Amazing VGM: The World Revolving (DeltaRune)

I never understood the trend among Undertale fans to say that DeltaRune “hasn’t lived up to Undertale’s success.” They do realize the game is incomplete right? We are on only Chapter two out of seven, and those first two chapters are longer than a normal Undertale playthrough. Personally, I think it’s entirely possible that the …

Amazing VGM: Dependent Weakling (NieR Automata)

Remember when I posted these weekly? I keep saying I want to get back into posting these regularly, but there’s so much I need to work on constantly. I just got done playing NieR Replicant, and there’s actually a mode where the in-game soundtrack will be replaced by songs from NieR Automata, and this plays …

Amazing VGM: Gods Bound by Rules (NieR)

It’s been a little while since I covered a track from NieR as an amazing VGM hasn’t it? The last one I did was “Weight of the World” from NieR Automata and that was at the end of December of last year. This time, I’m going to cover one of the more underutilized and thus …

Amazing VGM: Go Home Johnny (LISA: The Painful)

Expect me to do a lot of stanning for LISA: The Painful in the future. It really is a work of genius in just how it conveys the painful nature of Brad’s existence through its gameplay. But this piece isn’t about the gameplay, it’s about the music that accompanies part of the gameplay. Specifically this …

Amazing VGM: The Cave Where the Crystal Lies (Final Fantasy III)

The Final Fantasy series is to amazing video game music what Donald Trump is to the KKK; something celebrated. A series that extends to over 50 games and nearly every one of them has at least a decent soundtrack and many of them are exceptionally awesome. Thus far I’ve only had two Amazing VGM entries …

Amazing VGM: True Power of the Occult (Yandere Simulator)

It seems like Yandere Simulator is the popular thing to hate given how its developer has been… kind of a prick to some people. I have my own thoughts on YandereDev himself but I plan to save those for later. The thing is, it’s important to separate an artist from his art sometimes. Phil Fish …

Amazing VGM: Monster Dance (Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest)

Simon’s Quest was an interesting game. There were a lot of unique ideas present at the time and it laid the groundwork for what Koonami would later perfect with Symphony of the Night. Yet there are also a lot of shortcoming present. I’m not here to talk about those though, we’ve all seen the AVGN …

Amazing VGM: 26 (Rosenkreuzstilette)

It’s about time I covered a VGM from Rosenkreuzstilette, the soundtrack to this game somehow manages to be better than the Mega Man games themselves. It really takes a lot to accomplish that. There was such an intense amount of effort put into this game’s soundtrack that I don’t know where to begin, so I’ll …

Amazing VGM: Fossil Falls (Super Mario Odyssey)

Well, right now I can definitely say I am hooked on Super Mario Odyssey. I have over 350 moons thus far and have yet to even “beat” the game in the traditional manner. I think it’s safe to say that I love this game. There may have been a few moments where I felt that …

Amazing VGM: Encounter of Destiny (Megadimension Neptunia VII)

Well would you look at that, Megadimension Neptunia VIIR is out now and I haven’t even reviewed the original version of it. I have no idea how much is changed from one version to the other but there is one thing that certainly doesn’t need to change; the music. I’ve already talked about the other …
