There are plenty of games that have been improved by their soundtracks. The radio stations in Grand Theft Auto games have become an iconic part of the series, and the orchestral swells that accompany epic battles in God of War amplify its action. The creepy vibes of Lavender Town in Pokemon have become the stuff of urban legends, meanwhile the soundtracks of Sonic the Hedgehog games are enough to trigger nostalgia for many. With Death Stranding, Hideo Kojima demonstrates silence can be just as powerful.
