I forget the guy’s name but he did both OSTs for the above two games and he has a reputation for giving bad games amazing soundtracks. Mechanicus Not a bad game by any means but the music and sound design punch way above their weight for a game of this scope. Tunic (Also very good but probably very niche) EDIT: Void War Probably not bad but self-admittedly very derivative of both its inspirations (FTL and Warhammer 40K)
