I can't be the only one who just spent hours scanning for resources and reading the flavor text for all the planets.

Always love the galaxy map music. Hackett out.

I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favourite tune on the Normandy.

If the universe had a theme, this would be it.

*probe launch sound* EDI: Really, commander? *probe launch sound* EDI: Probing Uranus

This is actually the music you hear in outer space.

2010. Ten years later i reflect back on how much playing this game was like being on an adventure. I'll never forget it. So much good feels. Why cant games be like this anymore....

While it is a shame I missed out on the height of Mass Effect...I am so glad I dived into Mass Effect with the legendary edition this December of 2022...This game is a blessing, and it's such a vibe for me this Christmas. I am very late, but words cannot express how happy I am playing these games now. Mass Effect is truly one of the greatest games of all time.

i am 40 and this just reminds me i will never get to experience space travel in my lifetime, mass effect is the closest thing i will get to experience space travel.

Ohgawd. I was working at EA Vancouver 2010, testing the game for flaws... This brings back good memories 😊

12 years and this game is still amazing

Honestly, no game has been able to touch the Mass Effect trilogy for me on terms of story and immersion. It still bows to no one.

I wish I could have my memory erased just so I could experience this masterpiece of a game for the first time again…

I miss good games like this

I can loop this forever, it's very calming

one of those times where I wish I could forget about the whole trilogy just to play it again for the first time what an experience

I'm 30 this year and not gonna lie this is probably my favorite track ever. Calming yet dynamic, and inspiring.

We got a new remaster coming boys

Best Theme for Studying

believe it or not. i used to spend hours right behind this galaxy map, exploring planets and read about them. it was one of the most fun things i've ever done in any game !

This song is the reason I spent so much time in the map

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that this is in 4/4 time and 3/4 time AT THE SAME TIME?

I remember staying up until 9am in the morning playing multiple playthroughs of 1 and 2. I would binge drink powerade and had a huge collection of empty powerade bottles.

bro. The nostalgia is kicking in. I got the chills

my coworkers know that I am hard at work when this on in my office...

I remember when I was 10 or 11 with this game, got it with the Xbox 360 as it came with it and MW2, oh man do I wish I could travel back in time and relive those moments when games actually meant something and had a meaningful effect, I’m 18 right now and just hearing this as I spend hours on this is such a flashback, no other game will ever beat this...never life was different then now of course as I am now 18, still will forever love this !

My favourite game. In this game, the soul is projected literally in every detail. Everything is done with such respect for the player that for me personally, this is the best space trip in the world. I'm glad to be a part of this big boom on game history)))

This and the UNATCO theme will forever be in my head.

Mass Effect 2 was my first foray into the series and I never fell in love with a world as fast as I did this one

Started replaying Mass Effect again, oh the memories!

I love how map music became an art form in video games.

Move your mouse back and forth on the video's timeline

I didn't realize how much I've missed this.

I can recall many a time when I fell asleep on the the couch while playing this game and listening to this music. My mind refused to stop playing, so I would just sit in this mini menu contemplating my next space jump. Eventually, I would succumb to exhaustion, and would be soothed to sleep with this melody. I still use this song to help me fall alseep many years later.

I stg I always felt like in mass effect 2s galaxy map there’s a slight addition with the illusive mans theme in the background almost as if it’s engrained into a Cerberus ship. Love it

im on a mission, i gotta go get that money go get it

Damn I just love this game

I've only just started playing mass effect beaten the first one and I regret not playing it sooner one of the best games I've ever played

I used to play this whenever I do my math and science homework in high school many years ago. It gives off the actual feeling of studying like a researcher

Perfect for exploring the night sky full of stars looking for constellations and planets of the Sol system with the Milky Way visible. Breathtaking indeed. 🌌

Some music you can't just get out of your head. This is easily one of my favorites.

Therapist: your not supposed to hear pictures me: sees any picture of space, this song starts in my head

Feels like home.

this makes me calm

No game has come close to how I felt when I finished playing the Mass effect trilogy. In my opinion, it is the best game series out there

I can almost hear the hum of the scanner.

This track was able to put most of the family to sleep. I remember my parents 'letting' us mine planets for them before bedtime knowing half of us would be asleep before we got a turn. The kids were put to sleep, and they got free planetary resources out of it. Well played, mom and dad. Well played.

The feeling you get from these games is something else even all these years later, so glad I got to play through the legendary edition without spoilers.

I always liked space, I played a lot of Kotor and Star Citizen but I had never tried Mass Effect before. Currently I am finishing the 2nd and I must admit that this music is probably the one that leaves me most easily dreamy to the point of sometimes opening the map without moving, just to appreciate it. Mass Effect is truly a video game monument and I really regret not being interested in it when I was younger.

The Mass Effect Trilogy will always be my favourite game series, such a memorable experience with the best cast of characters in gaming history

This and the sound that plays when you select start in ME:2. Still sends chills down the spine.

I’ve never played mass effect, but my dad loves it. He played it a lot when I was younger, and I can remember hearing this so much. Its nostalgic at the fact I’ve heard this so much.

This is what I live for..... ;)

This song takes me back to 2007, 2010, and 2012 when I played the Shepherd Commander games. :) So nostalgic and awesome.

oh the hours that I spent in that galaxy map... thx!!!!!! :)

When the legendary finally comes out I am going to cherrish everything and take my time and enjoy this game for what it really is which is a masterpiece

Remember hearing this tune the first time. I was in awe. And I stayed on scanner even after depleting resources and places to find. Just because of this tune and the atmosphere and vibe. Christ on a crutch, 2010 where did you go? 😢😔

I used to go to the galaxy map and just leave it running when I was studying in law school.

If space travel ever becomes a thing in the near future this has to be the official well known song everyone knows when you hear it, someone is working on a Itinerary from Earth to Mars. An intergalactic flight.!

In my opinion, this is the best video game theme in all of gaming anywhere. There are plenty of amazing themes in gaming that fit really well with the game or certain specific situations, however this one is good on its own and fits that. It conveys the feeling of mystery with a space like rhythm to it in a perfect way of making its very good sounding rhythm that is supposed to be the main beat this. Most gaming themes have a base theme then a lot of different background mini themes that add to the theme as a whole. This theme has that, but it conveys the feel of a mystery and space adventure so well that the mystery part blends perfectly with the space feel to make it sound absolutely perfect and make you sit there and ponder maybe through memories. Or perhaps the meaning of life or what you are gonna do when you grow up etc. it makes you wonder while also making you especially have a fun time exploring while in the world of mass effect, while playing the game. It's feel is like mario galaxy, but instead of calm it's mysterious; making it teach a different lesson than Mario Galaxy. Mario Galaxy teaches you sometimes you need to step back and take a breather whether it be stress, arguing, or even working out or dealing with a problem. This theme alone in Mass Effect teaches you how to wonder what the answer to certain questions are in your life while the feel also inspires you to keep going to see what's next like future of human race, future of your favorite game franchise, future of space travel, future of your family, But most importantly, The future of you

Oh no, why did this have to be the channel trailer... instant involuntary inner contemplation.

This is what the Milky Way sounds like

I came to this video just for nostalgia and forgot it was on in another tab for 10 minutes, it just fits as a sleek audio background so well

Absolute best trilogy ever! I put my heart and soul into this game. Will always be in my top 5

This absolutely beautiful piece of music reminds me of happier times. My first Mass Effect was 2 and the whole adventure, the story, the hidden gems that could be found were fantastic. In my opinion, possibly one of the best game series ever.

Mass Effect gave me so many great memories. I truly love this game with all my heart. Music, Character, Lore, everything about Mass Effect 1 and 2 are amazing. I would literally just listen to this song in game for hours. I remember I would wake up every morning to drink coffee and play Mass Effect. This game is undoubtedly my favorite games of all times.

this game is so nostalgic, so amazing. everything about it was just perfect. a 10/10. even for farming materials the ost was magic. damn time to replay this gem!!!!!

This is the main theme of the game as far as I'm concerned.

This is strangely calming for some reason. When I look at the map I just remember how tiny we are in the universe. just wow

Ahh the nostalgia, the memories of a much simpler time. Like a warm blanket for my soul, nothing calms me down more than this

OMG... I wiped all planets of all systems clean of any valuable materials. Guess how much time that took me. Guess what played during that time. ...and the occasional "probe launched" voice

The build up of great things to come.

It's amazing how the Mass Effect holds up as a coherent trilogy with good writing

Man this really puts me on a nostalgic trip

I cant believe it took me till the trilogy remasters to play this masterpiece

Mass Effect Trilogy is too damn good

I love the Galaxy Map in ME2. So much excitement - so many new worlds! Where shall we head next? Perhaps Illium or the Citadel, or Tuchanka? So many dreams - glorious dreams of worlds filled with ancient secrets of those who have come before us.... Playing this game for the first time was truly amazing.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE

The new remastered is coming out soon so hyped to play through all 3 games again!!

Biiiiiig Tangerine Dream vibes. They absolutely nailed the sci-fi synth tones. Brilliant.

I love this so much. Great for work/study. Mass Effect 2 is one of my favorite games of all time.

Simplistic yet so emotional 😭 2010 was Incredible

Play the song while you're looking at Google maps to look for stuff it's kind of feels like Mass effect except you're not harvesting resources except for enjoyment of your mind I guess.

Literally my soul is singing this ❤️❤️

ME2 even had the best galaxy map, it's insane how perfect this game is.

Yes.... This is peak ambience, right there, with this music in the background I know that everything is within reach... even finishing my thesis. :D Thank you SO much!

Genuinely love how there's at minimum an 80% chance for ME's Galaxy Map theme to be playing in the background of a video featuring any kind of space map.

I remember when I would just sit there and just listen to this music!

Can't comment enough. So thankful you post this content, it's all I listen to at work. Keeps me focused

I love the Normandys. They have such great setting ambiance.

Hello you absolute legends

Games just aren't the same anymore. I haven't felt the way I did playing games in the PS3 era really ever since it came to an end and started the PS4 era.

As everyone knows, everything sounds better in 4K!

I wish I had the technological prowess to turn this into a screensaver

I could listen to this all day long so peaceful

goddamn I need to replay this game for this track alone

I used to look at stars through my telescope at night while listening to this, very authentic!

An ex of mine loved the Mass Effect games and I used to fall asleep to this music nightly whenever he was playing them. Still the most soothing background music to have on (and the games aren’t half bad either).

Nostalgia level getting higher

Forever in my heart, the best game ever !!!
