I recently started playing GTAV again and sometimes I’ll get in my car and let the radio stations play while I do house stuff. Favorite stations are the 80s one with Kenny Loggins, and West Coast Classics and Rock Radio.

Hollow Knight and Spiritfarer.

Ace Combat, mainly Ace Combat 5 but all of them are well known for their soundtracks.

More recently WARNO has excellent music so far, even though most of it was licensed by Eugen from third parties so it doesn't really count as a soundtrack specific to the game.

Classic arcade games:

  • Gyruss
  • Pengo
  • Mappy
  • Frogger

And just for good measure: Lemmings

[–] perviouslyiner@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

If we're going for classics, don't forget this one

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 1 points 1 year ago

I haven’t played Lemmings since like middle school! Time to go find the music for it.

Planet coaster. Released on streaming, it’s just so relaxing.

[–] Ignacio@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

I love game OST so it really depends on my mood. For now the vibe is Planet Coaster.

Chained Echoes
Witcher
Doom 2016

Probably GTA SA. Blew my tiny mind to find out Tommy "The Nightmare" Smith, singer of Crystal Ship was voiced by Axl Rose.

You're on The Dust

Then again, VC had some absolute bangers too and I think is the only GTA that had me listening to the pop channel as much as the rock channel.

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 1 points 1 year ago

Wow, I didn’t know he was one of the voices. That’s great lmao. I love how many celebrities they manage to get for the stations. Like Kenny Loggins, Frank Ocean, Iggy Pop, Kat Williams.

[–] Tastyzero@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Dig, FFVII, Indiana Jones and the fate of atlantis, Morrowind, Quake.

Lots more, especially classic midi tracks but those are my top 5 (subject to change of mood and season).

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus

I have played 4 Warhammer games and never touched the tabletop. Don't know how I got into this game but once I did, it didn't leave my head. I have one shuffle list I listen to and this sits there very comfortably.

[–] countsickness@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Infamous for introducing me to one of my now all time favorite musicians. Amon Tobin.

And a lot earlier Quake that planted the first seeds for my love of NIN.

[–] UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Recently I completed Crossing Souls. It's a game overloaded with 80s nostalgia. The soundtrack is from two composers. The first has 80s synth tracks while the other providers John Williams / Amblin like scores as the story of a group of young friends and feels like a movie from that time.

Madden 10 has an unusally stacked soundtrack list. it is honestly absurd the sheer amount of legendary bands in that game

mlb 2k6 also has a great soundtrack, has interpol, pavement, fall of troy, pretty girls make graves, cornelius

[–] bob@lemmy.havocperil.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Double Dragon Neon has an absolutely banging soundtrack. I wish I could get it on Spotify, but it's only on Bandcamp. Mango Tango is amazing.

[–] ArtZuron@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I really lime the Dark Souls 3 soundtrack. Elden Ring's is okay, but there's just something about it that isn't as cool.

Sekiro's is good in an entirely different reason. It's a different style so I wanted to mention it separately.

I also like what they did with Pokemon Black and White I and II. Driftveil City theme lives rent free in my mind.

[–] Onihikage@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

It's a very small soundtrack, but Demon Truck has absolute banger music. Definitely one of my favorites.

[–] dQw4w9WgXcQ@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Dr. Wily's Castle from Mega Man 2.

[–] Mutoid@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Deus Ex Human Revolution, Mass Effect 1, Diablo 2.

[–] DaSaw@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

Assuming visual novels count as "games", probably one of the best soundtracks I've ever run across is the one for Everlasting Summer. Both Silent Owl (Sergey Eybog) and Between August and December did amazing work on it.

[–] TerryTPlatypus@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

My favorite would probably be Super Mario Galaxy 2 OST. That game had really good music, so good I think it got nominated for an award or something. The music is nice and riveting.

[–] lustyargonian@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Not OST but I really vibed with Fallout 3 radio. It was cool to learn about old songs from that game.

[–] tom5760@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago
  • Disco Elysium introduced me to Sea Power, who have a bunch of cool albums.
  • Outer Wilds - I think of the main theme every once in a while and remember all the awesome stuff in that game.
[–] AlbertScoot@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Everything by Grant Kirkhope is great shout out to the Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie osts, also Skies of Arcadia

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 1 points 1 year ago

The Banjo games are such gems. I really need to replay those.

[–] bobothebee@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

So many! Where even to start?

  • Assassin's Creed II (really the whole Ezio trilogy slaps)
  • VA11 HALL-A is from a phenomenal cyberpunk bartending game
  • PPPPPP - The VVVVVV Soundtrack is a more chiptune-oriented album from one of my favorite games
  • The most recent God of War: Ragnarök soundtrack is pretty darn good
  • The Monstercat x Rocket League playlists go pretty hard if you're in an EDM mood
[–] rautapekoni@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Amon Tobins Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory soundtrack is a solid ambient/electronic album that I keep returning to.
