No soundtrack does it like Hades 2
I'm still listening to this thing a year later.
Critical Hit discusses the exceptional soundtrack of Hades 2 by Darren Korb. The writer highlights several standout tracks, including Edge of Erebus, Spider Silk, and The Song of Sirens, praising Korb's faithful renditions of mythological namesakes. The writer also commends Scylla and the Sirens' songs, particularly Coral Crown, I Am Gonna Claw (Out Your Eyes then Drown You to Death), Rock and a Hard Place (featuring Charybdis), and Bewitching Eyes.
These tracks are described as excellent and memorable, with Charybdis adding a unique touch with death metal screams. The Titan of Time's boss theme is noted for its clever use of time signatures, while The End of Time features impressive drumming by guest star Louis Cole. The Sightless Shepherd's theme is highlighted as a standout even for a minor boss, with Sam Gendel's saxophone solo earning praise.
Olympus Aflame is described as the perfect encapsulation of Olympus, with Korb's mastery over basic composition leading to impressive tracks like these. Despite Hades 2 not being the first game with such exceptional soundtrack work, the writer states that it feels like the apex of Korb's career so far.
