Good music, but Hi Fi Rush deserved it more. I think this won for its popularity as a game, not the musical strength itself.

Fair, but debatable when compared to bombrush cyberfunk or pizza tower.

I mean, if it was a contest between these two it would have been fair, both hi-fi rush and Pizza Tower have incredible soundtrack. TLOU is a remastered game from the 'ol PS3, it shouldn't be here in the first place.

But then again also RDR2 won despite having only his online formula slightly updated every month, so...

Competition was strong. Their music is also very excellent. Genre and personal taste ends up being the decider there.

I don't think taste in music plays much of a role here.
I am absolutely certain that most people just went; "Last of Us nominated, me like game, me vote Last of Us"
Absolutely certain 99% of people that voted couldn't name 3 tracks from the Last of Us OST

Well yes, Steam Awards are a popularity contest, not an effective critic contest.

I mean, look at Starfield...

RDR2 won might be people try to tell rockstar to get off their ass and do something about RDR2 or there might be RDR3 coming. sooo

I'm not sold that the music of this game warranted an award this really should have been hi-fi rush or something that stood out for its music.

[Alpharius]

Funny joke bro

[Cyber Von Cyberus]

Personally I don't think this should've qualified for best OST of 2023, after all this is a remake of an old game. It's like saying Nier Automata should've won this year's best OST award despite being made in 2016.

IKR, Hi-Fi Rush had bangers by NIN, The Prodigy, Zwan and The Black Keys.
Lakia has a spot on soundtrack.
They also released Dwarf Fortress on Steam, and I love that soundtrack lol.

This sounds like a joke.... the game is like 10 years old+ does it have new music? tf... guess i will celebrate my birth when i'm 80 or something...
