If you’ve ever heard of the “Mozart Effect” then you would know that the music selected from Rossini and other classical composers for the OST function more like a concentration aid to this puzzle platformer game. The game is adult-oriented in its themes as it explores the fears and irrationalities that many males face with a commitment. I felt like “The Storm” perfectly encompasses the overall feel of this game. It was honestly kinda hard to pick one above the others to exemplify this fiendish tower puzzle game, that revolves around Vincent and his indecisiveness between marrying Katherine, the straight-edge and driven businesswoman and Catherine, the wild and unpredictable succubus. William Tell Overture “The Storm” by Gioacchino Rossini and Various other Composer’s – Catherine But the longer you stay in the save room the more haunting the theme becomes as you realize the eventuality of leaving its relative safety. The Evil Within, created by the same team as Resident Evil, places you in a nightmare of mysteries and close shaves that every time you hear Debussy’s most famous piece you can’t help but sigh in relief for the respite. If it’s one thing horror games get right, it’s making you feel on edge for your entire playthrough. Nostalgia aside, classical pieces have a certain gravitas that can really emphasize a scene or moment in time and below are some the best examples of classical music in video games.Ĭlaire de Lune – Claude Debussy – The Evil Within The little bleeps and bloops we more than enough to spark my imagination and soon I was running around everywhere whilst humming my own theme just like in early RPGs. While I’ve been a fan of classical for as long I can remember, video games were my catalyst into the world of playing music. All it takes is a few nuanced changes and suddenly a familiar piece of music paints a vastly different picture, the best example of this I can think of off the top of my head is Dead Space’s rendition of Mozart’s 12 Variations in C Major K265 or more commonly known as “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” that they used for the announcement trailer. Orchestral music to me reigns supreme as the pinnacle of music with it’s ability to ebb and flow on the fly to match the dynamic cadence similar to natural human speech. Classical here being used as an umbrella term for pretty much everything made before the 20th century that requires a conductor to perform. It's also relatively short, but the music and colorful world are both very appealing, and it being short is kind of okay/nice in that you have to play it twice anyway.While It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of Video Game music, it might be lesser known that I’m actually a bigger fan of “Classical” and orchestral music. #ETERNAL SONATA OST REDDIT FULL#The combat is slow at first but as you progress in the game, it unlocks and becomes less restrictive and more fun, but you should also know it requires New Game+ to get the full experience, because they arbitrarily lock off some content that you cannot access on your first playthrough, and there are also two (technically three) endings. But there's plenty to do and it will last you a good while.Įternal Sonata is a neat game, though, bonus points if you're a music buff and already have an interest in piano/Frederic Chopin, as it's an interesting take on his life and history. The combat leaves something to be desired, as it's essentially just rock paper scissors while using an overpowered spam to defeat each case. Tales of Zestiria is pretty polarizing, some love it, some hate it, but I personally loved it, for the world, the story, and the characters. Tales of Berseria, its prequel-sequel, though, is not. I didn't even know that Tales of Zestiria was on PS3, wow.
