So you're telling me Metroid Dread lost this by just one vote? Damn.
Not sure anymore what I voted for. I don't think Dread's soundtrack is bad at all. Together with the sound effects and it's visual style it also managed to give the atmosphere an even more lasting effect. While the soundtrack itself is not memorable at all and mostly isn't something I'd put into my playlist, it still in most part succeeds what it was supposed to do. Especially the EMMI tracks help making the game more tense.
Metroid Dread's soundtrack only really shines when in the game itself and not listened to separately.
Yeah, I probably voted for Metroid (I think I voted for Metroid in every category it was available in lol).
Edit: come to think of it, I must have voted for Ys IX. Forgot about it, since it only launched in 2021 in the west.
