Game Informer's Favorite Video Game Music Of 2025
"One of my favorite video game composers, Sam Webster (Grindstone, Reigns: Beyond), teamed up with developer Furcula to tackle the soundtrack and sound design for Morsels. The weird-as-hell creature collecting roguelike is brimming with trippy visuals, and Webster's recognizable sample-heavy sound makes for an excellent pairing. Put on a nice pair of headphones and immerse yourself in the lush synths, distorted bass lines, and saturated drum machines that define Webster's signature style."
"I have always loved the scores of Assassin's Creed, too, as they tend to remix themes and motifs I already love to fit the era of the historical fantasy in which each entry takes place. But The Flight's take on Assassin's Creed music genuinely surprised me - instead of defaulting to familiar melodies played on Japanese instruments, this musical duo mixed modern 808s and production with all sorts of classical Japanese instruments. The result is the most unique-sounding Assassin's Creed score to date."
2025 delivered a rich variety of standout video game soundtracks blending electronic production, synth textures, and traditional instrumentation. Sam Webster collaborated with Furcula on Morsels, producing sample-driven, saturated synths, distorted bass, and punchy drum machines that complement the game's surreal visuals. Olivier Derivière crafted a Southern-inflected score for South of Midnight that merges authentic regional instruments with lyrical storytelling, exemplified by The Tale of Two-Toed Tom. The Flight reinvented Assassin's Creed music by fusing classical Japanese instruments with modern 808s and production techniques. Several major releases combined genre elements to create distinctive, memorable soundscapes.
