Outland's soundtrack pairs with that gorgeous light-and-dark platformer aesthetic perfectly.

"Crypt of the Ancients" goes full subterranean with deep reverb and these hollow, echoing tones that make you feel buried. The boss tracks like "The Golem" and "The Sisters" bring in heavier percussion and urgency without losing that mystical atmosphere.
Twenty-eight tracks and it never gets stale. If you like side-scrollers with atmosphere thick enough to chew on, Outland's score completely delivers.
