“Sound design and music make up the majority of the gaming experience; thus, for many, a superb soundtrack can be as powerful as a video game’s images,” a spokeswoman for Solitaire said. “With 101 songs, Undertale’s 8-bit-styled soundtrack clocks more tracks than any other game album on our list. ‘Undertale’ rightly wins the top place.”
