How you snub a masterpiece soundtrack like that is beyond me

-Foxtrot67d ago

Especially when TWO of these nominations are DLC's / Expansions

Also 3 of these are games from massive movie franchises which already have iconic soundtracks to them, I'm not downplaying the game composers but they had a template to go off to what the games overall sounding style should feel like.

What's the point of this damn award show at this point?

Expedition 33 is a top soundtrack. Universal acclaim. Does not compute.

I remember the last level of the game. There’s a part where the guitar just starts shredding, tapping and everything heh. I stopped everything and listened to it. Clipped it after. That’s just one example.

Awards shows are very rarely about who is best anymore.

Indiana jones aghhhh 😂 jesus f christ. Sliksong and E33 have the best scores of the year and nothing else even comes close.

Ninja Gaiden 4 is pretty good soundtrack as well from what Ive heard.

It is solid but the weaker story softens its impact, especially when comparing it to something like Expedition 33.

It's one thing to sound good, but it's another achievement to so masterfully marry the tone and vibe of the story with the musical score the way Sandfall did.

I am glad to see Indiana Jones get nominated for something at least. I expect it to be snubbed across most gaming-dedicated awards given its December '24 release, but MachineGames did do a good job with that game all around. The soundtrack hit those same nostalgic notes that likely earned Star Wars its nom too.

Still - it's a shame Expedition 33 isn't being recognized.

@Tacoboto

But the gameplay is way more metal. Give and take.

Best RPG of 2025

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "If there's one genre you can almost always rely on to put out at least a few solid titles each year it's the RPG genre. Whether it's CRPGs, WRPGs, JRPGs, ARPGs, or MMORPGs, there are a lot of subgenres with rich histories and confusing abbreviations, and each of them brings something worthwhile to the table. This year in particular was a bit of an interesting one since it had no brand new entries in the really long-running, genre-defining series like Final Fantasy or SoulsBorneRing to step in and steal the show. Instead, our shortlist consists mainly of much more unique titles within the genre, but they're certainly no less deserving for that."
