Soundtracks that Color the Game [Roundup]: From Classics to the Latest Releases

When it comes to essential elements of games, the soundtrack is a must, right?

“Soundtrack,” or OST, refers to the music that plays during various scenes throughout the game, as opposed to the main theme or ending theme.

This time, we’ve put together a collection of game soundtracks.

We’ve picked masterpieces from various eras, so both the PS2 generation and the PS5 generation should enjoy it.

We’ve also touched on each game’s characteristics, making this recommended for those who want to enjoy games with a focus on musicality and world-building.
