Best Game Music of 2020

Soundtrack Showdown

We’re trying something new!

We really want to talk about some of the great new game music that is coming out every year. But games episodes are so hard to do. The soundtracks are hard to compare, particularly of brand new games where we need to play them fully and work out what tracks are most comparable – where those tracks are even known, or available!

So, we’ve come up with a new approach. We have looked through a lot of the best music and games from the last year and come up with 6 categories to discuss.

We really hope you enjoy it, please let us know through our usual platforms -
