Since the beginning of the 2000’s, the addition of music and soundtracks in video games has become a crucial part in their development, a notion very different from how the acoustic part of video games was considered in the conception of the earliest known video games, which consisted in repetitive and rather simple tunes.
Nowadays, it is a proven fact that the right soundtrack in a video game can exponentially increase the performances of those who play them, and can also take the gaming experience to a whole new level. This happens because music has an immersive effect in people’s subconscious, where they really get into their character’s roles, which automatically activates spurts of adrenaline resulting in quicker reflexes, sharper reasoning, and an overall better performance.
As it is to be expected, for every video game style, there are music genres that fit some more than others. EDM is more compatible with chasing and adventure games, while Metal Rock and Rap are best suited to fighting and combat games, as well as sports games.
