I just finished FWest yesterday. I went from Zdawn, straight Into f.west. Zdawn was so much Better…despite the graphics and so much more to do… Zdawn was a spooky NightMare, and this menu music just puts it all together of what the story was about. I feel like they forgot what made Horizon great… and just turned it into a big open world game like any other… Was INCREDIBLE graphics wise
@@Roadwarrior92 I first played this game during the first COVID lockdown here in UK so this music is already nostalgic for that haha this brilliant game got me through those lonely days!
The first time i have discovered this game, i was transported by the atmosphere and the universe of it. Literraly, HZD' s world is fabulous. The story is not so irreal, quite the contrary. I think that the dimension of the story effort in a real vision of what the future could look in several centuries. By the way, when i listen this song, it remind me a sort of mystical feeling. As if my goal is to discover a world that i can't understand. This game is amazing. (Sorry for my english)
I think that too ! It's amazing !!! I mean, how the creators could have done so amazing job !!! I'd like to know who are the writers of this fabulous story ! They are incredible !!!
Forbidden West has some great tracks, but something pulls me back to this. It was a weird time going from depression to learning gratitude, something about this music made me feel uneasy, a little fearful for the future, but preparing to meet it stronger. One of the weirdest feelings ever from a track, still leaves me kind of breathless. It's such a beautiful mix of something more tribal with subtle metallic hints.
I agree with the others it was hard to find but I’m glad someone also appreciates this music. I’d often let the menu linger sometimes just to listen to it. Thank you very much for 1: uploading this and 2: for sharing passion that this is a awesome game!!! Love Aloy and Teersa :)
I'm so glad you uploaded this soundtrack from HZD, when I first looked it up a while back when the game came out I couldn't find it anywhere, then one day I came across this. When I heard it on the game I loved it immediately & had to find it. It's so relaxing, I even use it to help me fall asleep sometimes lol. Ever since I found it I've revisited it multiple times to have something calming to listen to. Thanks for posting the song. :)
I agree...it's ironic how relaxing it is compared to actually playing the game: white-knuckle terror!! My War Bow's out of ammo! Where's my Ropecaster?! Aghghggh!
I always wonder how you guys find the time to complete a game more than one time? I have so many games completed on PS4 but never more than once, even those that I absolutely love.
@@phil_5430 imo it's almost impossible to complete only one time a game that you really loved playing through, for me is the last of us and god of war 3, finished those more than 8 times.
@@phil_5430 only game I’ve ever played through more than once is LastofUs 1&2. You literally can’t fully upgrade your gear, and win at everything unless you replay. And that game was so g’damn good I didnt mind
@@andre_sw8114lmao, ive beaten kingdom hearts 2 like, 25+ times, and i have almost 2k hours on it alone with my ps4 and pc playtime combined. i am not ok.
My boyfriend is a gamer and he had to finish it completely. It took him a while... But I remember getting chills everytime he paused the game and this would start playing. I am Native. It just sounds so.... Right. Is that weird?
Whenever hear this track the nostalgia hits me like a freight train it gives me chills even, I played this game in a darker and different part of my life before middle school, now I'm going into highschool.
The part of this game that fascinates me is the fact that most post apocalyptic games aren’t technically the end of the world, but HZD takes place several hundreds of years after all biomass on earth was consumed by the faro robots, meaning the literal end of all life on the planet, and instead of preventing that from happening, they put contingency plans in place that would survive after the extinction of all biological life in the world... leading to techno tribal cultures that thrive in a world that they barely understand out of superstition, it just sits really well with me and I am glad I got to experience this game, not just play it
One year later and I still keep coming back to this. Never gets old hearing it and have to say Horizon Zero Dawn still impresses me to this day. Just goes to show how a video game can be viewed as a form of art and expression like a well made movie or book can. The music in this game is hauntingly beautiful and the story is one almost anyone can relate to. Thank you again for posting this! I’ve used it several times at work ( I wear a sand blast suit ) so it’s nice to have something peaceful playing in my helmet. Like others have said it’s a nice change of pace to have something peaceful playing and really puts your current thoughts into perspective. Again thank you!!!! And hearing that voice / sound at 2:14 is probably the favorite part of it
@@RL33APRO Good choice :) Got it right at release day the Limited Edition and man this game brought my love for games back. Now I'm waiting for the PC version for a second playtrough.
This track has caught the spirit of what Zero Dawn feels like better than any other. Maybe Aloy's theme comes close, but this track here is just different. It is a little bit disconnected (as a menu theme should be) and etheral. It sounds ancient but futuristic at the same time and when you first discover the great secret of project Zero Dawn and go back to the menu the first time, this track really hits with its full power. The tracks that play in the Gaia Prime ruins are also great. I think they are called "Territory of None" and "A Wanderer's Work".
I have been looking for this everywhere but couldn´t find it... Finally when I did, I notice I´ve already liked this before and found it, I had just forgotten... lmao
omg i hope this too. Because this music really makes the first game horizon, as well as unique. But, hopefully the whole original soundtrack has stayed untouched
Bro when i first opened the map in the new game i immediately knew something was missing. This is just so nostalgic and atmospheric. Indeed pretty upsetting
@@g_g7842 For context, HZD launched a year after my mother passed. The lore in HZD has a lot to do with mothers and their very specific kind of love for their family and the sacrifice they make to bring forth life multiple times in a single life time. So the story hit me hard.
yeah it's a great track i often just sat looking at the map screen listening to this :) have you completed the game yet ? i'm looking forward to the DLC for it should be out in september i think
Why is this NOT in Forbidden West for the character menu?! I noticed it was missing once I opened the character menu for the first time and I was sad. So much for nostalgia:(
Well here I am again revisiting my past self comments on this video and my opinion has not changed. After watching ChristopherOdd TH-camr do a blind play through back during release… when he paused the game and said wow this was a big map then slowly zoomed out the part of track like at 7:05 played I was just blown away by this music. So simple but so haunting at same time. It’s the same with the “ Prey speaker music “. Again simple but in preys case puts into perspective a “ safe haven “ first area I heard it was Morgan’s office. Not to go off on massive rant but wanted to thank Aukje again for posting this! I was not as impressed with new game compared this one but I feel like most things “ new ghostbusters “ new “ red dawn “ doesn’t hit the same as the OG😅 Again just an opinion it’s not the Bible but this game was way better as far as character development and story. I first hated Silens with a passion and wanted to kill him but the more he progressed I grew to understand “ the enemy of my enemy “ persona of him. That’s amazing storytelling… to make the player think one thing then provide new “ evidence “ and let them draw own conclusions Sorry to rant Just know I still appreciate your upload! And since you have played final fantasy a bit I want to recommend Metro Exodus to you
Thank you so much for uploading this. Wondering if this song has a name and if anyone has a high quality recording of it? How can they forget to add the best song in the OST? *facepalm*
It's so strange, when I played this game I always felt like it was far cry primal but 13,000 years later and when I listen to this song it reminds me of Takkar and the wenja tribe, and all the other tribes and how their time has passed.
I remember pausing the game and struggling a lot to resume playing thanks to this music. Its an odd mix, makes you feel calm and uneasy at the same time.
ANGEL I am from Oregon and would agree... except I also lived in Colorado and, in the spirit of the game, this will always give me a Colorado feeling since Nora territory is along the Front Range of Colorado.
I really love this track. That said i kinda wish they just kept exploration music going when opening the menu. It always starts form the beginning and gets a bit stale after a while. Hzd has 4 hours of ost thats alot i think ive heard about 1-2 hours of it.
Ahhh so much memories. I remember playing the game for the first time and not really enjoying it, probably because of the lore, I wanted to learn more about it. Then I played until the half of the game and knew about the project zero Dawn and the way the world ended, eaten by machines. It blew me away, because it felt so real and i got the feeling such thing could definitely happen one day. Now I can’t wait the play forbidden west
I was so hyped to get Forbidden West on Day one but the release date is one month after Elden Ring so I'm gonna have to get Elden Ring day one and wait for HFW at sale.
É um detalhe tão bobo mas ainda assim sensacional. Uma música com ar tribal quando vc abre o mapa desse jogo é muito melhor do que o silêncio. Torço que esses detalhes apareçam em mais jogos além de HZD e Hogwarts Legacy
I'm so disappointed HFW doesn't have this track. I know it's just a small thing but damn I loved this ambiance
100% agree dude. This song just wakes a special feeling in me Im unable to describe

Yeah I really hoped this song was played when I open the map 😢
Agree!
i played this so much during quarantine, staying up all night sipping tequila. memories…
I love that in 10 years this song is going to give me so much nostalgia
yes...
It's already giving me nostalgia

@@BicMacAndChips1 gaming saved my sanity
I would say 3 years this game brings nostalgia instantaneously
It is an actual crime this doesn't play in HFW’s pause menu, theres just so much nostalgia in this track.
I was sad that FW doesn't have amazing trance inducing music like this
True that's unfair it would be so cool to hear it again
Please, no…
I don’t want it.
The first time i have discovered this game, i was transported by the atmosphere and the universe of it.

I think that too ! It's amazing !!!
I mean, how the creators could have done so amazing job !!!
I'd like to know who are the writers of this fabulous story !
They are incredible !!!
Agreed 100% brother, game transports you to another realm and has a level of immersion that very few games can accomplish.
Thats what I feel like every time I hear this song it brings me to want more knowledge, the mystery, and explore more.

Playing this at night in the summer with the AC turned on feels so fucking good.

Forbidden west 9/10 because the lack of this menu music.
I had a really bad anxiety attack a few years back and this menu helped me get through it.
Ooohhh so much nostalgia! This was my first ps4 game that I played.
Nostalgia for a three year old game. Hmmmmm...
@@DNPinthePP yes. There's no questioning.
@@DNPinthePP The nostalgia for a game can be affected by a persons general life, like, A LOT.

Hopefully there's no Faro plague in that time lol
I hope Forbidden West has great pause music.
Agreed 👍
The only pause/menu screen music that can compete with this is the one from Legend of Dragoon. I wish more games did this.
It's incredible how simple this is but so damn good
Definitely a very relaxing and soothing sound to listen to in the game
Nostalgia. Really loved Zero Dawn. Can't wait for Forbidden West
Two days, ready? u.u
Very bad game the second one... a shame.
@@AnthonyLaibStudio hell no
This song can put me to sleep...
This song also reminds me of a small town in Oregon. Nostalgia feelings
this always reminds me of the PS4 background music
me too! and it all reminds me of when i got my ps4 and bought horizon.
I played it in 2017 and loved this song
I remember when my dad was playing this game when I was 9 and I heard this specific song from the game, so many memories.

Memories of Junior year at Uni. Wow, time flies.
I remember pausing the game and struggling a lot to resume playing thanks to this music.
Its an odd mix, makes you feel calm and uneasy at the same time.
Beautiful music, nostalgia 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
This music is one of the things the first game did better than the sequel
i would literally pause the game just to listen to this
the game is truly an amazing experience. along the lines of witcher 3, dying light or resident evil 4
Hearing this gives me so much nostalgia. Remembering the good old days
Hate that they didn't put this on forbidden west or something similar to it on the map screen
I want this music to be played on my grave. You can't get more peace of mind other than listening to it.
This music is the closest thing to sleeping near a laundromat in a dimly lit room
wow instant chillout! So magic....
I'm mad that they didn't include this music to HFW
I remember one time falling asleep while staying in this menu
it was so relaxing lmao
thanks uploader! now it is sold on PC, I can start the game only to enjoy the music of menu! XD
The chimes are beautiful! and what truly does it for me
3 years ago I got this game and I just don't regret it
is it just me or does this sound really similar to the main menu music in Nier: Automata?
Josh Searl I don't know that :)
Just you
Not just you, don't worry, songs are very similar 👍
It's very similar with the song in "El hoyo", a netflix movie.
Ever just start the game from where you left off and just let this theme rock
This is currently my life
Just starting playing this game. This music is sooooo similar to the RE4 save music.

Exactly whats needed for good quality sleep
Enigmatic and magical, just like everything else in this game
Sounds very much like an Inon Zur song from Fallout Tatics (I think). but this is so much better. Thank you.
reminds me of the 1st fallout shady sands theme a lot!
Holy shit I got goosebumps from that first few seconds.
I really love this track. That said i kinda wish they just kept exploration music going when opening the menu. It always starts form the beginning and gets a bit stale after a while. Hzd has 4 hours of ost thats alot i think ive heard about 1-2 hours of it.
Perfect music for programming!
NOSTALGIA
💔💔
I didn’t really even notice this menu music until one day I was on way too much Robitussin and it just hit me how creepy it was hahahaha
Does someone know if it's in the original soundtrack? I can't finde it and i have the full OST :/
No, unfortunately not included :(
Imagine a important person in a film diyng whit this music
Love it.

Feel, like i've passed it in far 2013, not in 2018...That sounds so nostalgic...
