Games with no soundtracks, only ambiance sounds.

im pretty sure there was a song of some sort in it, but RIVEN was mostly ambiance if i remember correctly. and awesome ambiance at that. i spent the whole game thinking something was going to jump out at me, and then even when it became clear that there was no one else on the island, i still felt deeply concerned

Tenchu 2 has music though, there just isn't constant music in the background but you have the short music piece when the alert mode stops, boss battle music and event music during cutscenes.

They kind of dropped the ball with Tenchu 2; the first one had this awesome expressionistic atmosphere, but both the art and sound design in the sequel feel very bland in comparison

That's what made the atmosphere so great. The "music" was mostly tapping on drums or chimes, really chill and unobtrusive. Love this game.

inb4 that one moron who thinks all Jaguar games have no music.

There's definitely a lot of music in Riven, but it's not as present as the music in most games is.
It's worth checking out the soundtrack, particularly 'Fissure'.

>> No.3508529

Tomb Raider was known for its minimal use of music. If music played, it was a big deal.

Sometimes music ruins the atmosphere. In heretic and hexen, I disable music to listen to environmental noises.

Bullshit. Music literally does what nothing else can. Granted a combination is the best.

It depends, as far as atmosphere goes, it's not what's playing, it's when it's not playing.

In Majora's Mask, after you beat the Ikana Castle and learn the Elegy of Emptiness, the castle music stops because you purified it.

Rad Racer. Until your thumb accidentally bumps the down direction on the d-pad slightly and the horrible "radio" turns on out of nowhere and distracts you at just the right time for you to fly off the road into a goddamn sign and crash.
