Bloodborne! Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzdhTGaWzec
I have so many favorites, Ori soundtracks are amazing, Kingdom Hearts, Genshin Impact, Minecraft For more lighthearted yet genius silliness though: Part Time UFO
Not really a game but a visual Novel everyone needs to read and listen to: Umineko
Really anything by Grant Kirkhope, Banjo Kazooie Yooka Laylee, etc, and on the Rare train, Donkey Kong Country 2 had great music.
Also love the Undertale soundtrack.
Kenshi's soundtrack has such an amazing, surreal sound. Such a vibe, love it.
Can't believe someone mentioned Kenshi already :)
Such a cool game, such an amazing soundtrack
Persona 4 and Xenoblade 2 are my top 2
I think the Elder Scrolls games all have great music, but Morrowind's OST has always stood out as amazing. Hearing that opening soundtrack immediately sends me back to playing it for the first time!
I love Amplitude Studios soundtracks (Endless Legend, Endless Space 1&2, Humankind). They're great background music while thinking about stuff (like at work). Though maybe I just got Pavlov'd into thinking that since they're strategy games 😅
Also, Persona 4! The soundtrack is so nostalgic and reminds me of my childhood somehow.
My username comes from the Endless Space 2 soundtrack!
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has an amazing OST
I love the soundtrack for the original Risk of Rain and also FTL
ohh yes ftl is great!
Kingdom hearts had some amazing original pieces and spins on classics.
One of my fav from the piano collection; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqmBRC6IOAs&t=11
Of course Halo 1, 2 and 3 aaand sims 2.
I am wondering why this hasn't been said more often, but Undertale! Also, the super smash series always had great osts too> Undertale
I'm this thread I've missed Bastion, once the top answer of these kind of threads.
Personally I'm very fond of the germanized versions of pop music songs in Wolfenstein: a new order.
Yeah, Bastion is pretty much the only one I've listened to after finishing a game, and it always takes me right back to playing it.
Super Mario Galaxy is the one that stuck with me. Also, I love Stardew Valley's and Ori's off the top of my head.
Galaxy theme is honestly one of my favorite pieces of music of any genre :).
MGS series soundtracks are pretty dope.
I was completely obsessed with the Final Fantasy 6 sound track as a kid and even did a playthrough with a tape recorder to make my own sound track.
Chrono Trigger is a close second.
I want to throw out an honorable mention to Dust Force, the sound track may be some of the best "get into the zone" music I've ever heard.
Crypt of the Necrodancer and Cadence of Hyrule both require me to stand, so I can bounce in time to the music with my character.
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...
FFVIII or FFX
Necrodancer soundtrack is criminally good.
Definitely the Halo games for me. I think Halo 2 would be my fav.
I also just really like the music from Sonic. Sonic Generations had a great OST.
Games I've played:
Deep Rock Galactic, Terraria + Calamity, RuneScape
Haven't played, but love the soundtrack:
Ace Combat 7, Payday 2, Nier: Automata, Killer Instinct
For me it has to be a mix of doom 2016 the witcher 3 and chrono trigger. So many good soundtracks between them.
Cowboy Bebop, hands down. Oh, and Samurai Champloo.
The Maxis Sim City game has a great OST from Chris Tilton. Quite partial to Riven and Hotline Miami too.
Honourable mention for Bastion too. And sometime I like the This War of Mine acoustic guitar stuff.
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
It's crazy what Andrew Prahlow (Outer Wilds composer) managed to make happen with Outer Wilds with a banjo. I feel the music adds so much to the game, and you can really see his skill in all the different genres of music within the OST, from comfy and familial with Timber Hearth, to the creepier Strange Flames
If you haven't seen it yet I recommend checking out the lost reels (It's the last 6 tracks). It's basically a sendoff to the game and the dlc and it's a work of art. I definitely cried a bit on my first listen.
For me, Shovel Knight and Chrono Trigger tie for first, followed by Ocarina of Time and Super Mario World.
Fun fact: nearly every single song in the Super Mario World soundtrack is a variation on one single melody, so its diversity even with that constraint really showcases how cleverly it was created.
Crypt of the Necrodancer is a classic. Also, Metal Geat Rising and, more recently, Sonic Frontiers.
