The Wonders of Wordle

Since new year’s, I’ve been really getting into Wordle with my friends. Or rather, as into it as you can be since that’s the beauty of this phenomenon.

In this post I’ll talk about what Wordle is and why I dig it so much.

My Favorite Video Game Songs #36 – 2021 Edition

I’ve grown to love the tradition of creating these annual OST collections as one of my favorite posts to make. I love the process of notating down some new favorites throughout the year and then pumping this list up to 10 as I listen to some soundtracks I missed at the end.

While 2021 was a great year for gaming, I struggled more than any other playlist putting this one together. Most of the top games of the year in my opinion had soundtracks that just weren’t for me, which is what I used to rely on for filling in the gaps of the list. I don’t gravitate to soundtracks full of orchestral blandness (Hitman 3, It Takes Two, Ratchet & Clank, Psychonauts 2, Forgotten City, Tales of Arise), eeriness (Metroid Dread, Resident Evil Village, Death’s Door, Returnal, Inscryption), or lots of scattered noise (Kena, Shin Megami Tensei 5, Monster Hunter Rise). There were games with licensed music I didn’t want to use (Forza Horizon 5, Guardians of the Galaxy), and some of my favorite songs were from DLC and I wasn’t sure how to represent those in this list so I left them off. Regardless, I’m satisfied with the list.
