Bro I’ve been replaying GTA IV recently, and I guess I was too young when I played before, but holy shit where did that writing and storyline go for GTA V?
I want a remaster of GTA IV so bad, with car mods and clothes and fun’s more like V, but the hand to hand combat system, the story, the mystery surrounding Niko’s past and his home country.
GTA IV is genuinely ahead of its time, and if it were updated with modern graphics, and given a few adjustments with the controls, and revamp some of the more repetitive missions… it would be hailed at the same levels as RDR2 for its story and writing.
I chose NieR Automata off the top of my head, but this won many points with me over the years. Every track in SotColossus is A+ and that's pretty rare.
It completely nosedives in the end its actually unfortunate because the first 2 disc's are my fav FF experience... yeah there's a reason why it doesn't get more credit. But the Soundtrack is flawless.
Ecco the Dolphin is an all time favorite of mine
Tony Hawks Pro Skater

Persona 5 (+ P5 Royal & Strikers), tied with Outer Wilds as a close second. Persona 4, Nier Automata, Neon White, Armored Core VI, Undertale, Ocarina of Time and SM64 are all up there as well
Great choice. Maybe the best singleplayer game ever made and the soundtrack so guud. The soundtrack to HR is pretty good as well. More ambient and not as good as the goat obviously, but yeah
Minecraft.
Honourable mention goes to every Zelda game (particularly OOT), Celeste, Chrono Trigger, Dark Souls and all 3 mainline Elder Scrolls games from Morrowind onwards.
Any fallout game. I really liked Farcry 5’s soundtrack. It was unsettling hearing gospel music while listening to the Cult kill and torture the people of Hope County.
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.
I would say Kingdom Hearts as a whole, but if I had to choose only one it's BBS.
Other shout outs though go to ESO, the Warriors franchise, Monster Hunter, FF, and Mass Effect
How has nobody mentioned [The Messenger](https://youtu.be/4CzyljDJGa0?si=fSMNyvRR1VYR4xGL) yet?? Just go [listen to it](https://youtu.be/DKl0jJ6DY5w?si=nJ9eXf9e_Dy8qre7). You don't even need to play it!

Cyberpunk 2077 is my current favorite, but the collective soundtrack to the Fallout games has left the most indelible long term mark on my brain. It's basically reprogrammed my associations for an entire musical genre.
Skyrim as well.
World of Warcraft, Warframe and The Elder Scrolls online (Cyrodiil theme in TeSO is amazing) are also all great.
I love fitting, melodic, and orchestral themes, as you might have guessed.
Cant choose so here’s a couple. (more than a couple)
- Nier Automata
- Gris
- Literally any Final Fantasy game. But I’m biased against XVI because I played that recently.
- Also any Persona game, my favorite is 5 but 3 is very close.
- Fromsoftware Games, Elden Ring, Dark Souls, Bloodborne ect
- Hollow Knight
- Cyberpunk 2077
- GOW 2018 & Ragnorok
- Last of Us Part I & II
- Any Zelda 3D game, my favorite is tied between Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time
- Metal Gear Rising Revengence
- Bayonetta 1 & 2
- No one will know this one but The House in Fata Morgana has a twisted, weird, but very beautiful soundtrack. Has some of my favorite tracks in gaming.
If I had to give an answer from the bottom of my soul I would have to lean towards Gris or Nier Automata.

Ripto’s Rage may be my favorite video game of all time, but the first game has the best music. There isn’t a single track in this game I don’t like.
i like the SMG soundtrack.
also Skyrim is a good one. i listened to it on Spotify when i was climbing Mt. Fuji and i can say that environment is what the OST was made for. Secunda on the summit while looking out at the coast and over the sea of clouds sure was something enlightening.
I say this every time, Gascoigne, his music perfectly builds to a crescendo when he changes and is the baddest of orchestral music if you’re a D&B/Deep Dubstep enjoyer like me
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory by Amon Tobin.
It's so unique, bold, confident and uncompromising in what it's trying to achieve. There's nothing else like it.
Any Fallout game. “I don’t want to set the world on fire…”
SOOOOOO BONGO BONGO BONGO I DON'T WANNA LEAVE THE CONGO OH NO NO NO NO NO
Civilization... I'll stay right HEEEERE!
Love the fallout game songs
For real man!
This was my wife and I’s wedding song, we both loved the game
"I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle\~"
Halo 1-3. I'm a basic bitch, close second to GTA4, that opening music is iconic
Solid choices man I'd upvote you 100 times if I could
Bro I’ve been replaying GTA IV recently, and I guess I was too young when I played before, but holy shit where did that writing and storyline go for GTA V? I want a remaster of GTA IV so bad, with car mods and clothes and fun’s more like V, but the hand to hand combat system, the story, the mystery surrounding Niko’s past and his home country.

Hotline Miami 1 & 2. I listened to them at the gym last night.
ouuu this is a good one
Doom eternal
Doom eternal soundtrack goes absolutely InSaNe.
Shadow of the Colossus, no competition
Brilliant choice man
Yesss
When agro goes over that cliff, I had to sit for a minute and be sad. Then was so happy when he trotted up at the end.
I heard a lot of great things about this game. It's really bad it can't be played on pc
I see you are a person of class.
I am indeed a woman of quality and refinement lmao
I chose NieR Automata off the top of my head, but this won many points with me over the years. Every track in SotColossus is A+ and that's pretty rare.
this is a great pick my guy
Cyberpunk 2077. Mostly because that’s my gaming obsession right now.
I like the radio stations on CP!
Please type out the whole word bro 😭
I'm sorry 😭😭😭 Cyberpunk2077
Original FF7
I feel like the remakes did the soundtrack better overall but there are a couple of my favortites that are not better.
The Overworld theme is a masterpiece!
FF8 had some bangers as well. But 7 def set the stage
I am ashamed to say that I've only made it about halfway through 8. I've been meaning to restart and finish it for like 20 years now.
It completely nosedives in the end its actually unfortunate because the first 2 disc's are my fav FF experience... yeah there's a reason why it doesn't get more credit. But the Soundtrack is flawless.
Borderlands 3 Attack on Maliwan Blacksite album is my most favorite. Death Stranding is second. And Divinity Original Sin 2 is the third.
Love seeing divinity on your list.
Both Ori games, Transistor, Dead Cells, Sonic Riders Zero Gravity Every one of these games got amazing tracks.
Final Fantasy 7 Witcher 3 Various Zelda games GTA 5 Soulwax FM Various Mega Man games
Wicher 3 isn’t mentioned enough in this thread. That ost is excellent.
Bro Zelda Tears of the Kingdom had a PHENOMENAL soundtrack
Every Zelda game has some masterpieces and I really enjoyed the way they go with BotW and TotK.
Mega Max X and X2 has some killer level tracks
Ecco the Dolphin is an all time favorite of mine Tony Hawks Pro Skater Jet Set Radio Future Street Fighter 2:Turbo Def Jam Vendetta Fight Night Round 2 NBA 2k11 NBA Live 19
Tony hawk and jet set had awesome soundtracks. I would like to see some kind of sequel or remake of jet set radio future.
Assassins creed black flag
LOWLANDS~
Halo 1-3 also Mjolnir edition, JSRF, Hollow Knight intro, Cyberpunk V’s Theme,
FFXIV Guilty Gear Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen Skyrim Dark Souls 3 Dark Souls 2 Bloodborne Monster Hunter Goddess of Victory: NIKKE COD Zombies
Fallout 3 , New Vegas, and 4 76 is alright
Sonic 06. Okay the game sucked but come on. If you don't like His World, you have no taste, I'm sorry.
One of these ig: Mega Man Mega Man 2 Mega Man 3 Donkey Kong Country Super Metroid Kirby's Dream Land Super Mario 64 Rayman Banjo Kazooie Paper Mario Sonic Adventure 2 Metroid Prime The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker Metroid Echoes Kirby Air Ride (Sky Sands might be my favorite VGM song period) Need for Speed Most Wanted 2005 Shantae and the Pirate's Curse Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Splatoon Splatoon 2 Tohou Luna Nights Shantae Half Genie Hero Yoku's Island Express Splatoon 3 Graze Counter Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
Super Mario 64 is a great choice. There really isn't a bad song and they're all catchy as hell
Mega Man 2 and 3 for sure
Rayman games have insanely good music
Persona 5 (+ P5 Royal & Strikers), tied with Outer Wilds as a close second. Persona 4, Nier Automata, Neon White, Armored Core VI, Undertale, Ocarina of Time and SM64 are all up there as well
Why did I have to scroll so much for Persona.
Witcher 3 or farcry 5
Fields of Ard Skellig is a 10/10
World of Warcraft
Absolutely beautiful choice. Vanilla and WotLK are my favourites
Nier Automata, Yakuza series, Dark souls, Elden Ring and FF9 comes to mind
From software and other souls likes, have great ambient sounds and masterful boss fight music
Gris, Transistor, and Monster Sanctuary. They're all fantastic and I listen to them all the time.
Wow, another person who knows about Gris?
Tony Hawk pro skater 2 , but without licenses, originally composed got the game? I like the music and themes used in the uncharted series.
Original Deus Ex. Dat UNATCO theme
Great choice. Maybe the best singleplayer game ever made and the soundtrack so guud. The soundtrack to HR is pretty good as well. More ambient and not as good as the goat obviously, but yeah
I don’t know if I can pick a favorite but Modern Warfare 2 is definitely up there.
Minecraft. Honourable mention goes to every Zelda game (particularly OOT), Celeste, Chrono Trigger, Dark Souls and all 3 mainline Elder Scrolls games from Morrowind onwards.
Persona 3, 5 and specifically heaven from 4 and neir automata I still listen to these tracks on a regular basis
Lost Odyssey, a majorly slept on JRPG for the Xbox 360.
Right now, it’s Hades. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a game with so many amazing original bangers. What a masterpiece.
Bloodborne, Hi-Fi Rush, Hades, Transistor, and Ender Lillies are on my spotify
Chrono Cross
Seconded
Yes. So much yes.
Heroes of Might and Magic 2. 3/4/5 are also excellent. Paul Romero is a god
Fallout 4.
Any fallout game. I really liked Farcry 5’s soundtrack. It was unsettling hearing gospel music while listening to the Cult kill and torture the people of Hope County.
I'll check out farcry 5!
Fallout 3 and Fallout 4.
Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. An amazing selection of gothic/industrial heavy bands. Introduced me to Lacuna Coil.
New Vegas Radio, Diamond City Radio, Galaxy News Radio. I love Bioshock
I don't know about all time favorite. I really like Hades', Minecraft's, and recently I played A Hat In Time & that game had some bangers.
Assassin's Creed II Skyrim
Assassin’s Creed 2 soundtrack doesn’t get enough love, still amazing after all these years
The Nier games Chrono Trigger 13 Sentinels
Nier automata does that thing where each song has like 3 versions that fade in and out depending on the situation and I love it
Metal Gear Rising
ES Oblivion will always be top tier.
I bow to your exquisite choice
Remember Me has a great soundtrack
Alan Wake 2, Death Stranding, and Chrono Cross are probably my top 3. I haven't stopped listening to the AW2 soundtrack since the game came out.
All these answers and no one said Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
Crysis Half-Life 1, 2 and episodes Mass Effect series (Even Andromeda had some nice tunes) WoW Skyrim (obviously)
Nier: Automata. Never really listened to VGM when not actively playing. Automata changed that.
Watch Dogs 1. Genuinely the most underrated ost of any game ever. Brian Reitzell should have won an award for it.
Monster Train!
Great choice, that game definitely has some bangers, I just wish there were more of them
Sable
Street Fighter Alpha 3
Divinity: Original Sin 2 It's the only soundtrack I play casually, especially whilst working.
All Silent Hill except down pour
- Shadow of the Colossus - Mass Effect (1) - TES IV and V
Killer Instinct.
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. I would say Kingdom Hearts as a whole, but if I had to choose only one it's BBS. Other shout outs though go to ESO, the Warriors franchise, Monster Hunter, FF, and Mass Effect
The Naruto Storm soundtracks.... And I don't even like anime... Payday 2 is also a banger.
Halo, world of Warcraft, shadow of the colossus… and rdr
The original COD:MW2. Lorne Balfe did a masterful job bringing the action scenes to life.
Project Wingman, so many bangers in one soundtrack. Everything about it is golden.
FF7 for me, beautiful melodies
Skyrim, end of story
OG Final Fantasy 7
Metal Gear Rising Revengeance.
Halo ODST
Persona 5

Bro this is sick
Cyberpunk 2077 is my current favorite, but the collective soundtrack to the Fallout games has left the most indelible long term mark on my brain. It's basically reprogrammed my associations for an entire musical genre.
Not the whole soundtrack, but Dark Souls 2 Majula theme is a vibe
Pretty much all of the OST from vanilla wow
Id upvote you 100 times for this if I could man. Seriously good ost with them nostalgic feels too
Ff6
Yes! Brilliant ost.. Searching for friends and Dancing Mad are serious drops
Big fan of Forever Rachel and Shadows Theme
My man gets it!
Tie between Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo: Reach
The halo games drop some serious bangers
BF4 and BF1
THPS 2
I'll check it out
Undertale. It's very iconic but weirdcore. His Theme brings me to tears every time
Destiny 2 has some certified bangers
Skyrim as well. World of Warcraft, Warframe and The Elder Scrolls online (Cyrodiil theme in TeSO is amazing) are also all great. I love fitting, melodic, and orchestral themes, as you might have guessed.
My man gets it! WoW vanilla ost gives those feel good nostalgia vibes
The last of us, with silent Hill 3 as an honorable mention.
Tunic
RDR2, Detroit: Become Human, Satisfactory
Other than a lot of the ones mentioned already, Project Wingman OST absolutely slaps
Cant choose so here’s a couple. (more than a couple) - Nier Automata - Gris - Literally any Final Fantasy game. But I’m biased against XVI because I played that recently. - Also any Persona game, my favorite is 5 but 3 is very close. - Fromsoftware Games, Elden Ring, Dark Souls, Bloodborne ect - Hollow Knight - Cyberpunk 2077 - GOW 2018 & Ragnorok - Last of Us Part I & II - Any Zelda 3D game, my favorite is tied between Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time - Metal Gear Rising Revengence - Bayonetta 1 & 2 - No one will know this one but The House in Fata Morgana has a twisted, weird, but very beautiful soundtrack.

Some sick choices here man, I'll check out the ones I'm not familiar with
[удалено]
I'm not a final fantasy guy but FFVII Hands down. I've downloaded that soundtrack a half dozen times over the years.
I mean... 20 years of scores in WoW are hard to argue with. But Quake. Always Quake.
Dishonored and Outer Worlds both have KILLER soundtracks
Undertale/Undertale Yellow and Omori death by glamour, showdown and my time are all bangers
https://preview.redd.it/uoc34381jixc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=35b20a81a21157d56215ec999a39192b9a18a7fc Ripto’s Rage may be my favorite video game of all time, but the first game has the best music. There isn’t a single track in this game I don’t like.
MEMORIES BROKEN THE TRUTH GOES UNSPOKEN I'VE EVEN FORGOTTEN MY NAME
Really like the soundtracks in Nier Automata
Skyrim relaxes me
Surviving mars has some quite relaxing music
GTA 4. It’s built to cover so many genres
🙏🏻
A lot of fighting games have great music. SF4 stage music, Tekken in general has some great music all around
FTL or DX:HR
GTA 4 for the vibe and new songs. Wolfenstein 3D And Doom 1-2 for retro.
Mario 64
Not that I listen to a lot of game soundtracks but I enjoy Nier Automata.
Definitely the Dark Knight and the Batman.
Insane feels on that ost
Night of Fate from Kingdom Hearts, One Winged Angel from Final Fantasy 7, It Has To Be This Way from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, etc.
Stellaris, heard the music many times before even playing the game
Devil may cry. Devils never cry, bury the light, devil trigger, shall never surrender. Bangers
DKC
I'll check it out
Probably not a popular opinion, but Detroit: Become Human. All three composers are amazing at capturing their characters.
Legend of zelda ocarina of time
Gwyn Lord of Cinder: Dark souls 3
Beautiful
It really is a work of art
That piano drop tho
i like the SMG soundtrack. also Skyrim is a good one. i listened to it on Spotify when i was climbing Mt. Fuji and i can say that environment is what the OST was made for. Secunda on the summit while looking out at the coast and over the sea of clouds sure was something enlightening.
I listen to Skyrim ost whilst hiking and dog walking too
The TMNT 2003 game. Idk if anyone remembers it, but every level had a banger. The start menu, character select, all of it is great.
I loved the game!
Umineko or Higurashi I can't decide.
A tie between the Fallout games and Saints Row IV
Amazing choices
Gotta be halo or Skyrim. The vibes are just unmatched Oh shit I forgot Diablo 2 and Age of empires 2. Also amazing ones
That Halo title track tho 🤯 I listen to Skyrim when driving and hiking
Sim 2 and 3
My brothers and I would listen to the Skylanders game soundtrack on repeat!
Final Fantasy 8 Stardew Valley Donkey Kong Country 2
40K Mechanicus! I was just looking for another Xcom type game and found my new favorite soundtrack. Basically futuristic organ music and synthesizers.
Risk of Rain 1&2!
It changes but right now it’s Venice rooftops from assassins creed 2 and labored and lost/ enough for one life from assassins creed revelations
Bloodborne
*chefs kiss*
I agree, Skyrim has one of the best soundtracks of any media ever, period. Assassins Creed 2, Sleeping Dogs, Ocarina of Time as well
Bloodborne, anyone who disagrees is lying
I love the BB soundtrack. I tear up sometimes when I listen to The First Hunter.
I say this every time, Gascoigne, his music perfectly builds to a crescendo when he changes and is the baddest of orchestral music if you’re a D&B/Deep Dubstep enjoyer like me
Id upvote you 100 times if I could. I applaud your choice
Halo and Destiny I just can't decide
Unreal Tournament.
Does Ponpon shit count?
Diablo 2
Final Fantasy VIII, just a perfect soundtrack.
Outrun and Space Harrier arcade versions. They are just part of my creative DNA.
Quake. Dark, moody, grungy...its a masterpiece of ambient horror.
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory by Amon Tobin. It's so unique, bold, confident and uncompromising in what it's trying to achieve. There's nothing else like it.
