10 Underappreciated Soundtracks That Defined Your Favourite Video Games

This particular soundtrack – composed by Carpenter Brut, M|O|O|N and Scattle – is immediate gratifying with its irrepressible, synthesised instrumentation and hypnotic beats, complementing the game perfectly. It’s fast paced and fierce, darkly pulsating like the seediest of '80s nightclubs as seen through the eyes of an amoral, coked-up psychopath.

That said, the soundtrack isn’t lacking in variation, benefiting from the collaboration of multiple musicians, including M|O|O|N, whose notable contributions Hydrogen, Paris and Crystals make up some of the more exceptional moments on this track list, merging minimalist electronics with unsettling dance music.

As such, the soundtrack conveys the atmosphere of the game splendidly, complementing the genuinely visceral and unrelenting visuals of Hotline Miami. It’s an inimitable fragment of disturbing '80s nostalgia, and it’s completely twisted, and therefore wonderful.
