Tearaway

1. Tearaway

Tearaway's soundtrack stood out to me since so many tracks slowly build up for an audio treat. Pilgrimage is a great example of this. The way it starts with just 2 instruments before kicking up a notch is great. It really complimented the unique nature/feel of the world.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

2. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

Comprised of remixes of older Zelda tunes and new ones, A Link Between Worlds has the right mix of nostalgia and updates to make it a fun soundtrack to listen to. Hyrule Field 2 stands out to me as a grand version of the Zelda theme .

Grand Theft Auto V

3. Grand Theft Auto V

While GTA games have always had great licensed soundtracks, this is the first one to include actual ambient music during gameplay sections. Used particularly well during the heist sections, my personal favorite is A Haze of Patriotic Fervor. It compliments the frantic action paced nature of some of the missions really well.

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon

4. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon

The Main Theme captures the feeling of old 80s soundtracks so well

SimCity

5. SimCity

After hours of waiting and patches and ultimate disappointment one thing that I did really enjoy about SimCity was its fantastic soundtrack.

BioShock Infinite

6. BioShock Infinite

BioShock Infinite probably contains one of my favorite character moments in 2013. Will the Circle be Unbroken's moment of calm and yet subtle hint at the narrative was a perfect choice for the game's soundtrack.

Papers, Please

7. Papers, Please

Nothing says ex-Soviet republic like the theme to Papers Please.
