The game makes some well meaning attempts to add musical sections which sadly often fall flat due to an overall janky feel. This is overshadowed by its amazing cinematography however.

The ending sequence makes some clever use of a well known classical piece of music, integrating it into the gameplay in a fun way.

The drums and percussion heavy - or rather only - soundtrack is incorporated into the game in reaction to the character's actions, enhancing the fast and hectic emotions during the escape even more.

While in this 1-bit coloured, investigative tale, music is mostly used as a background element, sometimes is it very cleverly intertwined in the menuing and adapts to the speed of the player there.

The electronic soundtrack of the game is building up along with your progression.

One of the earliest synesthetic musical game experiences is now available on the PC.

While binaural audio has been around for decades by now, the gaming industry only now is taking advantage of it. Hellblade incorporates binaural audio into the narrative design of the game smoothly.

Actions in the gameplay are synced up in the music's rhythm to merge into an intense and fast and fluid experience.

In the days of MIDI, adaptive soundtracks were very easy to achieve - which this game does heavily. I will miss this sound in Remastered.

The sounddesign and very menacing background soundscape are a crucial part to the gameplay experience of this twin stick shooter.
