this is THE BOSS of Video Game Music Challenges

How did YOU do? Here’s the original video! https://youtu.be/8EgHdcmPo6k?si=S2q-I6PjPR_zCC6D

"There's a lot of music I don't know." Simultaneously a profound statement and perhaps the most obvious thing you've said on your channel.

I was genuinely flabbergasted when you actually sang the Skyrim theme. I've never seen anyone just casually get further than Dovakhin, without resorting to gibberish.

PLEASE DO TEAM FORTRESS 2 MUSIC, performed by the Valve Studio Orchestra, the soundtrack is simply amazing and totally something that you'd never expect to go so hard. I personally recommend the tracks MEDIC!, Playing with Danger, The calm, and ROBOTS to get a good vibe for the types of music used

Honestly, I think it's great that you didn't know a lot of the titles. This just shows that there is still a huge world of music waiting for you to discover it.

you were correct about the valve thing, its also used in other valve games.

You’re still a gamer, Marco This is just a very peculiarly specific list

I find it so funny that you managed to INSTANTLY recognize Ludwig’s theme, as well as the the exact track from the DOOM Eternal OST, But you didn’t know Minecraft at all and didn’t get the most iconic song from the original DOOM. As others said this definitely skewed surprisingly western. No Persona, no Final Fantasy, no Dragon Quest, no Tales, Kingdom Hearts, or any of the Japanese fighting games, like SF or Tekken. Kind of wild how many songs they had in total with so little Japanese representation lol

To be perfectly honest, I saw Sonic in the thumbnail and instantly clicked, only to be disappointed that there was, in fact, no Sonic soundtrack featured xD Great video though, was really fun guessing along. Everyday I'm hoping you would do a video on Sonic soundtracks, because in my opinion, he is the king of video game OSTs since the 90s. Well-known meme tracks aside, it's just so unbelievably varied that absolutely everyone could find something for their tastes. Check out the Sonic Frontiers OST for example, it's so good, no context is needed and I listen to it almost every day.

I feel like I got the sense of what types of games this person enjoys through the tracks chosen. They really like platformers, horror, and survival based games. Fromsoft games too.

That last one is a troll, Silksong is not even out yet. Yes there was a demo you could play at a few cons but that's it.

God, that Left 4 Dead one is unmistakeable for somebody who spent hundreds of hours playing it. Musical stingers is the first warning you get when bad stuff is coming your way and those first couple of notes is the stinger that plays right before a horde spawns, just calmly and subdued in the background. Every L4D player has trained themselves to listen for those sounds.

That valve fanfare labelled as half life 2 was just a big troll

There's just way too many good scores from games out there that it's too hard to remember where each are from xD but i think the more fun part of music challenges is learning about some new tracks you've never heard of

Seeing so many people in the comments complain about this video skewing towards western games like it’s a trick question, but I get the feeling that may actually be the POINT of this quiz. So much video game music people love and talk about tends to be Nintendo, Final Fantasy, Fromsoftware, etc. I think it’s interesting to consider how few of these other games’ soundtracks come up in wider discussions of good video game music, even though they’re clearly fun and distinctive. EDIT: seeing how many times you say “I didn’t know/forgot this game had music” is really emphasizing to me that this person made a very specific quiz based on their personal favorite game tracks, and how that’s actually really nice for reminding people that other games have good music!

You absolutely have to listen to the Minecraft OST as well as Team Fortress 2. Both spectacular soundtracks. Team Fortress 2 has such a great spy 1960-70s vibe and Minecraft has an amazing atmospheric nostalgic vibe.

14:20 I say this as someone who never really pays attention to orchestral unless it's big and bombastic. Elite: Dangerous has some of the most beautiful low energy orchestral I have ever heard and I used to use it as study music all the way through college. I implore that you explore that games music at some point, it's insanely atmospheric and enchanting.

Sure tougher than expected but also cool because it didn't just repeated classics you hear all the time.

15:49 I can absolutely recommend Inscryption. Great game, incredible music, be wary of spoilers.

Don't turn in your gamer card just yet. That was an incredibly specific selection of songs. Other than a few themes from extremely popular games, almost all of them were dark, foreboding tracks from soulslike, metroidvania, or horror games. With a few lesser-known indie gems thrown in. And most of them weren't the more memorable songs from those games either.
