15 Greatest Video Game Theme Songs Of All Time

6. Mass Effect (Galaxy Map)

Speaking of adventures, Mass Effect gave you the entire galaxy to explore - or at least, technology-dependant, Bioware wanted you to believe that was the case. Enter the 'Galaxy Map theme', an almost 80s, synthwave-style piece that comes in right after you first gain access to the Normandy.

Captain Anderson has given you the keys to the cosmos, you walk up to the map and chart your first journey, the music helping usher in all sorts of thoughts on where you might be heading, what you might see and what you'll do when you get there.

Mass Effect 3's ending tends to overshadow the pure gleeful joy that we all had when first experiencing the trilogy, and its passages like this that really highlight that initial appeal.
