8 Amazing Soundtrack Moments In Video Games

Shadow of the Colossus is a true masterpiece, so it makes sense that it’s soundtrack made just as much of an impact as the gameplay and pure spectacle did too. Whilst any of the fight tracks could be included on this list, Revived Power wins out for perhaps being just that little bit more powerful.

Playing once you’re grappling your way up the furry hides of three separate Colossi, (2, 6, and 9 respectively), Kow Otani’s soundtrack oozes atmosphere, never shying away from the grandiose nature of the game you had in front of you. Video game soundtracks are usually at their best when they can match the on-screen action in intensity, and this is done effortlessly by Otani with Revived Power.

Revived Power specifically begins with a rousing call to action and then swelling violins, set thumping percussion. It is the perfect track to accompany the madness of the game’s varied boss encounters, for it captures the sense of adventure and adrenaline you’ll be feeling as Wander ragdolls, desperately clinging to a scrap of hair to prevent himself tumbling to the earth.
