It feels like newer games are just too quiet. No background music, just “ambient noise” if you’re lucky. And as someone who really likes Video Game Music I find that disappointing.
Is it just me or do newer titles really lack BGM?
It honestly feels like newer games are ashamed of looking or feeling too much like stereotypical video games and overcorrect as a result.
Like is it just me? Or have you noticed this too?
The Zelda effect. Of course, things like this were prevalent before Breath of the Wild, just as open world games were. But there was a definite uptick in both since 2017.
I’ll never forgive BOTW for taking a series known for its iconic music and giving it “Ambient Sounds”
