I’m just a casual gamer, I absolutely loved the score in Skyrim and Oblivion but when trying to find other good ambience music for caves/ruins/dungeons I was a bit stumped. I’ve found people creating this kind of ambient soundtracks and that’s great, but I’m still curious about the videogame ones. I tried searching for that and failed.
I’m looking for eerie, natural or mysterious types of tracks, nothing too high energy. The platform or genre of the game doesn’t matter.
Have you got any good examples?
One of the OGs: Diablo II.
The Witcher series also has a great fantasy soundtrack in that vein, if you don’t mind the artists allegations… Other than that the Baldurs Gate 2 Soundtrack was also pretty good iirc.
I think the Donkey Kong Country OST has some good ones. Especially aquatic ambience and stickerbrush symphony.
Everybody loves aquatic ambience!
Subnautica has some super chill music. Until you meet a leviathan, or you crash your sub…
Diablo (the first one) has some of the best dungeon and game music ever made in my opinion
Not quite from a game that I know of, but Dawn Of Tears - Blood on Verona
Skip to 11:43, this is one of the most beautiful audio tracks I’ve ever stumbled across, super underrated…
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and the Bloodstained series of games.
Basically anything by Michiru Yamane is going to have great cave music.
I seem to remember the old RPG Fate had some decent dungeon music. I remember enjoying it and it not being repetitive when questing, although I was also like 10 so my opinion might not be that relevant.
