Yoshi's Story is probably the game I've played the most in my entire life.
It's impossible to not be passionate about that adorable green dinosaur, but what made me so attached to this game was it's perfect soundtrack - it just feels like a mantra to me.
It was created by the legendary Kazumi Totaka, who is also one of the key composers behind The Legend of Zelda soundtrack. an absolute banger.

Bomberman has always been one of my favorite video game series, and the music in those games made a lasting impression on me as a kid. Bomberman Hero for Nintendo 64 in particular has a soundtrack that absolutely slaps and really stands the test of time. The whole game is set to this frenetic drum and bass music, with really catchy melodies that also plays a lot with dissonance and tension. I recently learned that almost every Bomberman soundtrack going back to the original NES version in the 80s was scored by the same composer: Jun Chikuma. The Bomberman Hero OST was way ahead of its time, and honestly wouldn’t sound out of place on a Resident Advisor/Boiler Room mix. It just came out on vinyl for the first time, and my copy hasn’t left my record player since it arrived.

i cannot remember a first playthrough of any game i’ve ever played that was as enchanting as this. it was the wondrous adventure that the original zelda from 1986 was gesturing at but finally fully realized with the aid of modern technology and design. especially in the era it came out, when open-world games were at the absolute peak of bloodless checklists and cocomelon design, a game that was this single-mindedly committed to atmosphere, exploration, and wonder was such an unbelievable breath of fresh air (pardon the pun).
at the time it came out, i was falling out of love with gaming broadly, and botw is probably singlehandedly responsible for reigniting my love for videogames. it made me feel a kind of wonder that i genuinely did not think i was capable of feeling anymore, and it reminded me of the wholly unique kind of engagement that interactive art can provide that nothing else can. if you somehow haven‘t played it yet, i would literally recommend it to everyone. absolute fucking masterpiece.
