The Hotline Miami 1 and 2 soundtracks are killer.
Gaming
Zelda music, specifically from BOTW and TOTK. But all the Zelda games have great music.
Loved the music in hollow knight
Xenogears and Chrono Trigger soundtracks, a lot of that is how they evoke good memories of playing the games long ago.
The Xenoblade series has such great OSTs in general. If I have to pick just one track it's probably Engage the Enemy
the entire OST for Nier: Automata is amazing. i still need to play through Nier: Replicant and i think im looking forward to the music more than the game itself.
The carnival theme chefs kiss
One of my top picks. Music really sells the game.
Cyberpunk 2077 has pretty damn good music with a large variety of styles. I love that they have almost exclusively artists Ive never heard of and whose great music Ive discovered that way.
Ultima VIII also had really good music, so perfectly eerie for this bromen world. From the same artist also Wing Commander: Privateer.
Tyrian had a great soundtrack that sounded really oldschool 8 bitty and perfectly supported, nay made the athmosphere of the game.
Dune though, that has to be one if the best. What that artist produced using just the measley OPL3 FM synthesizers of the first soundcards? Absolutely incredible.
I'm currently hooked on the Bomberman 64 soundtrack again. That intro cutscene music and the world select still please my eardrums!
silent hill and no more heroes are both franchises with amazing soundtracks.
Risk of Rain2. Especially the soundtrack for the Survivors of the Void dlc.
The whole album is amazing, but A Placid Island of Ignorance and Once in a Lullaby are epic. The way the ending and the beginning of the album use Prelude to D-Flat Major is so satisfying.
Chris Christodoulou is an amazing musician.
(Old fuck here) Final Fantasy 6 and Castlevania Symphony of the Night. And it's not even close. Other games I like have some solid bangers (Halo, Doom, Zelda, etc), but I love those 2 games whole OSTs.
