2019t let that intimidate you, though; this is a journey you want to take.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>This year was absolutely stuffed with incredible music, and as we said, it\u2019s nearly impossible to whittle the list down to just a top 10, so we wanted to highlight a couple of late cuts before we go.<\/p>\n<p>Honorable Mentions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Despelote<\/li>\n<li>Death Stranding 2: On The Beach<\/li>\n<li>Sid Meier&#8217;s Civilization VII<\/li>\n<li>DOOM: The Dark Ages<\/li>\n<li>POOLS<\/li>\n<li>Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater<\/li>\n<li>Blue Prince<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, what do you think of our 2025 soundtrack list?
