He was one of the most important figures in music at the turn of the 20th century; his music represents the transition from late-romantic to 20th century classical.
Debussy's most dramatic contribution to music history was his disregard for traditional chord structures and tonality. He is one of the most important exponents of the whole tone scale in classical music history. His compositions flowed without a strict sense of metre or rhythm, and are considered the pioneering works of the Impressionist genre of classical music, named in comparison with the visual arts movement.
Debussy's impact was far reaching. His free use of harmony, which often altogether disregarded the concepts of tertian harmony, has been cited as an influence on the rise of Jazz music later in the 20th century.

I thought the piano music in Untitled Goose Game was an original composition; I'm surprised to see it was actually Debussy.
@BR-jt6ny
I was watching someone play Untitled Goose Game and also assumed the music was original and I was like HOW is it THIS GOOD? When I heard it was Debussy I was like "of course, that makes so much sense!"
@lgod_art
When I saw the trailer, I was like "mmmmh, this sounds really Debussy-esque". I was curious and eager to hear a VG composer in this style - and then the game started with Bruyères, and I was like "ok this makes more sense".
