Dark Souls III's Nameless King (or rather, the first part of the fight with the King of the Storm) still gives me chills when I listen to it:

The second part of Ludwig the Accursed from Bloodborne is one of my favorite pieces of game music ever

Speaking of which, here's a live recording! The music of Bloodborne was masterfully assembled, and the fact that it's all recorded by a real orchestra definitely shines through.

Jesus christ that must be stressing to play, I tense up just by listening to it. It's such a dramatic and dark theme. :magical:
