It feels like newer games are just too quiet. No background music, just “ambient noise” if you’re lucky. And as someone who really likes Video Game Music I find that disappointing.
Is it just me or do newer titles really lack BGM?
It honestly feels like newer games are ashamed of looking or feeling too much like stereotypical video games and overcorrect as a result.
Like is it just me? Or have you noticed this too?
I feel like RPGs are still better about having good composed soundtracks. I’m playing Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous yet again, for example, and it has some great and varied music, even going so far as to have a different leitmotif for each mythic path (sort of an uber-class and story branch in one).
