Nobody Wants to Die Soundtrack Steam Charts & Stats

[h2]Overall: 8/10[/h2] Let me start by saying: this is a banger of a soundtrack. If you're into moody, introspective noir vibes (think smoky alleyways, flickering neon signs, and rainy city nights) then this OST absolutely delivers on that front. The compositions are genuinely excellent and full of atmosphere that pulls you deep into the world of NWTD. It’s stylish, melancholic, and immersive in all the right ways. That said, while I definitely recommend it, I do have my gripes. First and foremost: the length of the tracks. A majority of the songs clock in at 1:30 or less, with quite a few under a minute. Some even run as short as 30 seconds. This isn’t inherently a problem [i]in the context of the game[/i], where short musical cues serve their purpose well, but when you're sitting down to actually [i]listen[/i] to the OST outside of the game, it can feel disjointed and a bit jarring. Just as you're getting into a track, it ends. It leaves you wanting more, in both a good and somewhat frustrating way. Still, I have to give credit where it's due: even the shortest tracks are crafted with clear intention and care. There’s no filler here; every song feels like it belongs. It’s just a shame we don’t get to sit with them a bit longer. Another downside that bugged me more than I expected: the OST only comes in MP3 format. No WAVs. For most people, that might not be a huge deal, but if I’m going out of my way to BUY a soundtrack, or ANY album for that matter, I expect to have access to the highest quality versions available. The lack of lossless/uncompressed files was a bit of a letdown, especially considering how polished and well-produced the music is overall. However, despite these 'issues', I still think this OST is worth it. It clocks in just under the hour mark (around 57 minutes), and regardless of the the length of each individual tracks, what IS there is immersive, atmospheric, and very well done.

I haven't got the game but I will say the music by itself can tell its own story. That being said the format is Mp3 only Files missing all metadata including album cover (except year it was created :P), so if you don't mind using Snippet & Paint to retrieve copy of cover from Steam, and Mp3tag to manually enter in the metadata then... Quality of Music 8/10 Style: Orchestral Story like the classic films of the 70/80s & Lonely Noir but isn't as techno towards Cyberpunk and Fifth Element. Which is perfect if you could imagine the theme music to Indiana Jones, Laurence of Arabia, E.T. and Close Encounters but fast forward to an era of futurism. Ideally by the titles of the tracks, and some of the reviews, the impression I am getting is that the game appears like that of Blade Runner theme and Ghost in the Shell mixed with BioShock. Especially the track titles. 33 - The Last Droplets of Blood, ("Like Tears in Rain" quoted Roy Batty as the rain ran down his face diluting the bloody cut in BladeRunner 1982) 35 - Rachel (same name of Character in BladeRunner 1982)
