Many games feature amazing music, but certain games take it beyond even that.

Games like DOOM are known for the “procedural” composition they use to marry gameplay and sound, and not only that, the way the music is a perfect tonal match to what is happening.

What games have you played that feature music that doesn’t just make you notice it, but also pulls you further in?

    So uh… Fun thing about Transistor.

    As the credits roll, Red sings for the first time in the game. The death of her lover at the beginning of the story turns her mute, which is why she only ever hums to the music in the game. During your first play-through. At the end of the game, the credits roll to the tune of “Paper Boats” which is the first song in the game to have lyrics, sung by Red.

    It’s an emotional high point that hits hard. She can sing again!

    But there’s more.

    In new game+ Red no longer hums during all pause screens. She now sings the previously unheard lyrics of several songs in the game!
