Music has been known to be a powerful thing for thousands of years. The Ancient Greeks thought of music as having magical properties in influencing emotions. If someone is listening to upbeat music, they will feel happy, and if someone is listening to a sad song, they will feel sad. While music can make someone very emotional on its own, the power of music can be increased by having a memory or task tied to it.
One way to do this is to have music in video games. The first ever videogame to have a background soundtrack was Space Invaders, released in 1978. Ever since the addition of music into videogames, it has become a must in almost all of them. One of the most recognized in the world, however, is the Super Mario Brothers soundtrack. Super Mario Brothers came out in 1983 and its music became as popular as the game itself. As a result, the soundtrack got stuck in people’s heads all the time. When people hear that music now, they feel nostalgic of the days where they got to experience Super Mario Brothers for the first time.
Another example of the impact of music in videogames is in Minecraft. Minecraft is the most downloaded game in the whole world, with over 238 million copies of Minecraft sold.
Minecraft’s soundtrack is special since it makes you feel peaceful, yet sad. It has made a similar impression as the Super Mario Brothers soundtrack because Minecraft is so popular.
However, a videogame doesn’t have to be the most popular game in the world to have good music. Destiny 2 is a good example of this. This game is a free-to-play online first-person shooter video game developed by Bungie. It is about aliens invading the earth and people with superpowers, named guardians, trying to fight them. Destiny 2 is game has many different soundtracks, ranging from soundtracks made for boss battles, to a walk-in space.
The reason why this game’s music is so good is because of the sheer amount of time you might spend in one part of the game. For example, if you’ve been stuck on a boss for hours with your friends, you have already made countless memories with them, so when you hear the soundtrack for that boss again, you will be reminded of the memories you made while listening to that soundtrack.
Music is like a recorder. While music is playing, your memories and emotions will be remembered. When you hear that music again, you will be reminded of it, and one of the best ways to link memories is through videogames.
