I have a radio station I listen to that specializes in this. But there are some games that work better than others. What first comes to your mind?
Doom or doom eternal.
How do you study when your entire body is urging you to bang your head to the tune?
Zelda botw. Lots of piano mixes on youtube
Paradox games are pretty good (Stellaris particularly)
Portal/Portal 2 aswell
Solar 2 is also a personal fav but hard to find OST other than on YT
Stellaris is quite good for that
Stray has a great soundtrack
The Cyberpunk OST goes crazy, and the Risk Of Rain franchise has some killer stuff.
Depends on a lot of things but for deep focus I like the X3:TC soundtrack
Anything from Supergiant Games
I just make a point to remove the songs with lyrics because lyrics distract me.
“For study” here meaning “to listen to as background music while you are studying?”
I’ve used Satisfactory and Infinifactory’s music for that, both have kind of a “make you feel smart” vibe to them.
FEZ has a great soundtrack. Also Sword & Sworcery.
Hogwarts Legacy (Study Themes from the Original Video Game Soundtrack)
A lot of the Final Fantasy games have Piano Collections albums. I particularly like FF XV.
Something I’ve been using during work these days is Maplestory bgm playlists. Reminds me of my youth, and have a very calming effect on me :)
