SSX 3 solid tunes and loved how the music changed as you went doown the slopes.

Also, Mass Effect and GTA San Andreas

I gotta give a shout-out to Portal 2, maybe not my personal favorite but probably the soundtrack I appreciate the most. It uses music almost like sound effects, with different stems emanating from different test elements, and turning on/off based on their status. I even made my first video essay about it because there's just so much cool stuff going on.

Star Control 2, The Talos Principle, The Outer Wilds

Ape Escape 3 holds a special place in my heart.

Basically any Pokemon game.

And this one's incredibly niche, but the music in Clicker Heroes 2 slaps.

everhood has a really good ost

For me it's Skyrim. Streets of Whiterun, Masser, Jerral Mountains, Under an Ancient Sun, so many tracks that just instantly transport me back to the world I was immersed in throughout most of high school. They bring a sense of peace that comes from exploring in a simpler time.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus

I don't think I've ever heard a megaman track I don't like

Really nice suggestions here. I personally love Starbound, Fez, Xcom ...

Halo 3:ODST, especially Deference for Darkness. Great mood music.

torn between Rain World and Hyper Light Drifter

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.

I looked over the whole list and noticed it's lacking one Rise of the Triad 2012 and Distance.

I would mention Rez and DJ Max, but it feels a little silly to mention Music based games for good OSTs.

And apparently I need to go listen to the OSTs for rain world and journey. They got multiple recommendations on here.

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.

Most of my favorites are already here, but one that's unfortunately overlooked is the soundtrack to Arcanum: of Steamworks and Magic Obscura. It's all this really moody, atmospheric string quartet music that just fits the game perfectly. I really recommend you give it a shot, it's really unique!

• Hardspace: Shipbreaker
• Risk of Rain 2
• Gran Turismo (literally all of them, but 4 is a classic)
• Super Mario Galaxy 1&2
• Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies

Recently I've been starting my day of with the title theme from NES Pictionary to help wake me up, that track slaps way more than it has any right to. When I'm working I often put on one of the Zero Escape OSTs to help me think, especially 999 or Virtue's Last Reward. If I'm looking for bangers then Furi or GhostRunner are frequent favourites.

I'm a huge fan of Destiny 2's OSTs - the game definitely has some issues every now and then, but the art of the game (the music, the sounds, the environmental skyboxes, textures, etc) never fail me. I especially like the OSTs for each of the game's raids.

Here's my favorite song from the newest raid, "Root of Nightmares" - it ties in so well with what is actually occurring in that encounter, you get to move the planets of our solar system around! There's also an "Action" phase to the song that starts to play as you begin making the boss vulnerable, which most of the raid encounter songs tend to have.

Similarly, this song belongs to the final boss encounter for that same raid.

Then there's this song which wasn't from a raid, but one of the early expansions. It still gives me shivers when I hear the beginning of it, and then it starts to really ramp up towards the last third of the track.

Seriously, Destiny's music never ceases to amaze me! I didn't ever expect a whole season themed around pirates (though we did get a dungeon that was pirate themed before this), and got some killer music to go with it!

Not sure if favourite, but Minecraft soundtrack hits different now

Shocked and appalled at the lack of Resident Evil/BIOHAZARD representation.

The survival horror classics of the 90s are simply unmatched. One of my absolute favorites is the OG RE2's Marshalling Yard, both halves.

Every Korean anime online game i've ever played has had an unnecessarily good soundtrack. Maplestory, Mabinogi, LaTale, S4League, GunZ: The duel, the list literally never ends.

For me it's Persona 3/4/5 and Xenoblade Chronicles 1/2/3 all have fantastic soundtracks!

Ocarina Of Time - nothing else comes close really.

I also liked The Witcher 3.

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

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

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

For me it has to be a mix of doom 2016 the witcher 3 and chrono trigger. So many good soundtracks between them.

There are so many good game soundtracks listed in this tread!

Here are some of my favorites:

• Chrono Trigger
• Diablo II
• Elden Ring
• Final Fantasy (and pretty much anything by Nobuo Uematsu)
• Hades (and all of the Supergiant Games soundtracks)
• NieR: Automata
• Witcher III

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

i loved "the flame and the flood" for what it was, though i wouldnt add it to my playlist and all

some of inon zurs work on fo4, especially the settlement/town idle captured this frontier/post Apocalypse vibe i absolutely loved
