I have a radio station I listen to that specializes in this. But there are some games that work better than others. What first comes to your mind?
Paradox games are pretty good (Stellaris particularly)
Portal/Portal 2 aswell
Solar 2 is also a personal fav but hard to find OST other than on YT
Crono Cross, anything from monster hunter Tri and up.
Depends on a lot of things but for deep focus I like the X3:TC soundtrack
Tunic has an excellent soundtrack that’s one of my favorites for work music. https://invidious.reallyaweso.me/watch?v=nnvjKf_mRYM
I listen to the Diablo 2 & 3 or Skyrim OST when reading.
I wrote both my bachelor’s and master’s thesis to Watch The Skies from Skyrim on loop. Yes, the same track all day for weeks.
My brain autofills in dragon roars when listening
Doom or doom eternal.
How do you study when your entire body is urging you to bang your head to the tune?
Hey! Just wanted to come back and thank you for mentioning RPGamer Radio!
I’ve been playing it at work, and I’m really enjoying it. Thanks!
You’re welcome :)
Uplink is a game about hacking that’s got fantastic tracker music for it’s soundtrack. Blue Valley is just great background music, no strong melodies, just chords and vibes.
Zelda botw. Lots of piano mixes on youtube
It’s relaxing until the Guardian music kicks in!
FEZ has a great soundtrack. Also Sword & Sworcery.
The Cyberpunk OST goes crazy, and the Risk Of Rain franchise has some killer stuff.
I use Wh40k: Mechanicus & Ixion
Stronghold
I was playing the Stardew Valley OST at work this week. That’s music to get shit done at a relaxing pace.
