Sound plays a vital roll in any game. Dance games go without saying but what about action or shooters or horror games? Forget about it. Players have to know where shots are coming from, what was that thing that just entered the room outside their field of view? What music is used can make or break the story. So, without prolonging it, here are 2010s best best-sounding games!
Winner for 2010
Red Dead Redemption
Red Dead Redemption’s sound effects and soundtrack are both top-notch. The music has the appropriate “old west” theme, and the sound effects are so subtle and appropriate that they make you feel as if you’re actually there.

Runner Up for 2010s Best Sound
Mass Effect 2
Mass Effect 2 has plenty going for it in the gameplay department, but its sound is certainly one of the most memorable aspects. There was plenty of drama in the game, and with a score that bordered on absolutely epic, players felt emotionally connected from start to finish through the tale of Commander Sheppard and the crew of the Normandy.
