Comment on What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks?

Bastion. It’s Bastion. Holy shit the answer to this question is Bastion.
I’m assuming you know that Hades’ soundtrack is fucking amazing, but before that came Bastion (from the same developer), and it has possibly the most powerful soundtrack I’ve ever experienced. The way it’s integrated into the story genuinely blows my mind. Every track is a banger, but then you’ll start to get used to it, and then you’ll hear a song that’s so different, and it’s because something unexpected and beautiful is about to happen.
Then you’ll get to the end and you’ll have a choice to make. Except it won’t feel like a choice, because you’ll feel compelled to do exactly what the game wants you to do, and then you’re rewarded with one of the most beautiful sequences I’ve ever seen in a game, accompanied by a haunting song that I still sing fourteen years later.
I can’t stress this enough: if you want a game where the music is an essential part of the experience and is just so fucking amazing on its own that you’ll want to play it on repeat, the answer is Bastion.
I also really loved the soundtrack to Baldur’s Gate 3.

Thank you for providing all these links.
Love the writeup on Bastion. I have very similar feelings about Aquaria, an indie metroidvania from the beforetimes. The entire game is centered around the soundtrack, weaving the motifs into the game’s narrative. Even moreso than Bastion or Undertale, Aquaria makes it’s soundtrack a key narrative driver.
That sounds interesting, but it looks like it’s not available on any of my platforms, so I’ll have to take your word for it.
Yeah, pretty sure it’s just on PC. And the Dev passed away a few years ago so it’s essentially abandonware

I prefered Transistor, but it is probably just because I played it first.
