Personally, I'm a huge fan of Hollow Knight, Ori and the (Blind Forest/Will of the Wisps), and Kingdom Hearts. Orchestral soundtracks are just something else...

Kenshi's soundtrack has such an amazing, surreal sound. Such a vibe, love it.

I'm a fan of the OST from Mount and Blade: Warband. (this video is in alphabetical order. The main theme starts about halfway through.)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
  • Super Metroid
  • Every. Single. Mega Man. Game. (as the kids say: so many bangers)
  • Killer Instinct
  • The Zelda franchise
  • Dead Cells
  • Celeste
  • Bloodstained ROTN
  • The Castlevania franchise
  • Hollow Knight
  • Nier: Automata

Sorry, it's early here, I can't think of any more.

Deus Ex 1, Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines, and if it counts GTA III.

Undertake and Persona 5 will remain my top two for a while, and in that order.

Portal 2

Red Dead Redemption 1

World of Warcraft: Grizzly Hills OST

Journey (PS3)

Pretty much it as I am very picky with OSTs

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

Journey's OST is amazing. The game had no dialogue, no text but the OST is telling the story as we others through the game.

I haven't play the game for years but I'm still listening to the OST regularly.

Chrono Cross is my favorite.

Dream of the Shore Near Another World makes me tearful every time I listen to it.

Death Stranding hands down for me!

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

Off the top of my head, Hades, Outer Wilds, most Halos, Zelda of course, Alan Wake. I'm sure I'm forgetting something, oh well

Symphony of the Night has an entire pile of bangers and is my clear winner in this category.

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

Chrono Trigger OST holds up well

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

Genshin OST, especially Sumeru, Absolutely slaps

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

Ar Tonelico 2 has one of the most beautiful musics I've heard, not limited to games. Not too surprising, given how the entire franchise is basically about glorifying music to divine levels and brings top notch singers like Shikata Akiko and Shimotsuki Haruka to sing songs like METHOD_IMPLANTA and EXEC_SOL=FAGE/.. The BGM is also great, with tracks like Rustling Throb Cloche.

Other great OSTs that never leaves my phone:
-Einhander (Sample: Bloody Battle)
-Omega Boost (Sample: Orbital Flight)
-HellSinker. (Sample: Apostle of the Seed)

Finally, special mention to Space Invaders Extreme 2. I wouldn't say it's the best OST but it's the most fun example of adaptive music I've seem (heard?). Edit: Also Silver Surfer from NES, given the miracle Tim Follins does to play this through its sound chip.

Persona 5 is my jam. Liked it so much I bought it on vinyl. Nier Automata is good too, more haunting and lends to the game's mood/ambience. I think Firewatch is like this too. Jet Set Radio Future and Persona 3 are also really groovy.

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

The Division 2 has an incredible soundtrack by Ola Strandh. It fits the game's mood perfectly with the dark synth undertones.

Here's the latest release from the newest gamemode called Descent.

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

It just has to be Undertale. I constantly keep coming back to it. Deltarune is nice too but the Undertale OST is just so good.

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

Shadow of the Colossus and Undertale.

Soundtracks filled front-to-back with bangers that have stuck with me over the years:

Sonic Mayhem's Quake 2 -- and, of course, Trent Reznor's Quake. 植松 伸夫 -- Final Fantasy 7. Grant Kirkhope/Graeme Norgate's GoldenEye 64. Max Lichtenstein's Pax Imperia 2. Richard Joseph's Chaos Engine. Just about anything Mick Gordon touches. ...aaaaand just about every Mario, Metroid, Sonic, DOOM (Heretic included), Command and Conquer, Advance Wars...

Chorus is an underrated game with an amazing main theme

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

Ocarina Of Time - nothing else comes close really.

I also liked The Witcher 3.

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

It's Skyrim for me. Growing up I've never played any games (because GiRLs DoN't GaMe) but I've heard some of Jeremy Soul's Skyrim tracks on YouTube and was completely enchanted. Learned that it is from the game, decided to try and now I'm a gamer, lol.

Oh, and also the main theme of Dragon Age: Origins is just divine. And honorary mention to Mass Effect and Witcher music too.

I really enjoyed the OST of the Ace Attorney games (especially the first one), Shadow of The Colossus, Kingdom Hearts, Hotel Dusk and Xenoblade Chronicles... I could go on though.

  • Digital devil saga: The tracks brings me to a very cozy dystopia everytime
  • Mega man zero 2: The sound track of the opening stage is just so damn good
  • Ghost trick: Can't wait for the new arranged version for the remake

That one single song that played on the load screen of Boiling Point - Road to Hell. It was incredibly good and I still listen to it from time to time. Boiling Point Road to Hell Main Theme

Star Control 2. 4 musicians contributed without collaborating directly, resulting in many creative alien races having unique and memorable theme music.
