Gut-wrenching<br />
We all have been there; you’ve had a shitty day or just got some really bad news. You want to wallow in your own misery for a bit, let the<br />
tears bleed from your eyes in hopes that it might ease the pain. I like to use a quote from League of Legends, specifically the character<br />
Nunu: “It’s okay to be sad sometimes Willump, because that’s when you know when you’re happy”. And something about that just hits<br />
home. So, allow yourself to be sad, and with that, these songs definitely thug at my heartstrings and hopefully, they’ll do it to yours too.<br />
“Fi’s Gratitude” – The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword<br />
“Reset (Thank you)” – Õkami<br />
“Blue Bird Lamnation” – Virtue’s Last Reward<br />
“Not Tomorrow” – Silent Hill<br />
“Luma” – Super Mario Galaxy<br />
Grandiose Epics<br />
We all need to feel a wee bit epic from time to time, especially after delivering a midterm or maybe just surviving an exam or delivered a<br />
bachelor’s or master’s degree. Or maybe you just need that extra adrenaline kick after finishing up a big project. Either way, a grandiose<br />
epic can really set the mood for whatever you’re planning to do that day and will heighten the stakes of whatever you’re planning on<br />
tackling.<br />
“Revived Power” – Shadow of the Colossus<br />
“Dragonborn” – The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim<br />
“The Apex of the World (Rain)” – Fire Emblem: Three Houses<br />
“Radagon of the Golden Order” – Elden Ring<br />
“Moon Theme” – Ducktales (Original and Remstered version)<br />
Certified Bops (Lyrical)<br />
Despite most video games simply being instrumental music, that hasn’t held them back from releasing certified bangers in their<br />
soundtracks. It seems more of a symptom in modern games to include a vocal theme, however, there are others where they sneak in<br />
whenever, and coincidentally, they’ve also sneaked onto my playlist.<br />
“Moon River” – Bayonetta 2<br />
“Life Will Change” – Persona 5<br />
“Face My Fears” – Kingdom Hearts 3<br />
“Reincarnation” – Tokyo Mirage Session #FE<br />
“Philistine” – No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle<br />
Workout<br />
We all need that blood pumping and doing its business while we’re exercising. There’s a mix between vocals and instrumentals here just<br />
to try and satisfy everyone, and it may seem similar to grandiose epics and intense studying, these are aimed at not rushing the blood<br />
to your brain or ego, but instead to those muscles.<br />
“My Heart Feels No Pain” – Hi-Fi Rush<br />
“Uncontrollable” – Xenoblade Chronicles X<br />
“Hopes and Dreams” – Undertale<br />
“Gym Leader Battle” – Pokémon Sword & Shield<br />
“(ISOLEUCINE)” – 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim<br />
I Just Like These<br />
There’s no real merit to the last five recommendations, I just like and enjoy listening to them and they didn’t fit in any other category<br />
so I’m just going to be slamming them in here. They’re here due to their weirdness or just how they seem to draw me in, either way, be<br />
prepared for some weird, hype and fun stuff.<br />
“Queensland” – Alice Madness Returns<br />
“Toad Harbor” – Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<br />
“Whirling Cafeteria (Day)” – Disco Elysium<br />
“Toys on a Tear” – Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<br />
“Garden of Hope” – Pikmin 3<br />
