Let’s try and keep it below 10 entries:
- Disco Elysium
- Outer Wilds
- Hollow Knight
- Shadow of the Colossus + Ico
- Pyre (+all other Supergiant games)
- Valkyrie Profile
- Banner Saga trilogy
- Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
- Chrono Trigger + Cross
- Eastshade
Really good list. I wanna add stardew valley and Nier automata aswell.
Als I’m gonna check out valkyrie profile tomorrow, I’ve never heard of that game.
Hollow Knight is pure art
Bastion, Beyond Good & Evil, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, Mirror’s Edge.
and Hades, although I refuse to call it a “patient gamer” game
BGE soundtrack is so good.
Hades, although I refuse to call it a “patient gamer” game
Why? It’s 6 years old at this point so I think it qualifies.
shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up
All the hades osts are so good. They just don’t miss.
Bungie-era Halo has the best OST in the industry hands down, though recently Lunacid let me hear some certified bangers; someone here mentioned B:G&E, and I second that opinion although I wouldn’t have thought of it myself.
The Halo 3: ODST OST is so good, man.
Halo Reach was such an excellent send off. What a powerful soundtrack.
Halo Reach is my best honestly
Commander, you don’t have the firepower!
I’ve got the mass.
Solid copy. Hit 'em hard, boss.
You’re on your own, Noble.
Lieutenant, get aboard. We gotta get the hell outta here
Negative. I have the gun. Good luck, sir.
Good luck to you, Spartan.
The Mombasa Streets music made me stop in my tracks a couple times.
All of Persona OSTs, if i had to pick one it would be 5, but all of them have songs on my playlist that i hear to this day.
I also love Devil May Cry OSTs, i heard bury the light on repeat for months
Persona 5 - Beneath the Mask. Still listening to this on a rainy days !
Last month i was on the bus back home and as the rain started to fall that music started to play, literal perfect timing
Persona 3 OST for me
mantis Lords from hollow knight
Is 2016 old enough now?
The DOOM 2016 soundtrack fucking rips.it’s been almost a decade. def old enough imo.
Original DOOM!

This immediately brought me back to the YTMND era. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVBalxt3NEU
My DUUUDE hahahaha
And tears
Until it is done
Feeling nostalgic and I was just listening to the Pokemon gen2 soundtrack
Final Fantasy VI, so much so that when OverClocked Remix kick started a remix album, I donated to it
- Chrono Trigger
- Undertale/Deltarune
- The World Ends With You
- Jet Set Radio
- Them’s Fightin’ Herds
- F-Zero GX
- VVVVVV
- CrossCode
- Crypt of the Necrodancer
- Shatter
Ace Combat, all of them but especially the PS2 Holy Trinity.
Shadow of the Colossus.
NFSU2, Most Wanted and Burnout 3, even if theyre licensed music and not really original.
Doom midis in general are fun. Touhou games too.
I think PS2 era might be the overall strongest collection of soundtracks, both original score and licensed music.
But I’m biased cause it’s my favorite console.
Witcher 3: Lelelelele
I love that one can still web search for that and still find the song 😂
I’ll skip the obvious ones with multiple artists like Furi, Katana Zero, Hotline Miami, Crypt of the Necrodancer…

- Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
- Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
My top four haven’t changed in a while:
- Chrono Cross
- Nier Gestalt/Replicant (original version)
- Persona 5
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
I love EDM, so any game that uses it or is inspired by it holds a special place in my heart, like Streets of Rage, Rez, Dance Dance Revolution, or the Trails of Cold Steel games (especially the second one).
