Checking the Score: OneShot
Video game soundtracks often want to be bold in their brilliance. Challenging, dynamic, at times direct — sometimes a little left-field at points, which isn’t a bad thing. But for a genre with such a low commercial and listener base (at least lower than other genres such as classical music or rock music), it’s pleasing to see the broad spectrum that is ambient music being used to explore one particular shade of the dark. But rather than malice or malevolence, OneShot’s score treats its World without light with respect, but with an unsettling air of mystery throughout.
