The Best...Gaming Soundtracks for Studying

Studies have shown that gaming soundtracks are one of the best things to listen to while studying. This is because they're meant to enhance your concentration without breaking it while you play your game.
So here's my list of the best gaming soundtracks for studying, to help you kick that chemistry final in the butt!

Final Fantasy
The great thing about franchises this big is that there's literally a song for every occasion. Especially studying. Lot's of piano featured in this mix.
Favorite Track: 1000 Words

Assassin's Creed: Black Flag
If you like to study to something with more of a beat, check this OST out. It's full of crescendos and battle themes to get you motivated!
Favorite Track: A Pirate's Life
Find it here

Mass Effect 3
Falling somewhere between the first two soundtracks is Mass Effect 3, a grab bag of quiet tunes (For example An End Once and For All) and the more powerful 'let's save the world' music (Like Reaper Chase). This soundtrack isn't as long as the other two, but you'll probably want to put it on replay anyways for the amazingly emotional tracks.
Favorite Track: End Credits
Find it here

Neverwinter Nights
This old school RPG features some fantastic study music from all different types of instruments. Keep an eye out for lot's of harp and flute.
Favorite Track: Forest Day 1

If nothing on this list caught your fancy, why not check out 8tracks.com? Just search for study + gaming and you'll get a whole hoard of playlists premade for your listening pleasure. Here are two of my favorite video game soundtrack playlists!

Above the Dreamy Clouds - A mix of Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, and Studio Ghibli classics, with a few lesser known tunes.
Good Night Animal Crossing - Some of the best music from across all the Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon games. (Warning: May cause sleepiness).

Happy studying!
