I have a radio station I listen to that specializes in this. But there are some games that work better than others. What first comes to your mind?
I listen to the Diablo 2 & 3 or Skyrim OST when reading.
I wrote both my bachelor’s and master’s thesis to Watch The Skies from Skyrim on loop. Yes, the same track all day for weeks.
Depends on a lot of things but for deep focus I like the X3:TC soundtrack
Stellaris is quite good for that
I use Wh40k: Mechanicus & Ixion
Something I’ve been using during work these days is Maplestory bgm playlists. Reminds me of my youth, and have a very calming effect on me :)
Anything from Supergiant Games
I just make a point to remove the songs with lyrics because lyrics distract me.
Doom or doom eternal.
How do you study when your entire body is urging you to bang your head to the tune?
Hogwarts Legacy (Study Themes from the Original Video Game Soundtrack)
A lot of the Final Fantasy games have Piano Collections albums. I particularly like FF XV.
Distant Worlds albums are great orchestral versions of Final Fantasy themes. I use them at work when I need to concentrate and block out my peers.
“For study” here meaning “to listen to as background music while you are studying?”
I’ve used Satisfactory and Infinifactory’s music for that, both have kind of a “make you feel smart” vibe to them.
Tunic has an excellent soundtrack that’s one of my favorites for work music. https://invidious.reallyaweso.me/watch?v=nnvjKf_mRYM
Stray has a great soundtrack
Zelda botw. Lots of piano mixes on youtube
It’s relaxing until the Guardian music kicks in!
Crono Cross, anything from monster hunter Tri and up.
