  I’ve started recognizing when a section of a game feels baller, but it’s 99% because of the soundtrack. They can have the most generic basis for an emotional scene, and then as long as the music nails the mood it could be just blocks on a screen.

  Final Fantasy XIV has had awe-inspiring tracks for the finales of each expansion since Shadowbringers; pretty much starting at the final zone through the final dungeon and trial.

  Ace Attorney always gets it with its confrontation tracks; it could just be two people arguing in a hallway and it turns the battle of words into the most epic thing.

  I’ll also give a shout out to Ori and the Blind Forest / Will of the Wisps. For both of those, it’s not just a few banger tracks for the exciting moments; even the downtime tracks are so memorable.

  No game will ever have a better soundtrack than Halo 3

  Mechanicus and

  Ixion

  Both games came out fairly recent and have OSTs by Guillaume David. They are both good games on their own, but get great due to the OST.

  I listen to Stellaris OST a lot these days. Turns out that good music to plan galactic domination is also good music to design and build software.

  Hard pick because I listen to a game or series for a while, then another. Just today I went and listened to a lot of Sonic tracks, which I do once every few months. I guess Atlus games (SMT, Persona, EO), Metal Gear Rising, Ace Attorney, TWEWY are in the lead off the top of my head, but after a month I might give a different answer. My relaxing music playlist is mostly arrangements of Etrian Odyssey 1+2, so let’s go with that.

  Rome Total War

  Anno 1602

  Stronghold

  I suspect I’m driven by nostalgia and by literally hundreds of hours of repeat exposure.

  To The Moon

  I have played that game five times (so I could share the experience with other people) and have broken down into tears at the end every time.

  Unreal Tournament 2004 is my favorite OST by number of tracks that I love. It has several absolute banger tracks, like Morpheus3, Hyperblast-Redux, Convoy, Atlantis and Level11. I often keep a number of those tracks on my playlists.

  Although I don’t like the game itself much (I suck at it), Cloudbuilt also has some awesome tracks, my personal favorite is Aurora. The guitar chords at the apex is just heavenly.

  Rebel Galaxy has some very nice stuff to feel like a 'merican space cowboy, it’s mostly licensed music as far as i can tell.

  Assault Android Cactus usually gets your blood pumping hard, which is great because the game is a pretty fun twin-stick arena. The tracks Assault and Licorice are just 👨‍🍳😙👌

  … Come to think of it, looking at my list, I’m a real sucker for sci-fi OSTs, huh. I do want to make honorable mentions to Mass Effect (mostly 2), Skyrim and Smash Bros. Ultimate
