It’s our usual habit to listen and mumble our favorite video game music that we always listen to. Those video game soundtracks make us either feel nostalgic or motivated, or maybe both at the same time. They actually take us to those certain memorable moments we experienced while playing a game.
With headphones jacked on to our device/system, those game soundtracks play an important role in our life. How? Do I need to elaborate? But it must be difficult browsing the internet/certain apps, to find some decent gaming music, right? Well, for your comfort, we compiled up a pretty huge list of best video game soundtracks of the decade that will relive you from such type of pain or misery. Enjoy listening!
Note: We are no music critics, so this is not a ranked list but rather a collection of random songs.

“Knives out! Knives out! Scaling the rooftops of London…knives out buddy!”… Lol don’t worry, I added some lines on my own. Ring any bells? Well, this song was implemented in Assassin’s Creed Syndicate. Man! Wasn’t it amazing exploring the 18th century London, beating up goons and of course, grappling throughout the city?!
#119 Knife Party- Resistance
Sounds cool and inspiring isn’t it? Well, perhaps this song hasn’t been implemented in any game so far but most of the YouTube gamers use it in game walkthroughs or montages. God! The music intensity before and after you hear, “This is a Knife!”….damn! I love it!
