Second year in a row I’m writing about videogame music while Russian genocidal invasion of Ukraine is going on. And this year selection is going to be even more bare than the last year, unfortunately.
Still, there are some great highlights released last year, even if the majority of the list is going to be dedicated to either me replaying older games or talking about re-releases. Also, the most listened soundtrack for me was the music for the upcoming Sherlock Holmes The Awakened, but, of course, I cannot include it, being a lead quest designer of the game -_-.

As usual, I wish I could always link an easy storefront you can buy and listen the tracks on but music industry. At least Bandcamp is, so far, not ruined by Epic acquisition.
