Basically this. I have just realized that as a guy whos teens where in the 00’s, my musical ear has been groomed by awesome videogames with great soundtracks, like Tony Hawk Pro Skater, Gran Turismo, later Need For Speed and some FIFA. But what’s the equivalent in today’s time?

I’ve bought a FIFA and a NFS recently, but the soundtracks are… OK-ish, I guess? I enjoyed the some Rocket League’s season, though.

    I really enjoyed the soundtrack for Cassette Beast.

    Also, it’s an older game but I want to shoutout Mirror’s Edge. I couldn’t really play it much due to motion sickness, but it had a great soundtrack.

      They got CHVRCHES to do the theme song for the sequel, Mirror’s Edge Catalyst, and it’s a banger (which isn’t shocking since, y’know, CHVRCHES).

        Isn’t the theme song Still Alive by Lisa Miskovsky? Or do you mean CHVRCHES did one just for the sequel.

          Big oof on my part. I meant CHVRCHES did the theme song for the sequel. I meant to paste the youtube link to the song in there, but I must not have actually copied the URL for it, so when I hit paste and moved along, I totally missed that I actually just pasted the line from your comment I was quoting, so my comment ended up looking like garbage.

          Just edited it to maybe have it make more sense.

            Haha no worries. I was trying to decipher your comment and figured that might have been what you’ve done.
