Importance of Music in Games
I have three questions. You may answer only the ones you care to answer, or all of them.
Firstly, how important is music in videogames to you? Does it not matter, is it a nice icing on the cake, is it a pretty big deal but ultimately unnecessary, or does it make or break a game for you?
Secondly, let's say you hear a song that blows you away and you absolutely love it, whether it's exciting, dramatic, chilling, emotional or beautiful. However, you've either never seen gameplay from the game it's from, or you have and weren't interested in it. Does that amazing music you heard make you want to love the game, or want to try it?
And lastly, what are some games with incredible music? Are those games some of your favorite, or do you simply enjoy the music? Do you feel the music changed your view on those games? Maybe share a specific song?

If Bloodborne, Danganronpa, or Mario didn't have soundtracks of any kind, they would have felt completely different. The Upper Cathedral Ward wouldn't have felt as ominous, the Classroom Trials would have lost their sense of urgency and progression, and Mario would have lost... well, most of its identity. The soundtrack is just as important as the art style, gameplay, and text. They all have to come together as one to make a game.
