Video games are an experience of its own. Whether you are role-playing or just controlling the player character around a map, you need to be immersed to truly enjoy the game you bought.
As such, video game developers put large amounts of effort to amke their game's soundtrack as enjoyable and immersive as possible to get players into the world they made.
Here are some video game soundtracks that get you really immersed in their respective games.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is CD Projekt Red's swan song for The Witcher franchise and a love letter to its fans. The story, gameplay, and graphics look great even after eight years after its original release date.
However, what made the game feel more vibrant and alive is its soundtrack, which really made you feel like you're making a living in Skellige or fighting an epic battle against a great monstrosity in Toussaint like a fairy tale knight.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt definitely earned the right to snag the 2015 game of the year award, per The Game Awards.
DOOM (2016)
If you need video game music to work out with, then you should consider adding most if not all of Doom (2016)'s soundtrack to your playlist.
The game's soundtrack was made by Mick Gordon, the same man that made the soundtrack for Wolfenstein II: The New Order, 2017's Prey, and Need for Speed: Shift.
Gordon did a great job at creating Doom (2016)'s soundtrack, with it making you feel like you have all the power you need to make the demons of hell afraid of you instead of the other way around.
Simply put, Mick Gordon's music makes you feel like you are the Doom Slayer himself, and nothing will get in your way to rip and tear demonkind (or what have you) until your objective is done.
Super Mario 64
Let's go back to a simpler time when music and technology improved simultaneously to show the world what fun and adventure really look and sound like.
Super Mario 64 may not have a mostly original soundtrack, but it is the one that most Super Mario fans remember the most because of how vibrant and clear the sound is.
Each theme music matches their respective level perfectly. Bomb-omb Battlefield has that playful tune that welcomes players to their first level in the game, while the theme playing while in Big Boo's mansion can really scare kids if it wasn't in a Mario game.
And who could forget the epilogue song when you beat the game? Many people fondly remember Super Mario 64's soundtrack as much as the game itself.
Final Fantasy VII
Whether it's the 1997 version or the more recent 2020 remake, Final Fantasy VII's soundtrack is one of the most memorable video game soundtracks to date.
Many gamers would instantly recognize Tifa's and Aerith's respective themes in just their first few seconds, and almost everyone who only has a passing knowledge of Final Fantasy VII would know Sephiroth's "One-Winged Angel" theme.
The game's soundtrack is so good that Square Enix only needed to slightly enhance the 1997 Final Fantasy VII and add a little flair to make the 2020 remake's soundtrack.
Persona 5
If you want to feel stylishly invincible while engaging in turn-based combat, then Persona 5's soundtrack will do the job for you. Shoji Meguro's jazz and cinematic flair make for that suave feel that just gets you dancing to its beat. Not only does the game's combat music make you busy out the moves, but its day and night cycle also gives you more reasons to enjoy the game's soundtrack while you waltz your way towards finding out who's the center of a conspiracy that could change the world.
If there is one word to describe Shoji Meguro's work and Persona 5's soundtrack as a whole, it will be "Style."
