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...

There's this french MMO i played as a kid called Dofus and that soundtrack still hits hard when I listen. I think part of it is nostalgia but also its just so beautiful

Minecraft and Terraria, oh yeah also Hollow Knight

Legend of Dragoon soundtrack composed by Dennis Martin.

Bajo Kazooie soundtracks by Grant Kirkhope.

Donkey Kong soundtracks by David Wise.

Sly Cooper soundtrack (first game) by Ashif Hakik.

Ratchet and Clank soundtrack (first game) by David Bergeaud

Metroid soundtracks by Kenji Yamamoto.

All made insanely long lasting impressions where I could hear just a bit from one of the songs and instantly know what it is. Having played lots of video games, these seem to be the ones that have created the most lasting memory. They also absolutely slap as well.

The Legend of Zelda games BOTW and TOTK get mention here as well, though I don't find it as memorable. the sound design in these games is just top notch though.

Tetris definitely deserves a shoutout.

LA Noire by Simon Hale is fantastic though it's mostly just riffing off of Chinatown's soundtrack and I wouldn't say it really implants itself in the memory like the ones mentioned above.

Other honorable mentions

Vice City

Jet Set Radio – Hideki Naganuma

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater

Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross will always bring me to tears. 💙 Also Robo's Theme is a banger!

I used to fall asleep to a Morrowind OST CD.

Ridge Racer Type 4

I have yet to find a racing game that makes me trance away with their scenic levels and music like this one.

Been replaying it since forever waiting for Namco to make a remaster or continuing the series

[-] w00master@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Deus Ex and Oblivion

[-] AbelianGrape@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Shadow of the Colossus and Undertale.

[-] Dekthro@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Risk of Rain 2

[-] betamax@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Machinarium, Samarost (or anything by Floex,) Red Strings Club, Nier Automata

[-] Brad@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

What immediately comes to mind are Final Fantasy IV and Castlevania Symphony of the Night.

[-] SeverianWolf@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Silent Hill 1 to 4 by Akira Yamaoka. Atmospheric and dreamlike.

Shadow of the colossus by Kow Otani. Epic and mystical.

[-] nivenkos@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Ocarina Of Time - nothing else comes close really.

I also liked The Witcher 3.

[-] v2vhD7HK@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 years ago

Guild Wars 2

[-] Moskus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

In the beginning it was Day of the Tentacle and Transport Tycoon. For the longest time it was Red Dead Redemption 1 and then 2.

Then suddenly Desperados III came along and is so far winning.

[-] Faydaikin@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Decent 2, is the soundtrack I keep coming back to.

I never get tired of it. i just wish the tracks were longer. :)

[-] Thavron@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

The first Fable game has such an amazing soundtrack. Every one of those tunes is etched into my brain. They capture the feeling of the areas they play in so well.

[-] lowleveldata@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago
  • Digital devil saga: The tracks brings me to a very cozy dystopian
  • 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

@strudel6242@beehaw.org @gaming@beehaw.org The Chaos Engine soundtrack by Richard Joseph.

Heh, just a few on the go: Witcher 3 Cyberpunk 2077 Divinity: Original Sin 2 ("Sing for me" 🥰) Battlefield 1 and V Hi-Fi Rush

[-] zephyroths@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Legend of Heroes has many of my favorite soundtracks. Hard to pick which one is my favorite because so much of them are absolute banger

[-] NightmareQueenJune@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

I think my absolute favorite that I haven't seen here is Gris. This game is absolutely beautiful as is the OST.

[-] Relected@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

a lil bit of payday

[-] ClammyMantis488@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years 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.

[-] NoPolToday@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

I love the Deus Ex: Human Revolution OST: It vaguely reminds me of Vangelis' Blade Runner OST.

[-] mjohanning@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Maybe because of nostalgia, but I will always come back to the Fable 1 and 2 OSTs. Especially Fable 1. Bowerstone especially I love.

Sim City 4 is definitely in my top five - love the chilled out jazzy stuff. Also, this is kind of out there, but does anybody remember the Harry Potter RPGs on gameboy color? Those had some great magical 8-bit tunes!

[-] StrahdVonZarovich@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is surprisingly good. Surtur's theme is one of the best boss themes ive ever heard. I also really like using the Battle Brothers ost for my Pathfinder games.

The Trine series is an underappreciated masterpiece. I've never heard so many waltzes in a game before.

Genshin Impact's soundtrack is also gorgeous.

[-] karpintero@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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.
