@Estell Mann, I couldn’t agree more with your thoughts on video game soundtracks. The music from the Halo series, composed by Martin O’Donnell and Michael Salvatori, never fails to transport me to another world. The epic sci-fi score truly immerses you in the game’s atmosphere. If you haven’t listened to it yet, I highly recommend giving it a try!

Any other favorites that give you that immersive experience?

@Estell Mann, I couldn’t agree more about the Skyrim soundtrack. It’s a masterpiece that truly transports you to Tamriel. Another soundtrack that gives me that same immersive experience is The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The music captures the atmosphere of Geralt’s world perfectly. Have you listened to that OST yet?
