This might sound a bit random, but Cyberpunk 2077 has this sort of warmup sound that plays through the game startup sequence that always gets me relaxed or psyched up to play. Another example is the title song in Trails from Zero. Calms me every time.
Whether it’s a sound effect, music, or a loading screen, is there a game that does this for you immediately when you open it?
Another one for Cyberpunk. Its the only game I put my hearing aids in to play 100% of the time and sometimes I’ll just sit at the main menu until the music loops.
Done that more than a few times. Great soundtrack all around. Best loop I’ve ever heard for a character creator too, by a mile.
The Dark Souls Character Creation Music is still my personal favorite.
