The man is an actual genius, I can’t believe how varied the OST is, from operatic, to jazz, etc, every track just works. He is at the same level of genius we all felt about Mick Gordon on his Doom OSTs, and maybe better. I know I’m dealing with recency bias, but this is one of my favorite games of all time already, and probably my #1 for OST.

I’m drunk on recency bias myself but I’m tempted to put him in Uematsu tier myself. I know that sounds outrageous but it’s actually that good. Even the lyrics are absolutely amazing. It will probably end up being my favourite OST of all time.
And there’s 8 fucking hours of it and not a single weak track!?

I just started the game last night. Holy shit that opening prologue was incredible, and the music did so much for the atmosphere of loss/melancholy.

Honestly, their soundtrack is the best one I’ve heard in all of gaming. That whole game is amazing.

This was definitely that surprise hit of 2025 and it delivered in spades.

I’ve had the soundtrack on loop for weeks. Every piece just feels right for the part of the game and the vocals are just spectacular.

Humble beginnings! I hope he continues to make many more soundtracks. I loved all the music in the game. It felt so right.

The biggest things for me is that I hate having to turn the music down in game to be able to hear the parrying cues.

I found that too. The animations are misleading - just listen for when you need to press the buttons.

Idk wtf happened, but the stars aligned and really talented people all somehow grouped up and made a masterpiece.
