For my money it's a tie between Eurydice's song from Hades, any of the tracks from VVVVVV and Still Alive. But what do you think?

Warhammer 40,000 Mechanicus Just embodies the Techpreist vibe so well, a near perfect hybrid of church organs and industrial music.

Its actually hard to pick a favorite track, it evenly split between Children of the Omnissiah and Noosphere.

Awesome for the Amiga

The song from the first level of Sonic Adventure 2 (the one about escaping the city). It catchy to listen to while all of the action of Sonic unfolds.

Super Mario Galaxy has an amazing soundtrack!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can’t pick just one, but these are among my favourites:

  • Prince of Persia 3D
  • Grim Fandango
  • Descent
  • Skyrim
  • Far Cry 2

Overworld theme and Dead Sea tracks are phenomenal.

I love soundtracks from Splatoon, all series. Especially Chip Damage/Blitz it! is my favourite.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It's nice to see so many different awnsers, gaming has just so many good soundtracks.

Personally, I love the soundtrack of the original Xenoblade Chronicles. "Engage the Enemy" really hits during the cutscene it plays.

Another recomendation is Xenoblade Chronicles 3's "Words that never reached you"

Right now I'm going to have to go with a tie between Brok and Graff from Brok the Investigator and the legacy soundtrack piece After The Flames by Josh Woodward from SuperTuxKart.

90% of the Sonic Frontiers "Cyberspace" tracks are S tier. The best soundtrack in recent memory.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Almost all Deus Ex soundtrack, and maybe the Synapse level was the best of them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Total Annihilation

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty much the entire Castlevania : Symphony of the night soundtrack... It's all so good. And nostalgic too. One of my favorite games, and favorite soundtracks.

Others have mentioned kingdom hearts, donkey Kong country and Jet Set Radio Future which are some of my favorites, but another one I love is Maplestory. Great simplistic map BGMs that I still listen to quite often when studying or focusing

[–] GhostOfElectricity 2 points 1 year ago

And now I've got the Henesys music playing in my head. Old MS was so fun back in the day. Mesos pls :'(

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

IDK if it's best of all time but the soundtrack to Guardians Crusade, a jrpg for kids on the PS1, is pretty up there and waaaaaaayyyyyy better than it has any right to be.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Halo is my top pick.

Goldrunner was also fantastic in its way.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I’ll add two of my favourites that haven’t been mentioned yet - Metroid Prime is my all time favourite and Horizon: Zero Dawn and Forbidden West which I’ve been listening to a ton late lately

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yes to Metroid Prime!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Okami has a truly beautiful soundtrack, my favourites are the 'The Sun Rises' and The Eight Dog Warriors Theme'. Also Calamari Inkantation from Splatoon is fantastic.

You just have to understand the concept of love!

Def hollow knight, I think it captures the essence of a long decaying kingdom perfectly.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Some great ones:

Gyruss (arcade)

Bubble Bobble (arcade)

WipeOut 2097(XL) (psx - probably the best example of songs that compliment the gameplay)

Afterburner II (arcade - just one specific track called City 202, at time 15:34)

Edit: 2 more

720 ( arcade - blistering)

Rolling Thunder ( arcade - max funky )

SNES Wild Guns final theme Song

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ahhh but which Still Alive?

You probably meant the one from Portal, but I much prefer the one from Mirror's Edge! Beautiful song!
