Maybe it’s too early to have the last word, there are two months left until the end of the year; nevertheless in the last two days I spent some time to choose the best Video Games Soundtracks of 2018. Famous composer Jessica Curry (Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs, Dear Esther, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, So Let Us Melt) posted a tweet asking for the best OST in the opinion of her folowers; she is going to present on Classic FM the third series of High Score, the radio show about VG OST.

Well, I gathered my memories about the game I played, and spent some time to search the web for good OST of games i’ve not played.

That’s the result; OST are presented in alphabetical order. Maybe i can find new great OST in the last two months of 2018; I’ll keep the article updated.
