Top 100 Video game tracks 2

When I created my first Top 100 videogame tracks almost four years ago, I thought on the one hand that I had put my magnum opus into the world. On the other hand, I was very sure that I would certainly not bother a second time, let alone a third. Almost four years later, I'm about to write my 200th review and feel the need to celebrate in style. And because not only have a bunch of new soundtracks reached the world's auditory canals in the meantime, but I've also been able to catch up on many 'old favorites', the stars seem to have aligned for a second list.

Then as now, the rule was that I had to limit myself to one track per score. In addition, I have refrained from including other tracks from the albums that were already in my first Top 100 Videogame Tracks to avoid always raving about the same things. According to this logic, the albums from this list will be excluded from the 3rd Top 100 - should it ever happen. All clear so far? Then have fun!

Order

Limiting myself to just 100 songs in this list was hard enough. That's why there is no specific order or 'the best track' in this list. I love them all equally! 🙂
