Review: Tree of Savior – Silent JULY 2020 OST Collection

This time we take a look at the “Silent” July 2020 soundtrack release for Tree of Savior. Fortunately it’s not silent, although it is a lot more mellow than other releases. You can catch up with all the Tree of Savior reviews here.

The album opens with acoustic guitar and male operatic vocals in “Deives Velliava” before moving on to the aptly titled “Sad feelings” with somber strings and piano, the powerful and moving “Snow Hill,” and the reflective “Beautiful Than Flowers.” There’s a lovely music box track with “DayDream,” the contemplative and frosty “Consistency,” the somber-yet-hip “Eclipsed Road,” the sweeping “Orsha,” and the more pop-flavored “Amaranto.” “Milden Miles” adds dancy piano to melancholy strings, “Journey in Heaven” sports angelic choir and funky bass, “November Rain” comes as a relaxing flamenco style track, and “Tiger Cherish” is a powerful and lovely English ballad.

In all, the “Silent” collection differentiates itself quite nicely and is available on YouTube and Steam.

I had the opportunity to review the original Diablo III soundtrack, and I noted that while it was great in its own right, it didn’t feel like it belonged to the Diablo universe.

Diablo III: Repear of Souls takes a different direction, with composer Derek Duke acting as audio lead, allowing for a new soundscape to unfold.

Does this change have a lasting impact on the score? Read our full review below. Continue reading Review: Diablo III: Reaper of Souls
