If this does not win best score for a video game in 2021 I will be shocked. Absolutely beautiful.

[@Coute]

There are many games with fantastic soundtracks this year.

[@lamortx]

It won't unfortunately, not enough copies sold IMO :x

[@empireofitalypsstimfromano5025]

@@Coute Yeah And Hoi4 Got No Step Back In November And The Soundtrack Was And Still Is "Perfection"

[@cryonim]

Unfortunately games like these don't. I think they just list off the popular games and check their soundtracks, not 'all' games in an year.

[@toto__1926]

sadly game is not good.

[@yanbzd6754]

35:53 Astrea Fled , the best track in my opinion.

[@rpgPalette]

30:06 my favorite part

[@4eRegiment]

01. Humankind (Main Title) [00:00] ---- Best one.

[@rickertvimbrant2002]

reminds me of the summer theme in endless legend.

[@Androzz1]

I'm agree, but I can't get out of my head this part of the track "Eudaimones" 49:40. I really love it

[@rpgPalette]

@@Androzz1 also 8:51 gives me chills and vibe of Skellige regional music in The Witcher 3

[@Cyenjoyer]

And _this_ is the reason why I absolutely love this game

[@guilhermesavian5445]

I was so immersed in the game it actually took my 10 hours of gameplay to realize how mindblowing the soundtrack was

[@Cyenjoyer]

@@guilhermesavian5445 To be fair the SFX sounds are so awesome as well that I don't pay as much attention to the soundtrack as I should either. I saw a documentary about the way they recorded the sounds from real places, reminded me of those of CK3. Lovely work, and it even evolves as the Eras pass on !

[@kevina4998]

When I played Civ V as a kid, I was hopelessly hooked(the UI design, unit art, the glorious brass-filled music, the technologies and city expansions) but couldn’t shake the feeling that some things were missing The era-centric music which Humankind looks to be bringing is definitely a huge check mark from me, I look forward to exploring and discovering what I love in this game too :’)

[@veasnamakara5941]

Now Humankind just needs unit replies in native languages too for full immersion ! (sadly, y Zhou speaking english to me just breaks the immersion the music soundtrack created for me).

[@samuelphillips6984]

@@veasnamakara5941 True, I just turned off the units speaking altogether, but it would have been a nice touch.

[@dahliafenr]

@@veasnamakara5941 I would say not, because almost every kid would be simping for the Roman and destroy the balance lol

[@nikolaiiscoolguyproduction4807]

Civ VI has era music too, so does AoE4. In general history-based strategy games have become more dynamic with soundtracks.

[@user-cc2it7ix5q]

and this will be a Civ IV. Really. Music matching era and audio replies in language of the civilization.

[@ozgunguner]

Arnaud Roy made great job like Endless series.

[@Jaclyn531246]

I never thought I'd be listening to a 4x game soundtrack for fun but here I am 😂 The progression from neolithic to modern makes the game so immersive and exciting. Some of the tracks honestly feels like boss music and it makes your civilization feel so epic. Incredible work!!!

[@john-henric]

Listen to Endless Space 2´s and Endless Legend´s ost too! They also have a bunch of very good tracks!

[@Emanuele246gi]

@@john-henric I also suggest Sid Meier's Civilization VI and Europa Universalis IV

[@gbbarn]

@@Emanuele246gi two different genres but if you have to suggest any civ, I think Civ5 is better than Civ6 specially with "brave new world", I have around 3k hours in Civ5 and close to 500 in civ6, imo both civ4 and 5 are better games than civ6 for a multitude of reasons. You can get Civ5 for a few bucks on sale.

[@Patton1944]

Amongst the Mighty perfectly captures the feel of the industrial revolution. I'm not a music person, so I don't really know the terminology, but up until the time that song plays, all of the music kinda has the same feel to it. Amongst the Mighty immidiately tells you something is different. It's... rythm? is just so different from all the prior pieces you get used to when you play. It's got this energy to it that screams "rapid change." But at the same time, it's got elements that link it to the music you would have gotten used to. At the beginning it uses the lovely vocals, as if the old culture is trying to find its way in this new environment, and then the fast paced into immediately slows down and we get a section that sounds much more like the earlier music (the longer draws on the strings, the woodwinds, the vocals go back to how they normally behave), like the some of the world hasn't quite been touched by the winds of change, or perhaps as some effort to hold onto the past by those caught in the midst of it, but then there it is again. Progress won't be stopped. Can't be stopped. It picks up again. This new world that we find ourselves in that completely uprooted everything before it is here to stay. But then, at the end, the same energy is there, but it feels less chaotic, like people have come to understand it and accept it. Some of the past has been integrated into the present.

[@ishnu7988]

I really like Eudaimones 47:18 :) it’s outro is so deep I can’t even explain it how happy it makes me. This game has really good musicians and the composer did a hell of a job

[@marekkos3513]

this is one of the most beautiful sundtrack ever made

[@chl2161]

The game itself is hard to take a break because it's easy to lose track of the time. Now you put on one of the best soundtracks I've seen, the breaks doesn't exist or you do it with headphones on.

[@edgarbh01]

Came here for “Amongst the Mighty”. Epic track! 1:00:17

[@traumateaminternational4732]

Showing all of the moving parts that went into creating this makes it ten times better! I truly believe Arnaud Roy may be the new Jeremy Soule.

[@sg1aprophis]

55:03 Deus Ora Movet... what a Track!

[@kingfish2703]

"Astrea Fled" is the most beautiful song I've heard in years!

[@lavrenzo84]

9:20 is the best , especially 12:35 ;] 1:09:00 beautiful, and epic !.Its a little bit like Mass Effect

[@voidsentoni5977]

I know this studio from Endless Space, they make soothing uplifting tracks. I love playing grand strategy with music like this!

[@devsv_9132]

The music with choir that gives me goosebumps when playing the game man. Dang what a great history game, makes me really put in that some role then and look at us. We're here behind the laptop. Can't believe it all happened, and we're living now our life in peace.

[@aneru9396]

Arnold Roy is simply magic for coming up with these pieces

[@KameSensei]

This is my first 4x game and now Im just playing it for the music! It feels like humankind could be described with these songs.

[@Morden97]

1:00:17 "Amongst the mighty" is my favorite... just love it

[@sagebrushrepair]

Arnaud you ruined my spotify wrapped it's nothing but this soundtrack and it only came out 2 months ago. I demand you continue making music as long as you POSSIBLY CAN. I love your style and your arrangements.

[@yodapima35]

A great soundtrack, rich in its variety and profoundness !

[@mexicanbanjo9325]

So glad I preordered the game a while back. Definitely worth it. Amazing game + amazing soundtrack = playing too much and ignoring my coursework for class.

[@arrisan8283]

but you will have a good note in the music class, you will be like "na doesn't sound right, add more of this and that"

[@rpgPalette]

Oblivion, Skyrim, The Witcher 3, KIngdom Come, Civ V and VI, Assassins Creed II, Cuphead, Cyberpunk, Detroit BH, Hotline Miami and this goes to my list of the best game soundtracks ever created. Folk instruments + Choir + Orchestra = BEST GAME OST AWARD 2021.

[@gigatrihard8607]

Its great just one small sidenote,I played all Civ games and the best music, by far, is from Civ 4. It directed me into classical music and I don't think I would got into pure choral music without it.

[@123corsar]

If you like that sort of game music, I recommend looking up the soundtracks of the game "Endless Legends", it has a lot of stuff similar to this.

[@luisromero6434]

Listen to Hollow Knight soundtrack. I really love Sealed Vessel and Nightmare KIng.

[@Heruwath007]

Endless Legend!

[@Villalbacon]

Try Divinity original sin 2 soundtrack. Just DO IT. Thank me later

[@pakostnik730]

Боже, какие же кайфы я ловлю с этой музыки! В очередной раз готов купить игру только из-за саундтрека.

[@MisiekZsokolowki]

Ты прав. Шикарная музыка. Это побуждает вас смотреть в зеркало.

[@sae4622]

This is *MASTERPIECE* !!!

[@DeviousAzza]

the end of 'Videte Gigantem' and 'Dues Ora Movet', and then the build-up song 'Mercury'. Wow. Could be the best pieces of music I have heard in a video game (since 1990)

[@Thomas-uy4vn]

Every track is awesome but Mercury is on another level, this is stellar !

[@t.wcharles2171]

Just like the real Mercury Ps that be a space joke there boyo

[@West996]

how music like this is written just leaves me in awe, I love to see the singers smile as they sing. They can't help it, its so epic.

[@MedicineMan55]

Mercury is a really strong track. Good ost overall, but that one really stands out to me.

[@SEIKILO]

amazing work and music!

[@DavidJevon]

"Hidden Soul" will stir yours.

[@looxlike]

soooo amazing, goose bumps all over

[@XRayXHyperX]

This soundtrack is truely amazing in so many ways, the manner in which it sets the tone through-out the game and encourages you to think. The depth of the music and the way it applies to the setting is as if it's made for eachother. ~ I have only seen this in few titles, Hades or WoW for example. Please keep doing this, it shows how relevant a soundtrack can be to the overall experience !

[@dawutz3953]

BRAVO!

[@eule-vas9424]

pretty great job Arnaud!!!

Nailed it.

[@sophiesouza454]

I absolutely love this soundtrack!! Haven't had a chance to listen to it all yet, but does this include each of the different culture's songs? It doesn't seem that way but it would be amazing to hear them too. Amazing job by Arnaud Roy, I can't imagine how much work went into composing all of these! Thank you so much!

[@viliamtencer]

This is for me, ... one of the best master piece ever ... feeling so free so connected to humankind ... great!!

I'm sometimes wondering; why Denis Villeneuve didn't take Mr. Roy (perhaps along with Paul Ruskay, who did soundtrack to Homeworld) to make Dune soundtrack? Everybody in cinematography industry in US seems to be too reliant on Hans Zimmer... :P Anyway - always good to hear the top notch quality music, even in game being (finally) a worthy contender against the Civilization. :D

[@xeov12jr10x]

Possibly one of the greatest OST in a videogame I have ever HEARD!

[@twiglets2]

An awesome soundtrack by any standards, but works particularly well for this game. The way the music fits perfectly when you choose a new culture, giving you a sense of progression through the game and keeping things fresh. I tip my hat to all those involved.

Music tell story.... but with a game, you live the story

Mercury.

[@cadillac.krafter.6279]

I've sunk hundreds of hours into this game, and it confuses me so much to find out how little people actually still play the game (800 regularly), since its pretty much civ 6 but so much better in every single way.

[@emilioliano9411]

I came back to play it recently. I think the problem was a rocky start. A lot of people, included me, were allured by the outstanding idea and art behind the game, but left after finding the execution was swallow. Now going back to the game I think it is really fun, and the game has been explored a little bit more.

The 'citera' at the end of Oracles is absolutely masterful. It's an old Hungarian instrument, which means it probably came from Mongolia originally. It makes my soul want to hunt down people from horseback armed with an early shortbow.
