Our List of ‘The Best Original Soundtracks from the Games of 2021’

Music has always been a massive part of video games, along with sound effects, graphics and unique illustration style that have also been a plus, but soundtracks help bring games to life, they help us to absorb the atmosphere, to ‘live and breath’ the game.

The soundtrack in NieR Replicant is godsent, it’s just as beautiful as NieR: Automata’s soundtrack and completely captures every little emotion from the characters to the supporting characters, the viewers, the dialogue and even the environment. Everyone is a witness and through the music, NieR Replicant makes everyone a part of guilt, happiness, loss and love, including the player.
