Top 10 Video Games of the 2020s with the Best Soundtrack

Video games have been improving constantly over the years, not just graphically but also in terms of in-game sound and music. Long gone are the days of 8-bit tunes. Now, developers hire composers and artists to create high-quality soundtracks that elevate the gaming experience.

As the 2020s progress, let's take a moment to rank the video games of the decade with the best soundtracks. Feel free to add games released during this decade if you think they deserve a spot on the list.

The Top Ten

  1. Hades

    Hades is the roguelike dungeon crawler that took the gaming world by storm in 2020. The soundtrack, made by composer Darren Korb, fits perfectly with the game and definitely contributed to the game's success. Gameplay and story always need a good soundtrack to accompany them.

  2. Final Fantasy VII Remake

    The soundtrack also received a remake, just like the game, and many songs are orchestrated versions of the original tracks. Overall, it's a great soundtrack and was many gamers' favorite in 2020.

  3. Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy

    This game received a lot of praise in 2021 for its soundtrack. In fact, it's pretty much what everyone on the internet was excited about, especially at the Game Awards.

  4. Ori and the Will of the Wisps

    This game has a beautiful soundtrack, and not many people seem to have brought much attention to it. Such is the life of most indie games.

  5. Ghost of Tsushima

    Ghost of Tsushima was not only loved for its swordplay and beautiful visuals but also for its beautiful soundtrack, which really meshes well with the game's other components.

  6. Resident Evil 3: Remake

    The remake has some new tracks, but most of the tracks are remastered versions of the original ones.

  7. Mario's Mystery Meat

    Cursed Cathedral and the game's remake of Tail Cave are utterly perfect, especially as the theme songs for Extremely Polluted China and Extremely Cold and Depressing Russia.

  8. Resident Evil Village
