Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2 dropped in 2014 across PS3, 360, and PC with a cinematic soundtrack that swings between gothic dread and straight-up action movie energy.

"Carmilla" oozes dark elegance before "Carmilla's Fight" tears it all apart with frantic strings. "The Toy Maker" is genuinely unsettling, this sad music-box quality that does not let you relax. The soundtrack covers a wild range, from the quiet menace of "Descent to the Castle Dungeons" to the absolute chaos of "Titanic Struggle."
Even the credits tracks feel like they earned their runtime. For when you want your Castlevania served with a side of Hollywood-scale drama.
