BAFTA Games In Concert AUDIO ONLY (31/Jan/26) [London Premiere]

Описание: Happy International Video Games Day!!!

I'm not a gamer by all means but I do enjoy the music from video games, and hearing a whole night of BAFTA-winning video game music in the heart of London sounds fun! Admittedly I only wanted to go to this concert because Cuphead is part of the programme and that's the only game I've played in this list, so on a personal note the concert ended with a bang!

Regardless of being a non-gamer, I had a lot of fun at the concert! Most of the music performed was my first experience listening to them, especially Everybody's Gone to the Rapture which got me emotional looking at the gameplay footage of a completely empty world (but I didn't cry!) Occasionally on the screen there was footage of a musician/singer that the orchestra had to be in sync with, that must've taken a lot of practise to get it right during rehearsals!

The one criticism I can give this concert is that there was no encore. As much as I liked to have Cuphead be the "official" finale, the orchestra did NOT squeeze in one more game. How disappointing was that?! If I had to choose one Best Music BAFTA winner I'd go for Okami, which is also another game I played!

Overall, I had a fun time listening to some award-winning video game music! Despite no encore it was a fantastic celebration of 20 years of BAFTA Games! Not sure if they'll have a "back by demand" performances next year because I would certainly come back for a second time, but that's why I audio record these things to keep reliving the experience as many times as I want!

Enjoy!
