Our newest Resonance post covers a song from the recently released Kirby and the Forgotten Land, my new personal favorite game in the Kirby series. One of the game’s many positives is its awesome soundtrack and subtle world-building, with prime examples of both being found in the desert known as the Wastes Where Life Began…

Resonance: Stay Out of the Moonlight
A few weeks ago, I decided to revisit the original Psychonauts and see if I could get some of the remaining collectibles that I had missed. While this whole affair was a mixture of fun and aggravating, one of the best parts of revisiting this game revolved around seeking out the PSI cards, challenge markers,…
Resonance: Galleon Galaxy
Being the spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie and sporting the talents of the very same composer, Grant Kirkhope, it’s no wonder the soundtrack of Yooka-Laylee is so darn nostalgic. Yooka-Laylee proved that it’s possible to feel nostalgia for a game within seconds of starting it. From the similar personalities of the game’s titular buddy duo to…
Resonance: Krook’s March
I have Donkey Kong Country 2 on four different consoles, SNES, Wii, Wii U, and now the Switch. Needless to say, the game is a big deal to me. As I replayed the game for the umpteenth time on the Switch, I was reminded of just how amazing the game’s soundtrack is. In fact, this…
Resonance: White Orchard
Inasmuch as Fallout 76‘s version of apocalyptic Appalachia has captured my attention, I’m still trickling through The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. My efforts to remain focused on the main story were so strong there for awhile, and yet…the tug of side-questing and monster hunting has simply been too incessantly interesting to pass up. (Needless to…
Resonance: Castle from Yoshi’s Island
Yoshi’s Island is a charming game from the SNES era that I didn’t get the pleasure of playing until not too terribly long ago. The game’s crayon-like art style and general adorableness pairs well with upbeat music, the likes of which have been stuck in my head thanks to Super Smash Bros long before I…
Resonance: The Abyss
One of my all-time favorite video game series has always been Rayman. The games are seriously some of the most creative and unique out there, from the lush and intricately detailed locations, bizarre creatures, and amazing soundtrack. I have actually already discussed the series’ soundtrack twice before (you can find the links at the bottom…
Resonance: Twin Demons
Okami is one of my favorite games of all time thanks to its unique art style, gameplay, and an amazing soundtrack that includes several of my favorite songs of all time. In the past, I had discussed Wawku Shrine in the snowy land of Kamui. It is here that Ammy encounters some of her toughest…
Resonance: Wawku Shrine
We’ve already written about the Okami soundtrack three times in the past because it’s just that good. Today we’ll be discussing one of my absolute favorite songs of all time, Wawku Shrine. This is the shrine where resides the Twin Demons, two clockwork owls called Lechku and Nechku. Being one of the final locations in…
Resonance: Ghost House
Super Mario World was the Mario game that I grew up with. Though it took many years before I was ever able to actually beat it myself, I still looked back on it with (mostly) fond memories, as a symbol of my childhood, alongside such classics as Donkey Kong Country and The Legend of Zelda:…
