Not at all, Bear Mcreary demolished anything else that was released this year. Have you heard how he changed the main theme of God of War Ragnarok to make it sound more epic? How is that even possible when it was already so epic. Also have you heard blood upon the snow ft Hozier?

[@umutdogan3897]

@@hakangokhan9434 I don't agree with what you're saying. Gow has no catchy music other than the main theme and Blood Upon The Snow. Plague Tale's soundtrack is more better and meaningful. Bear McCreary won this award thanks to his popularity. In our opinion, the real owner of this award is Olivier Deriviere. Also, is your sense of good music just about epic?

How this didn't win the award is beyond me, GOW had amazing music, but this piece alone is just incredible!!

[@peterpain6625]

It hits way differently when you played the game. My ex heard it one day while on the phone with me. Then shrugged it off as "pretty good". Couple of weeks later she played both games back to back while sick at home. Called me at 3 am bawling her eyes out and told me "now i know what you mean about spectacular and elevating the game". Maybe it's that. But i agree. Should have won.

[@MajesticFerret]

If we're judging just for the music, Raindrops in the Flood and GoWR theme was prob the best. This game has steep competition. I do think Amicia's voice actress should have won best voice actress though, hands down.

[@syed1431]

This is my favorite main theme from any piece of entertainment(game or music). I have never seen anything like it before, yes the vocals are great, and the instruments are too, but the music is much deeper than that because it's a poem of love between 2 siblings. It connects with the player in a very intimate manner because we know these 2 people so well and we understand the feelings they're expressing to each. And the fact that it uses symbolism of the sun and the moon from the game, which lots of players seems to have missed, makes it more beautiful. I have huge appreciation for the composer for being able to write something that can invoke such strong emotions in those who hear it, and its also shows the amount of love that's been put into this theme and every other track of the game.

[@jakebrady7426]

After seeing the English lyrics, I cry even more. It is because I imagine this as Amecia saying these things to Hugo. Damn this game is good! 😢👍🏻

[@Mr_Morgan]

Magnificent and extraordinary at the same time. I just can't stop crying when I listen this music.

[@fallin1_]

A legendary song to a legendary journey this game took us all on. Both will stay in my memory and heart, and with blind optimism and hope, I will wait for the next chapter of this amazing experience. Amicia and Hugo, they fought and they held, always. Never forgotten.

[@lyudmilatsupko1028]

This song fits the game incredibly well. It's like a song of Amicia's heart, lonely and wounded and filled with sorrow but still eager for light. And as a classical and choir music enthusiast, I can't imagine other kind of music to sound in APT. I can feel it was inspired by classical choral music, and it's amazing. It wraps the story so good and fills you with that strange, out of this world feeling, like you're touching something really special and sacred. I don't know if it makes sense lol. What I'm trying to say is that you created really great, touching music, that keeps the rich tradition of classical music from the past and the present.

[@daniilshylan4027]

There was such a case when I was playing the game. It’s already 5-6 o’clock in the morning, I decide to take a break in the passage. And when I go to the main menu, this music inspires me to continue playing. And if it weren’t for dawn already outside, I would really do it. I don’t remember such cases before, so I decided to write about it.

[@technologicalelite8076]

@@mish3l456 Completely unexpected for me. I thought Hugo, Amica, and Lucas would reach a remote land where they are at peace, living and growing up. Unfortunately there were no happy endings here. I didn't cry, I rarely do, but once I figured out we had to kill Hugo, I was like "Awww nooooooo". Amicia crying putting a rock in her sling and charging up slower than normal was deep, or her screaming "I CAN'T!" on the Lucas ending if you didn't kill Hugo in time, you could feel her pain.

I'd be the villain.

[@Tristhaeros]

​@@someguy2272is an easy choice as long as it's not the life of someone you hold dearest in the world. Plus, during the game for most part, Amicia could clearly experience that in general everyone around them was fending for themselves not giving 2nd glimpse for others. Why shouldn't she do the same for herself and her little brother? Finally: she did what had to be done. That's all that counts.

Poor Amicia. I know she's a fictional character but dayum...

Dear Olivier Deriviere, as a simple man from Türkiye, a country not closely connected to European history, your music made me feel like a part of Medieval Europe. I don't know how to explain it, but whenever I booted up the game and heard this tune, I felt like I was being teleported to the middle ages. I bought the game from Vienna on one of my trips about 2 months ago and finished it last night. I must also note that I bought the first game from Montreux... Both countries and cities preserving that Medieval European feel. It's just... Your music made me feel like part of European history. And coming from the citizen of a country that was once striving to be part of the West but is now more Middle Eastern, sadly, this means a lot. Thank you, thank you, thank you for an amazing soundtrack!
