Omg, I have no way of picking out three songs from Genshin Impact lol...

So I'll just nominate all of the Enkanomiya area for its skillfully done minimalist soundtrack!

Eh... no, need to choose specific songs.

But it's too hard, man! D:

Fine, I'll pick a peaceful yet dark one since people think I'm some agitator around here lmfao

Honestly, Enkanomiya's music has this darkness to it hidden underneath its simplistic tunes that tells me this composer is highly skilled.  This music in and of itself isn't complex, but it so perfectly conveys the nature of the area as you traverse that it haunts you.  And I really don't think there's any other game right now with compositions THIS closely matched to its art style where I find the music is literally 50/50 with what makes the Enkanomiya region so interesting.

And, DARE I SAY, it's definitely beating Zelda in the music department and makes me want Nintendo to step up their music again!  I miss the good ol' Zelda music days, like the Hyrule Castle or Dark World theme from ALttP that both haunt me to this day as the first moment I started to care about videogame music!  Genshin gives me a reason to care about game music again, and I hate that people are so quick to dismiss the game since it's F2P and China-developed.
