Honestly, I disagree with this. Some soundtracks should "go hard", like Doom, Jet Set Radio, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, ULTRAKILL, etc.

SimCity does not need a soundtrack that goes hard, nor does The Sims. If anything, a soundtrack that "goes hard" would distract from the gameplay. SimCity doesn't need a soundtrack that makes you wanna dance or rage. It needs a soundtrack that makes you relaxed. You're here to run a city, not destroy it, even if most people do that anyway.

Coincidentally, Sim City 4 is full of bangers. Peak study music.
