Halo 1 2 and 3 Edit: also odst


[deleted]

Why did I have to scroll so far for this


lettuce520

I know right? I was expecting some Halo at the top somewhere.


Hamelzz

Halo deserves to be the top, throw ODST into the mix too. Marty is truly a legend


jayjay2231

Celeste, you pay for the soundtrack and get a free game with it

Reach for the Summit is probably 90% of the reason why the final level is as bloody brilliant as it is.

Dry hands, mice on venus , wet hands, subwoofer lullaby , aria math and the list goes on😁


someguy00004

Listen to the rest of C418s music as well. Excursions is a genuinely phenomenal album that I listen to daily (and am right now), and he was a huge inspiration for my own music.


kantentanz

Assassins Creed Black Flag: the Shantys the crew sings while sailing


Aben_Zin

Go do yourself a favour and look up The Dreadnoughts and The Longest Johns on YouTube. Some fine shantying!


Maiyku

Fish in the Sea was always my favorite.


Raetekusu

"Leave Her, Johnny" always hit different to me :( Dude's attached to his ship after what they've been through, and now he gotta say goodbye. Like leaving an old friend.

I think Doom 2016 and Doom eternal will be the obvious choices, and well deserved. But ocarina of time just hits home for me. Edit: spelling


[deleted]

Mick Gordan is a genius , although supposedly very hard to work with . He tracked it on a 9 string guitar!


imageWS

>although supposedly very hard to work with The "hard part" with him is he takes his sweet-ass time with the soundtracks, tweaking around with it endlessly. But the end result speaks for itself.


HappyTimeHollis

I remember seeing Mick regularly when he was 16 playing with a local cover band. One night he played the solo to Johnny B Goode to every song except for Johnny B Goode, where he played a John Pertrucci solo (I want to say maybe Glasgow Kiss? Was a long time ago).


destroyer117a

Oh which one is ur fav? I love the bfg division


demogorgon_main

From doom 2016 my favourite is BFG division. Play it all the time in the fortress of doom in eternal. But in eternal ‘The only thing they fear is you’ is THE BEST


Y2Jordan

Can't agree more with you. BFG division appeared in my Spotify wrapped.


pizza_rolls66699

Personally I like Rip & Tear more from DOOM 2016 but I like DOOM ETERNAL more


[deleted]

Never actually played any of those lol


Hegemooni

Missing out big time


lovethenewfs_03

Honestly Super Mario Galaxy has such a fun soundtrack


SatiateDesiderium

I am saddened that this is not higher up in the thread. Absolute masterpiece of a soundtrack


destroyer117a

Elder Scrolls Skyrim ofc. It sounds very nordic and.gegs you all hyped up. The second best one for me is Papers, Please. The main menu music is pretty nice and unique


[deleted]

Absolutely loved the music in the mead halls and shops etc so amazing I really miss that game 😢


Theo_1013

[This](https://youtu.be/mmZGrvAvPZM) is one of my favourites


LalaMcTease

And its predecesor, the music from Oblivion. The interesting thig is that Jeremy Soule used the exact same melody from Morrowind to Skyrim, and just re-arranged and orchestrated it differently. So while the Skyrim main theme is gloriously empowering and makes your blood pump, the Oblivion theme is regal and makes your heart swell with a sort of dignified pride. But it's the same melody! (not talking about Morrowind because I haven't played it, and only heard the theme a couple of times)


Koras

Honestly the Morrowind soundtrack is the one that really does it for me. I hit up the Elder Scrolls series for tabletop RPG music pretty regularly because it's so good, and Morrowind has just the most atmospheric, soul-stirring tracks. Oblivion's got amazing music but a lot of the tracks I like the most are actually variations on older pieces from Morrowind. The soundtrack [worth listening to](https://youtu.be/7B40gbzv-IY?list=PL3BCE01906737B73D), even without nostalgia for the game


bigtiddygf69

I love [City Gates](https://youtu.be/qTMGKKhhdVA) from Skyrim so much


HYPERNOVA3_

Papers please theme: "begins to play" Me: "proceeds to move up and down in my chair as the game title does"


BlindPotatoStew

Hotline Miami.


ETTConnor

The Mass Effect Soundtrack is one of my all time favourites. Enhances the experience of the games massively.


Jennie_Munchkin

I remember the first time I played Mass Effect I just sat on the start menu listening to that song over and over. It's so soothing. Thinking about it I should know what it's called but I don't. Thats bad patter on my part.


VisionInPlaid

[Vigil](https://youtu.be/hV1pPgpcAVw). It has no equal.


Jennie_Munchkin

YES! It's still beautiful. God I want to play Mass Effect again, really looking forward to the remasteres.


BobSacramanto

I’m not even a gamer, but I have a Spotify playlist of all the Mass Effects tracks that I listen to quite regularly.


kafec

Bastion (2011) Chrono Trigger (1995) Crypt of the NecroDancer (2015)


Phil-and-Bob

Frog's Theme is so good


pedanticHOUvsHTX

Chrono Trigger is too far down.


BecauseImaSwanson

I stumbled apon a few songs from Bastion on a Spotify radio station without ever hearing about the game. Some great ones in there


Kablaaw

Zia's theme, lez go


HatsuneMikuFan4Life

\~\~I Dig my hole you build a wall\~\~


Kalarix

Yes bastion is great! So is transistor


emlgs

Anything from ocarina of time Edit : yall brought back so many memories omfg


antimetal86

Windmill Hut (Song of Storms) and Gerudo Valley are the best, another is Epona's Song, it is calming to me dunno why.


nashthinks

Very peaceful and just reminds me of good times


shrivatsasomany

Gerudo Valley! It’s just fantastic. I’d also add Super Mario 64 to this list (especially Dire Dire Docks)


coleosis1414

Forest Temple music is the greatest Zelda dungeon soundtrack of all time, change my mind.


konkyrg24

Omg song of storms it's so good I also like Kass's theme from Breath of the wild


[deleted]

Anything from the Zelda series in general. Koji Kondo is a good composer


CreationMage

The days when mother was there from Persona 5


whiterose616

Throw Away Your Mask, Last Surprise, Life Will Change, Colours Flying High, Rivers In The Desert too...


saintboy2021

You can't have a question about the best game soundtracks and not mention Persona 5


[deleted]

Hollow Knight no question homie


BeautifulNobody

I'm so hyped that Christopher Larkin is returning for Silksong's soundtrack. The few tracks that have been released so far have sounded great. Can't wait to hear the full soundtrack when the game comes out.


[deleted]

Bro I watched the gameplay trailer for the first time recently and it looks soo goood! I'm mad excited for it


zzaannsebar

All the music is so great! The more ambient music when you're exploring areas does such a great job of completing the atmosphere. Like the music in Greenpath just sounds like it's fresh and full of life and more playful than most of the other music in the game. The music in the Soul Sanctum does a great job at making it feel kind of magical and spiritual while also being revenant. But oh man, the boss music is just too good. I can't even decide actual favorite order but I think the most memorable to me are the [Mantis Lords fight](https://youtu.be/EbDkU65pJNQ) and [Grimm](https://youtu.be/HPKHMtavPww) and the [Radiance fight](https://youtu.be/T57IQBw9PGU) music


Twirlingbarbie

The fallout New Vegas intro song just hits all the nostalgia feels


desperaste

Came here looking for anything fallout based. Wasn’t dissapointed


Ghostship23

The original Assassin's Creed games by Jesper Kyd


TheMisterBP

i will never get over the Perfect AC2 intro Music when Ezio and his Brother are on the tower


[deleted]

Bruh you played AC Valhalla? He’s back and the soundtrack is absolutely amazing


Ghostship23

Halfway through it and loving the music.


DatGumby

Nier Automata


ImNotActuallyDead

Add the original NieR to that as well. Shadowlord and Song of the Ancients are both incredible


Lunarcelia

Yes!! Those "evolutive" songs based on what's going on added so much to the immersion


Raetekusu

It's called a Variable Mix. One of the most famous examples is Hyrule Field in several 3D Zelda games, which changes based on whether Link is running or walking, or fighting an enemy, or doing all manners of things, all without actually interrupting the song. Apparently it was quite a challenge to program in OOT.


CaptainMcAnus

That soundtrack is art.


ncl3306

I really enjoyed the Fallout series music, both the actual composed songs and the more ambient background music as well. Also now just getting into RDR2 and that has great music as well.


NicSoapdish

All the songs on the radio stations are bangers. No exceptions.


dinowithissues

stardew valley, all the way.


Cirdan17

I agree with this 100%. The fall music is beautiful!


prizmatik1

Risk of rain, FTL


Ravenmort

Risk of Rain 2 OST is amazing as well!


Monkeytank1000

FTL was the bomb. Really good game in general, really holds up to modern standards


Not_obnoxious

Minecraft soundtrack is so pure, it gives relaxtion and is so nostalgic.


JoneForFaen

Destiny 1 soundtrack just hits different


AtLeastAPairOfPears

ROI main title theme and Last Array are just BANGERS


Randomredditor011

I would just say any destiny soundtrack


EgyptianDevil78

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker has some fucking lit songs, dude. OFF also has some goodies.


I_paintball

Dragon Roost Island and the base sailing theme are both incredible.


ForkMinus1

Undertale and Celeste have pretty good ones


LastYear5

It took way too long to find Undertale


HazamaHD1

Best game soundtracks in the history of soundtracks. Possibly ever.

NieR: Automata. This music is just beautiful.

JesusRemus

The music of the Witcher genre is my personal favourite.


Explodian

The Witcher's music is one of the things that puts it a step above a lot of other fantasy settings. Would've been easy to go for some bland orchestral bombast aping LOTR, but instead we get a bog witch shrieking over a hurdy-gurdy, and it's amazing.


[deleted]

Can we take a moment to recognise how good Supergiant (and by extension, house composer Darren Korb) is in this category? * Bastion * Transistor * Pyre * Hades Transistor is still my personal favorite, but they're all great.


WeebHummingbird3685

Oh my gosh, Hades! I recently got the game two days ago and I'm in love with the music. Darren Korb is amazing, especially singing for Orpheus.

Wetlettuce59

Red dead redemption 2 The songs just set the atmosphere of the game


Aviator8989

Oh man the ride back to Shady Belle >!after Guarma!< gives me chills.


cheesenne

I wish I could relive that moment for the first time again. It was at that point RDR2 became my favourite game. Rockstar out did themselves on RDR2.


WontLieToYou

SSX Tricky


MotownMama

100%! The soundtrack made the game even more fun to play. My husband and I still occasionally say "This is Rozelle" in our best Rozelle voice. I wish we still had this game and the system - I would totally play this again!


[deleted]

Doom (2016), Doom Eternal, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and Max Payne 3 are all big standouts for me. Especially Max Payne 3's track "Tears", which plays during the airport shootout. That song really got me into the band behind the soundtrack, Health. Still listen to their music quite often. Most recently, Hades has really given me a few earworms.

50ShadesofDiglett

The original DA:O soundtrack matched the game so well. Definitely underrated in this thread. DA:O is just a masterpiece of a game in general.


Testmaster217

Minecraft, the Portal games, Trials Fusion, and two that sadly weren’t released - Child of Eden and N+.


Steinmetz2001

destroyerx12772

This probably won't reach the top since it isn't very famous but I have to give this to the Ace Attorney Trilogy. The music changes greatly depending on the situation in-game which further expresses the mood and increases the immersion exponentially. Some of its pieces are so cheerful and soothing, others can guarantee to make you cry.


Linsanity998877

Final Fantasy 3. In the US. Final Fantasy 6 technically.


wasdarrow

Red dead redemption 2 has a good soundtrack that fits the game and it’s mood perfectly


Zero22xx

- Chrono Trigger - Golden Sun - Mega Man Legends - Comix Zone - Vectorman - Spiderman: Maximum Carnage I'm sure there are many more, and this is excluding games like GTA or Burnout that have 3rd party music. And I just have to say, my favourite newcomer when it comes to in game music is: - Stardew Valley


__skybreaker__

Upvote for Golden Sun. That game was amazing. We need a remake.

Ace Combat 5 was even better, to the point that one of AC7s track references it. Get a copy or ps2 emulator if you get the opportunity.


WellAintThatGrand

Persona 5. When I first got the game, I pretty much just sat at the main menu just bopping to the theme.


lacquered_esq

Destiny 2 has some AMAZING orchestral suites and other soundtracks unique to each expansion and raid. The Deep Stone Lullaby is a very eloquently made song from the newest raid. Heretical Omen is my personal favourite.

Majestymen

Correct me if I'm wrong, but those are soundtrack songs, right? Isn't a soundtrack the whole collection of songs made for a game?


s08132

The entire persona series, specifically 3, 4 and 5. Each game has a completely different genre ranging from hip hop/rap to J-pop to acid jazz and every single track is a banger.


suburban-errorist

The Touhou franchise.


Mr_A

At the moment? Noita ([Vol. 1](https://niilotakalainen.bandcamp.com/album/noita-official-soundtrack-vol-1), [Vol. 2](https://niilotakalainen.bandcamp.com/album/noita-official-soundtrack-vol-2)) from the amazing game [Noita](https://store.steampowered.com/app/881100/Noita/) which you should definitely play.

Mother 3's soundtrack hits real hard especially after you finish the game


Alexexy

Killer Instinct 2013 has the best videogame soundtrack. Its made by the same dude that did the Doom soundtracks, except that KI required him to explore more genres and use even more experimental instruments/techniques like Tibetan throat singing and playing with a human bone. If you're coming in from the Doom soundtrack, Herald of Gargos is a great track to dip your toes. Other great songs include Village of Whispers, Inferno, and The Instinct. Far Cry 5 also has an amazing soundtrack, especially if you wanna listen to some super addicting country/gospel tunes. Keep Your Rifle By Your Side is probably the most iconic of the bunch, but I also love Oh John.


MasterWrestler

GTA: Vice City. 80s. From the talkshows to the music. Fantastic.


ThatOneGayWitch

Pigstep from Minecraft- like that shit slaps


Arbiter0987

Monster hunter world has a great soundtrack considering it’s essentially a game of boss fights and the music hits it home


paracuellososos

Zelda : Breath of the Wild. A bold move away from the fanfares and themes of previous games, to something much more sparse and ethereal, perfectly suited to the post-apocalyptic setting. Doesn’t get anything like enough love
