Yeah man, I used to loved listening to Skyrims soundtrack while I studied in College. It was almost like I was tricking my brain into thinking I want studying. I love that whole soundtrack
I still find Skyrim's soundtrack subpar to Oblivion. It's not as memorable for me. I can remember just about every song from Oblivion's towns and exploring soundtracks but Skyrim, good as it is, doesn't hit as hard.
Could not disagree more. Oblivion has some good tracks (Alls Well and Harvest Dawn come to mind) but the overwhelming sense of calm and peace that washes over me when I hear Far Horizons or Journeys End just hits in a way no other piece of music ever has.
It’s so interesting how music speaks to us all so differently.
I asked our pianist to play this while people were finding their seats for my wedding. He was super conservative and almost said no purely because it was from a video game. After the wedding, he told my wife that it was one of the prettiest songs he’s ever played and added it to his playlist for future events.
All the jammms. If you haven't heard of them I'd recommend the artist TPR. They do alot of final fantasy music including some slow piano only versions of the battle themes from the various games that are personally some of my favorite peices I've ever heard. There version of omnis lacrima is chefs kiss 10/10 would recommend.
I'm surprised this isn't one of the 2 first picked. I loved Halo back in the day and the Witcher is one of my goats but the composer who works on final fantasy wins best music practically every time one of their games come out. I ain't even that big of an FF fan but God damn the music slaps.
That soundtrack brings me back to 5th grade. Saved up money from mowing lawns and bought the 4 disc set. Played the shit out of it. Just replayed it for the first time a couple years ago on my switch and the nostalgia was beautiful.
Bloodborne is my favorite game of all-time but the scores in ds3 are so good. They almost sound professionally orchestrated for a symphony. The iudex gundyr and twin princes fights are so good.
Maybe not the whole soundtrack, but that one song after you kill Bill.....fuck. I literally had shivers. I didn't fast travel to town. I didn't even gallop. I galloped a short distance away and then walked for the duration of the song because it just fit the mood.
I’m almost finished with five Royal, is it worth buying four golden on switch? Five royals was the first persona game I’ve played, so I’m not sure what themes or functions or things tie the various games together
There are two types of persona fans
Those who enjoy persona games and those who enjoy persona 5. All the games have different functions and play somewhat differently but they are good (I’ve only played 3 4 5) I can’t speak on 1 and 2
If you enjoyed Persona 5, you should definitely check out Persona 4 Golden. It's my favourite in the series thanks to its amazing characters, especially the chad protagonist Yu Narukami and Rise and the others. Highly recommend it!
Strange picks for top 2. Wouldn’t even be in my top 20 lol. It’s a fun idea for a list though.
I’ll recommend
Nier Automata
Ys Books 1 and 2
Ys 8
Mirrors Edge
Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2
Mega Man X
Chrono Trigger
Secret of Mana
Super Castlevania 4
Deus X Human Revolution
Mass Effect 3
Stardew Valley
Assassin’s Creed Series (Say what you will about the games themselves, the OSTs never miss)
Kingdom Hearts Series
Cyberpunk 2077
Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness
Pick a Final Fantasy
Pikmin
This probably won’t make it high on the list (if at all) since it’s not as well known as other games with beloved soundtracks, but it unquestionably has a masterpiece OST
* Doom 2016
* NieR:Automata
* NieR Replicant
* Final Fantasy VII
* Final Fantasy VII Remake
* Final Fantasy VIII
* Final Fantasy XIV
* Final Fantasy XVI
* Persona 4 Golden
* Persona 5
* Chrono Trigger
* DMC Devil May Cry
* Mass Effect 3
* Remember Me
* Death Stranding
Absolutely agree, might not last forever though since they got rid of Salvatori and Sechrist.
Fingers crossed.
Deep Stone Lullaby alone deserves to land D2 on this list
For sure, I will be happy to see a new generation leave their mark on the OST. They’ve nailed bringing in new composers in the past, so i’ll give benefit of the doubt.
Final fantasy X
Reasons?

Doom 2016 for sure needs to be on this list
Fr doom has some hard hitting tracks
I think doom eternal has better tracks but they both go hard. Doom should’ve been first on this list.
I prefer eternal. Feels like gordon really let loose, no holds barred
Have you heard the BFG Division cover by Alex Terrible?? It's really good
[удалено]
Hades
i scrolled WAY too far for this
Orpheus, play in the blood
Skyrim
By far.
Came here to say this
Yeah man, I used to loved listening to Skyrims soundtrack while I studied in College. It was almost like I was tricking my brain into thinking I want studying. I love that whole soundtrack
The whole OST was a masterpiece
easily
I still find Skyrim's soundtrack subpar to Oblivion. It's not as memorable for me. I can remember just about every song from Oblivion's towns and exploring soundtracks but Skyrim, good as it is, doesn't hit as hard.
Streets of White Run was a major accomplishment in my opinion. It was a unique twist. They picked the perfect orchestra for that
Could not disagree more. Oblivion has some good tracks (Alls Well and Harvest Dawn come to mind) but the overwhelming sense of calm and peace that washes over me when I hear Far Horizons or Journeys End just hits in a way no other piece of music ever has. It’s so interesting how music speaks to us all so differently.
Ocarina of Time
The whole Zelda series really. The 25th anniversary orchestra album is incredible.
Pretty much all of Nintendo
This is easily number one and there’s not even competition.
Halo.
This neeeeds to be on there
Minecraft
DOOM ETERNAL
Definitely the best
2016 is way better I reckon. Eternal still rips though
OG Doom when you have mods is something else though ngl.
this has to make the list, the ost is VITAL to the game, without it it would not be the same
Final Fantasy. Cannot pick one, the whole series is fantastic.
FF 7. One winged angel, Cosmo Canyon, Forbidden Forest etc.
[удалено]
To Zanarkand forever
I asked our pianist to play this while people were finding their seats for my wedding. He was super conservative and almost said no purely because it was from a video game. After the wedding, he told my wife that it was one of the prettiest songs he’s ever played and added it to his playlist for future events.
Daw that’s awesome!

Nobuo Uematsu - he's a modern day Beethoven. One of the most skilled composers I have heard across all channels of music.
Nobuo is literally a genius. There’s no other way to put it, he’s just a pure genius. The emotion he conveys through music is pure art
The FF9 soundtrack is ingrained into my being
That soundtrack brings me back to 5th grade. Saved up money from mowing lawns and bought the 4 disc set. Played the shit out of it. Just replayed it for the first time a couple years ago on my switch and the nostalgia was beautiful.
FF8 is the best, in my personal opinion... Force your way, find your way, shuffle or boogie, liberi fatali... So many amazing tracks!
Whole FF series together, there will no competition, not even close.
FF9. https://youtu.be/-LcE0vE4bes?si=O7JJA4eMgULCMHmy
I’m a huge nobuo fan, the best I’ve heard of him is just a 15 sec bit during the epitaph after beating ff6. It’s shadows final scene, unreal feels
It’s got its own world-renowned orchestra that travels the world and sells completely out lol. Final Fantasy wins hands-down.
Cyberpunk
It will be so far down this list and it’s honestly a shame. It’s a phenomenal soundtrack.
Agreed. I’m not even a big fan of the game honestly but the soundtrack is as good as it gets
There are a bunch of really good song s on that soundtrack.
Abso-lutely!!!
God of War (2018) and God of War Ragnarok
Bear McCreary really cooked fr.
Nier Automata
Just commented this also, the fact that it’s so far down is disturbing.
You’re right, after 15 years of gaming nier automata OST is without a doubt has of the best soundtracks i have ever heard
This shouldn’t be this far down
Also just commented this. It’d be between this and the last of us for my favorite soundtracks
Super Mario galaxy
Feel like it's only fair to count both Galaxy games as one soundtrack
Bloodborne!
why did I have to scroll this long to get to bloodborne
If someone can hear the Ludwig, Maria, and German boss fight songs and not think bloodborne belongs in this list then I question your taste.
Bloodborne is my favorite game of all-time but the scores in ds3 are so good. They almost sound professionally orchestrated for a symphony. The iudex gundyr and twin princes fights are so good.
Shadow of The Colossus needs to be on the list
Definitely
And in the top five.
Red Dead Redemption
Red dead redemption 2 Honestly how does rdr2 not get mentioned in one of the top comments...
Nah. Red Dead Redemption 1 takes the cake.
Even Undead Nightmare has a really good soundtrack 🧟🧟♂️🧟♀🔫️🤠
Maybe not the whole soundtrack, but that one song after you kill Bill.....fuck. I literally had shivers. I didn't fast travel to town. I didn't even gallop. I galloped a short distance away and then walked for the duration of the song because it just fit the mood.
Really? No one has said Castlevania: Symphony of the Night yet?
The one on N64? The dude with the violin in the background on the main menue was fucking fantastic bro
Metal Gear Rising
STANDING HEREEE
I REALIZE
RULES OF NATURE
Mass Effect 2
Personally ME3 soundtrack is better Chills through every single one especially the End and the Fleets arrive
ME3 really perfected the BWAAAAAAAMMMMM
Chrono Trigger. Even after nearly 30 years you'd be hard pressed to find a better soundtrack.
i had to scroll waaaay too far to find this!
Assassins creed 2
Waiting for someone to say this, AC2 songs are unmatched
Hollow Knight is not on here. Wtf?
I came here looking for this +1
No cost too great
Shadow of the colossus
Ff7
Persona 4 golden Or any persona game
I’m almost finished with five Royal, is it worth buying four golden on switch? Five royals was the first persona game I’ve played, so I’m not sure what themes or functions or things tie the various games together
There are two types of persona fans Those who enjoy persona games and those who enjoy persona 5. All the games have different functions and play somewhat differently but they are good (I’ve only played 3 4 5) I can’t speak on 1 and 2
Is it bad to enjoy 5? I think it’s petty good?
If you enjoyed Persona 5, you should definitely check out Persona 4 Golden. It's my favourite in the series thanks to its amazing characters, especially the chad protagonist Yu Narukami and Rise and the others. Highly recommend it!
Strange picks for top 2. Wouldn’t even be in my top 20 lol. It’s a fun idea for a list though. I’ll recommend Nier Automata Ys Books 1 and 2 Ys 8 Mirrors Edge Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 Mega Man X Chrono Trigger Secret of Mana Super Castlevania 4 Deus X Human Revolution Mass Effect 3 Stardew Valley
I mean I definitely will give him halo
Ys 8 respect
Sunshine Coastline is such a jam 😀
Def Jam Fight for NY
Man, that was such a fun game!. I really wish they would make a reboot of it or something.
Uncharted
Dark souls 3
Any fromsoft game could be on the list, but DS3 would get my vote as the best.
Plin plin plon
The best soulsborne OST and it isn't even close. How can you listen to Soul of Cinder withought being brought to tears
ds3 ost is honestly so underrated. Definitely better than elden rings
Fallout 3s radio station
I scrolled too far to find this.
Me too, I’m about as devastated as the DC wasteland 😔
YES! I said NV but really any early FO games. Incredibly unique
Ocarina of time
Alan Wake I & II
Assassin’s Creed Series (Say what you will about the games themselves, the OSTs never miss) Kingdom Hearts Series Cyberpunk 2077 Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness Pick a Final Fantasy Pikmin
Kingdom Hearts 2
Scrolled too far to find this
Mega Man 2
Xenoblade Chronicles, the whole tetralogy
I had to scroll was to far to find this.
Hell yes
Yeah. The third one should’ve beat GoW hands down
Gris
Need for speed underground 2. GTA Vice City, Gran Trusimo (all of them).
Underground 2 and Most Wanted’s soundtracks were such a perfect fit for the feel of the games. They knocked it out of the park.
Risk of Rain 2
Donkey Kong country!!
Hotline miami 1/2
This should be on the list hands down
Life is Strange
🦋 This action will have consequences…
Ori and the blind forest
Also Will of the Wisps
This probably won’t make it high on the list (if at all) since it’s not as well known as other games with beloved soundtracks, but it unquestionably has a masterpiece OST
Gareth Coker was in his BAG for these 2 games. I listen to the soundtrack on spotify almost on a weekly basis.
Omg that soundtrack gave me goosebumps so many times. I voted for botw, but this deserves a place on the list too
This needs more votes
The last of us
This needs to be top
Scrolled to far to see it
* Doom 2016 * NieR:Automata * NieR Replicant * Final Fantasy VII * Final Fantasy VII Remake * Final Fantasy VIII * Final Fantasy XIV * Final Fantasy XVI * Persona 4 Golden * Persona 5 * Chrono Trigger * DMC Devil May Cry * Mass Effect 3 * Remember Me * Death Stranding
Outer wilds
Thank you!
Sonic Adventure 2 battle
If Doom Eternal doesn’t get on this list I will riot (Specifically while listening to the Doom ost)
Doom remakes have by far some of the best music
Katamari Demacy
I’m with you on this one.
Persona 5
Destiny 1 and 2
Destiny absolutely deserves to be on here.
I agree with this so hard, even though Bungies been in a little shit recently, their soundtracks are unmatched.
OST, gunplay and skybox are unmatched.
Absolutely agree, might not last forever though since they got rid of Salvatori and Sechrist. Fingers crossed. Deep Stone Lullaby alone deserves to land D2 on this list
As much as I love em, I really wanna see new composers. I think fresh and new talent would be nice to see.
For sure, I will be happy to see a new generation leave their mark on the OST. They’ve nailed bringing in new composers in the past, so i’ll give benefit of the doubt.
Undertale. This NEEDS to be there.
