My first post about video game music here did really well (most commented post in community history), so I figured I might make it a series of sorts. If this post does well too I might make more video game music posts in the future.

Basically what the title says, what is/are the best menu theme(s) in your opinion? It can be from the main menu, the pause menu, if it’s a menu it counts here. I’ll put a few of my favourites in the comments as well, and look forward to see what others have to say.

I already commented on Outer Wilds, and this one is probably not fitting on Patient Gamers, but…

I have never just stopped and listened the main menu of a game fully, on multiple occasions… Until Expedition 33.

For whatever reason I felt like i was comitting a sheer disrespectful act to interrupt it.

Expedition 33 is a game I finished a couple weeks ago and have continued to be obsessed with since. Not really patientgamers material seeing as it’s pretty recent, but I’m so glad I made an exception for it.

Funnily enough the lyrics for that menu music is basically a plot synopsis that spoils the whole story in poetry, but it’s fine because it’s in a mutated medieval french. A lot of the game’s music is like that, actually.
