10 Perfect Video Game Soundtracks For The Ultimate Work/Study/Reading Playlist

8. L.A. Noire

A soundtrack that serves a very specific purpose, these tracks are fantastic to give your work, study or reading a slightly edgier vibe but in a dated way. The “Main Theme” is outstanding and sets the tone of the '40s detective thriller straightaway.

A lot of this game’s tracks are split into two or three parts, and “New Beginning” is the ideal three-part set for a relaxed vibe, while “Pride of the Job” and “Temptation” are much brassier for a more pumped up energetic session. The whole soundtrack is great at maintaining a mood from start to finish, though some tracks are much faster paced than others.

Chances are I’m watching a movie or replaying Mass Effect rather than doing anything productive.
