Synth music style invented around 30 years ago on technology that didn't exist a generation ago: "This sounds old-fashioned, the developers need to evolve."pronounjak

Orchestral music played on instruments that have existed for thousands of years, in a style that's existed for hundreds: "Finally, a modern sounding ost!" so-true

Soundtracls that stand out were fallout, Halo and Diablo 1+2 each fairly unique sounding for their time

Problem with Orchestral is that there are a lot of mid compositions and a lot of the music can be forgetable. Doom 2016s soundtrack was a breath of fresh air at the time along with Warhammer 40k Mechanicus' being a more recent standout

Not that you can't have good Orchestral music, I miss when you would have a little more variety in what you hear and sometimes the soundtrack can be fairly unique because it does something different.
