I’m taking some vacations! It’s been a while, and I REALLY need it to be able to make it through the end of the year. Worry not: I’ve managed to put together a nice little mixtape.

September was not short on incredible new releases, some of which I had been waiting for for a long time. Take Final Fantasy XVI, for instance! Even though I didn’t like it very much, there are obviously some amazing tracks in there. You’ll also find some pleasant surprises this month, with lesser-known games — and even some that haven’t been released yet!
