Looking at the title, you must have been filled with anticipation that I will now give analytics about various gorgeous soundtracks from the world of gaming. Not quite like that. Give up hope of hearing monumental compositions by Jeremy Soule or Michael McCann below, because today is the time to turn your attention to indie projects.

I’ll come a little far away. Each of those who like to play “different” games can easily formulate for themselves a number of signs of a good game. Be it gameplay, graphics, and the list goes on. From genre to genre, different of these points are more or less important. But musical accompaniment is mentioned less and less often among these criteria. Speaking about AAA projects, sometimes the developers themselves neglect to pay due attention to the soundtrack. Games ala Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist or Hitman Absolution are colorful confirmation of this.

I think many, at one time, appreciated this exquisite slap on the ears.

And it’s unlikely that the composer of the last Hitman set out to impress and amaze.

Now let’s turn to indie. This market meets, first of all, with an abundance of genres and fresh concepts. What can I say. Some games are generally difficult for an ordinary user like me to attribute to any group, genre, etc.d. What can be judged for sure is that you will hardly find a game that will greet the player with off-screen silence. Obviously, the much more modest scale of the project allows, and in many ways even obliges, the developers to pay due attention to the soundtrack. You don’t have to look far to find a couple of tiny projects that, without a memorable motif, would lose the lion’s share of their charm. Within a small game, music can easily be an undeniable plus and pull it out of the swamp of indie new products that have flooded the market.

Now we come to the point. And that is, to what a significant role accompaniment compositions play in the world of indie. And since the introduction is a little long, I’ll just pump out a selection of soundtracks that, in my opinion, give the game its integrity as a project. Without which she would have lost a lot of charm, charm, atmosphere.

Let’s start with something new. Transistor. What can I say?. I would venture to guess that most users are familiar with the game in one way or another, be it reviews, streams, let’s plays, We couldn’t ignore the most pleasant female vocals, familiar to many from “Bastion”, which perfectly complemented the original graphic design and, undoubtedly, interesting gameplay solutions. The adventures of the singer Red gave me not only desktop wallpaper, but also a couple of new compositions for the playlist.

Next PID. A simple platformer with fun mechanics, simple, laconic design, but extremely entertaining music from the Swedish band Retro Family. The team also managed to celebrate the creation of soundtracks for the game Shelter. Despite all the delights of PID, the game will remain in my memory precisely thanks to the compositions presented below, which set a fantastic atmosphere.

Don’t Starve. Modest indie survivalist. Possessing its own signature, recognizable graphic style, thanks to which all the “horrors” of survival are difficult to take seriously, at certain stages of the game it can throw up quite a challenge. However, having heard the first seconds of the main theme, you will immediately remember that very living, running Christmas tree. Even the melody with the seemingly threatening title “Danger” sounds very comical.

Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number What do we expect from her?? Mochilova! Is it possible to get true pleasure from murder if it is not flavored with excellent music?? Unless you’re some kind of maniac, it’s unlikely. There are still months until release, but a bunch of red pixels and a sound are definitely attracting attention. Great mixes seem to perfectly complement the already familiar crazy gameplay.

World of Goo. It was obviously impossible to bypass this absolute masterpiece of indie game development in such a topic. The soundtrack that accompanies us in the adventures of cute sticky balls has probably been heard by every Stopgeymite. He received the highest degree of editorial recognition, regularly appearing in Indicator. Once recognized, he is never destined to be forgotten. The same can be said with confidence about the entire World of Goo.

Time for a couple of singles. The Stanley Parable. Meticulously knocking out all the outcomes that his strange adventures can lead to for a typical ordinary clerk from office No. 427, do not forget to climb out the window. There you will find only white textures, dazzling emptiness and, suddenly, a singing speaker. Our good “friend” and “ally” narrator, accompanied by a pleasant string pluck, will tell us about our future and existence. This is unlikely to disturb us on this mystical journey, because until the very end everything depends only on Stanley. Again and again.

Last but not least HELL. The name of this game is synonymous with the words “suffering”, “rage”, “pain” and everything like that. Everything in it, from the gameplay to the most annoying musical theme, is designed to irritate your brain at all levels of consciousness. Don’t watch streams! Don’t read reviews! Abstract from this reality and imagine that there is no game in our universe
I Wanna Be The Boshy.
