this has been a bit of a ritual for me since... idk, since a long time, where near the end or after the new year i'll listen to the songs from games i've beaten throughout the year and chose my favorites.

while i do enjoy music in general, video game music specifically is really important to me, it lets me reconnect with what i was thinking, with what i felt, with the good and bad parts, it's saved me more than once and i really really enjoy it even if it makes me look like a terrible nerd.

so this year i decided i'm gonna share this here too, it's actually a much better place than twitter to archive it, so i'm also gonna add a bit of my thoughts about each track alongside with a link for it. i'm not super well-versed in music so a lot of my comments won't be much more than a wordier version of "i like it" but that's how it goes sometimes. also shout outs to vgmdb for keeping a good track of soundtrack releases and their composers!!

so in any case, i guess this is also a "games i played in 2023" list but with a bit more.

(also because it's youtube maybe this list will have a lot of broken links in the future, the names of the songs are there so i'm able to replace them if i go back to this)
