A spokesperson from Solitaired commented on the findings: “Sound design and music make up for a large proportion of the gaming experience, so for many a strong soundtrack can be just as impactful as a video game’s visuals.
“Undertale deservedly takes the top spot, its success coming in part due to the extensive 101 songs that make up its 8-bit styled soundtrack, clocking more tracks than any game album in the list.
“Minecraft appears to have the most consistently popular soundtrack, with the most plays on average per track, suggesting the individual songs also serve as great standalone compositions.”
