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 was playing the Stardew Valley OST at work this week. That’s music to get shit done at a relaxing pace.
Zelda botw. Lots of piano mixes on youtube
It’s relaxing until the Guardian music kicks in!
Doom or doom eternal.
How do you study when your entire body is urging you to bang your head to the tune?
Tunic has an excellent soundtrack that’s one of my favorites for work music. https://invidious.reallyaweso.me/watch?v=nnvjKf_mRYM
Paradox games are pretty good (Stellaris particularly)
Portal/Portal 2 aswell
Solar 2 is also a personal fav but hard to find OST other than on YT
Stellaris is quite good for that
Anything from Supergiant Games
I just make a point to remove the songs with lyrics because lyrics distract me.
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.
My brain autofills in dragon roars when listening
Depends on a lot of things but for deep focus I like the X3:TC soundtrack
I use Wh40k: Mechanicus & Ixion
Crono Cross, anything from monster hunter Tri and up.
Stray has a great soundtrack
The Cyberpunk OST goes crazy, and the Risk Of Rain franchise has some killer stuff.
FEZ has a great soundtrack. Also Sword & Sworcery.
