@starkatt Oh, gears. You have uncorked the deep one.
First up, "Mission to the Deep Space," Motoi Sakuraba. This is the Star Ocean 3 rendition, but it's appeared in every SO and is one of Sakuraba's signature tracks. Sakuraba himself has a history of composing for television as well as video games, so his skills are heavily refined.
@starkatt From orchestra to eight-bit, here's Disasterpeace's "Sync," from the FEZ soundtrack. Located in precisely one room in the entire game, even hearing this takes some discovery, but this piece is so evocative of the feeling of the overall experience that I could listen to it for hours.
@literorrery Okay I want to get the entire Fez soundtrack now. This synth is glorious and pure.
@literorrery @emanate I really don't know what to say about this beyond: this is really good.
@emanate @literorrery What is Risk of Rain? I've heard it mentioned a bunch but don't know what it's about, and this track is making me want to play.
@vahnj @emanate @literorrery Hmm. I looked it up and "roguelike action platformer" doesn't sound super my jam at the moment? Right now I kinda want easy games, and those words read "hard game" to me.
@starkatt @literorrery @emanate that's fair, it's definitely a difficult game
