Ask Lemmy

Really really obscure but I could never take this song off my head, from A Thousand Arms, psx game. Game was a goor jrpg.

Underwater theme from donkey Kong country

Ace Combat

Kenshi has some of the best ambient music. Scorching wind gives chills every time.

It’s not better than Tetris I’ll admit. But I’ve always had a soft spot for the Mass Effect soundtrack.

A few i havent seen mentioned.

Sonic 2 and 3 on megadrive. Especially the ice zone with the snowboard on 3. https://youtu.be/hYxlqTpZ-24

Icewind dale. The kuldahar music is epic. https://youtu.be/B92P1-OUNJo or easthaven in peace https://youtu.be/ERd5stTsaBc

I'm going to go for a bit of a deeper cut and say Mad Rat Dead. They took a genre which relies so heavily on the strength of its music (rhythm platformer), and produced a soundtrack where literally every song is a banger, and produced some great emotional moments as well--the transition from Cottage House to Kind of Hope and Neuchatel still makes me choke up just thinking about it.

Hands down, DOOM Eternal

My pick for best chiptune track

I still listen to the NSFU2 soundtrack today when I feel the need for a bit of hard hitting sound, with some variety.

Skyrim was pretty epic… even the “wandering around” music was perfect.

But my #1 is Still Alive (closing theme song to Portal).

Tony Hawk was a big one. The EA sports games always have some bangers that get stuck in your head. One of my favorite video game moments, though, was bombing the tobacco fields to Bomba Estereo's "Fuego", in Far Cry 6. They employed music well, throughout, but that moment was really enveloping.

Wingspan. I have the Vinyl OST.

Monument Valley is quite nice too.

The original Destiny sound track was fire

Haven't seen it mentioned, but, Spiritfarer

For me definitively the soundtrack of Boneworks (which is also the best VR game I know). Especially its main theme ("Bone Theme") and "Who am I"

Some more awesome OSTs in no particular order: Minecraft, Banjo-Kazooie / Banjo Tooie, Witcher 3, Risk of Rain 2

Your reality is amazing

Mario 2.

Samurai Shodown series has an amazing soundtrack. A mix of traditional Japnese sound, rock music, chaotic jazz, and ambient sound that barely resembles a song. The ending of 3 is my ultimate 'get pumped' song:

Star control 2 was the absolute best imo

Hughe fan of the low roar songs in death stranding

Modern Warfare 2 (2009)

Left 4 Dead

Warcraft classic - TBC - WOTLK - Cataclysm

They are Billions

Absolutely ANYTHING Mick Gordon.

Castlevania, Zelda and Silent Hill (though I'd say all first 3) mentioned so I'm gonna say Alundra. Sure it's very Zelda/JRPG, but that game had some amazing music that just sticks with you.

Also a little tongue in cheek, but Adventures of Lolo. I'm not sure if there's just one song throughout the trilogy, but it sure feels like it. Weirdly it doesn't bother you. It's like a hypnosis that just makes you play one more level. One more try. Kind of like the Tetris soundtrack, but it never gets old.

Shadowrun for Sega Genesis

Unorthodox opinion here but Wasteland 3, the first time the Battle Hymn of the Republic played over a fight was incredible.

Not exactly answering the question, but hearing every generational rendition of Proof of a Hero throughout the Monster Hunter games still gives me the feels

This is going to be highly subjective.

For me, this may not be the best, but it's one of the more memorable soundtracks.

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, Manaan theme. https://youtu.be/CNe4XHbkEZA

Chrono Cross ftw

@TheBananaKing

I'd say Sayonara Wild Hearts. It's a rhythm game so expertly crafted with the musicsoundtrack it gives me chills. It's so, so good

Space Invaders
