Gaming

Both the Nier games have amazing soundtracks that I listen to frequently.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits is also great although I don't really listen to it on its own. It really makes the game feel much more impactful while playing.

The soundtracks from NieR:Automata and NieR Replicant are definitely my favorite of all time.

Halo: Reach and Halo 3: ODST are also very good.

Jet Set Radio

Celeste

Citizen Sleeper

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

Also, Mass Effect and GTA San Andreas

Can't believe noone has mentioned Doom 2016, one of my favorites!

Hollow Knight

Omori

Doom 2016 and eternal

Mario odyssey

Terraria

Resident evil 4

Deathloop

Bloodborne

Nier Automata

Spectre tourment

Crypt of the necrodancer

Amnesia a machine for pigs

Metroid prime

Persona 5

Guilty gear strive

Undertale

Cuphead

These are all of my favorites personally. Omori or hollow knight being the best.

Doom 2016, Mirror's Edge, Metal Gear Rising, Nier Automata, ah so many options... probably a bit of recency bias, but I think I'll say Neon White.

When it comes to licensed soundtracks, DiRT 2's soundtrack is perfection.

probably Doom Eternal. Just tuned to perfection.

Far too many to list, but Final Fantasy IX's soundtrack is a tremendous work of art, and a perfect final bow for Nobuo Uematsu from the series. It's always stuck with me among nearly ever other soundtrack.

Notable Mentions (in no order):

• Sonic 2 and 3&K
• Hotline Miami 1 & 2
• Street Fighter 2
• Nier Automata
• Castlevania (Whole Damn Series)
• Donkey Kong Country & 2
• Doom I & II
• Undertale
• Freedom Planet
• Golden Sun 1 & 2
• Hollow Knight
• Skyrim
• Kirby Series
• Mario Series
• MegaMan 2 & 3 (Shout-out to The Megas)
• Super Meat Boy

And so many others, but I'll be here all day if I keep going.

I definitely love hollow Knight's, if it wasn't obvious by my pfp.

I also love mother 3 / earthbound

kingdom hearts

most persona games

outer wilds

celeste

Chrono trigger

Ff7

Ace attorney

Paper Mario

I could go on and on tbh

Outer Wilds Journey Flower Abzu Shadow of the Colossus The last Guardian Mass effect Metal Gear Solid Undertale Thomas Was Alone What Remains of Edith Finch Dear Esther Firewatch No Man's Sky Death Stranding

I really like video game soundtracks :)

Symphony of the Night has an entire pile of bangers and is my clear winner in this category.

Xenoblade 2, Xenosaga 2, Sonic 3 and Knuckles, Final Fantasy 6, Octopath 2, Jet Set Radio Future 😎

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.

Halo (of course), Deus Ex, Cyberpunk 2077, Doom, Elder Scrolls, the Sega Genesis Sonic games, Psychonauts, Super Mario, Mirror's Edge, hell, I never really thought about it before but there is a lot of good stuff out there.

I love the Subnautica soundtrack that much I have it in my music library on my phone

MGS series soundtracks are pretty dope.

Kingdom hearts had some amazing original pieces and spins on classics.

One of my fav from the piano collection; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqmBRC6IOAs&t=11

Of course Halo 1, 2 and 3 aaand sims 2.

Outer Wilds is great. Have so many songs on my list of favourites!

Outer wilds Subnautica Subnautica Below zero FTL and into the breach are some of my favorites personally

Stellaris, Crypt of the Necrodancer, FTL, Invisible Inc, and basically any Supergiant game

Need for Speed Carbon especially the electronic music is underrated

Man this question isn't even fair there are so many fantastic soundtracks in gaming I could literally go on for hours about them.

Doom, Mass Effect, Halo, Skyrim, Ratchet and Clank, Assassin's creed(3 especially), Divinity original sin 2, pathfinder: wrath of the righteous, monster hunter, league of legends(all of riot games really), darktide, sonic, payday, witcher, Spiderman, Zelda, cyberpunk, megaman, final fantasy, Devil may cry, metal gear, undertale

that's just what I think of off the top of my head, there could easily be an entire sub just dedicated to the topic

FF7, Ff10, Halo 3, Mario Galaxy, Persona 4

I'm going to be weird and say Undertale/Deltarune; Toby Fox is really good at music imo. The fact that he brought that talent with him into Pokemon Scarlet/Violet is admirable to me.

I also really enjoy the Katamari games and Silent Hill. The Pokemon games themselves also have some bangers, ngl.

Bastion and Hades have just cool soundtracks you can listen to anytime. When pure adrenaline is needed the DOOM soundtrack.

Necrodancer soundtrack is criminally good.

Celeste, especially Farewell.

This is going way back, but the 7th Guest soundtrack had lived in my head since the first time I saw the game. Really great atmosphere, equal parts creepy and playful, perfect mood for a haunted mansion filled with puzzles.

Deus Ex Human Revolution & Mankind Divided

All 3 Xenoblade Chronicles games have some of my all-time favorite game music

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has an amazing OST

Chrono Trigger

Eve Online

Bloodborne! Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzdhTGaWzec

Zelda: Twilight Princess is probably my all time favorite. Midna's theme is so delightfully haunting in its several variations.

total annihilation

pathfinder wotr

elden ring was nice too

Chrono Cross remains my fave even after all those years.

Probably showing my age with this, but Prince of Persia: Warrior Within

Halo Reach!

Cowboy Bebop, hands down. Oh, and Samurai Champloo.

edit: Heh, it's late and I didn't see the word "game". Leaving it up, though. 🤪

I listened to Sonic Adventure 2 and Paper Mario TTYD’s soundtracks a ton when I was younger.
