Mick Gordon… Hopefully he didn’t get screwed on that one like he did with Doom. It is a wonderful soundtrack.

I got one I’m betting we won’t find on here yet…
Alone in the Dark 5, an incredibly ambitious game that fell short, but had some great ideas.
One of which was how that incredible soundtrack by Oliver Deriviere drove this particular playable sequence, 59th Street .
The whole soundtrack done in conjunction with “The Mystery of Bulgarian Voices” is absolutely stunning for an action-horror title.
It was the best part of the game and an incredible example of meshing soundtrack with cinematic gameplay.
. . . actually? All the stuff he does is freaking awesome, so see/listen to his other titles like:
- Remember Me (Awesomely underrated!)
- Obscure
Other lesser known ones off the top of my head:
- There Came an Echo (by Big Giant Circles. So good they used the theme in Stranger Things Season…2?)
- Anything by Supergiant lol.
- Oni (bungie / rockstar)
I’ll probably add to this if I think of any more. :)

All the Astro Bot games have phenomenal soundtracks, Kenneth CM Young (of MediaMolecule) is brilliant and knows how to write really catchy earworms. Really got stuck listening to Trapped in Time and Papa Tree.

Some which come to mind are:
- Bastion
- Lost Eden
- Duke Nukem 3D
- Flatout 2
- System Shock
- Arcanum …
But there are probably a lot more which I have played and are great.

Megaman 2 still reigns supreme IMO. The most consistent soundtrack for any video game ever. Bangers end-to-end.
Sexy Parodius is also fantastic. It’s a demented mix of jacked up, synthesized classical and folk tunes. This is probably my favorite track: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlRO9Q0dbQA&list=PLAdIErL… The synth-sax is incredible!

SUPER MARIO GALAXY. IT HAS SUCH A LEHENDARY SOUNDTRACK. If you wanna just try it out, first listen to “Gusty Garden Galaxy” Literally one of the most beautiful game soundtracks.
RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Ape Out really only has the one song… but it is perfectly utilized to puncuate the gameplay experience.
BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
The music is the reason I got the game actually, and is also the reason I recommend it to people. The gameplay is also awesome, but the music really sells it and is a core part of the gameplay too.

- Bravely Default kicks with both special and battle themes (go give vagrant of love a try)
-Gran Turismo 4 suuper nice menu themes i especially like hypnosis, the motorious zone, don’t kick yourself and be at home

I think nothing top the JRPGs. My current favs would be Nier: Replicant & Nier: Automata. There’s also this rather obscure game I love called Ar Tonelico in which the music is part of the story; of course that wouldn’t do if the music suck.
Other than that, I love the entire soundtracks for both Cult of the Lamb as well as Stray.
Psythik@lemmy.world 7 months ago
The answer is always Chrono Trigger.
30 years later, and still nothing has topped it. No game even comes close.
Auth@lemmy.world 7 months ago
/u/tal@lemmy.world is a hero for linking all the tracks in this thread.
pyre@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Literally every Supergiant game.

Bunch of bangers on this list already, but the one that sends shivers up my spine to this day is Crusader Kings 2.
BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 7 months ago
skyrim might be THE greatest soundtrack of all time
fallout 1 and 2 (and new vegas as it reuses the soundtrack) are really cool and eerie. fallout 3 and 4 are good too
i quite enjoyed the soundtrack for south of midnight
also, this next one isnt an official soundtrack made for the game but a collection of good songs. but madden 10 has probably the most ludicrously stacked soundtrack ive ever heard for a sports game
BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
Skyrim OST is absolute peak. Hard agree on that. The rest are great too.
the16bitgamer@programming.dev 7 months ago
Fantastic game soundtracks are the ones which I actually go out of my way to acquire. Chrono Trigger, PixelJunkMonsters Deluxe, SimCity 3000, and Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair.
Pacattack57@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Civ 3 has my fav soundtrack. My favorite is this gem you get in the modern era:
hellfroze@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I’m surprised at the lack of love for 13 Sentinels - Aegis Rim here. It’s a little more on the electronic side but fans of the NieR soundtracks in particular would vibe hard with 13S-AR. A couple of standouts - Lysine and Brat Overflow
Gaxsun@lemmy.zip 7 months ago
The entire Ace Combat series, particularly from 4 onward are almost entirely comprised of the best music I’ve ever heard. I couldn’t reccomend all the specific tracks because i’d probably hit some sort of character limit but each game has a “flagship” track which I’ll highlight here:
- Rex Tremendae + Megalith -Agnus Dei-
- The Unsung War (special mention to First Flight)
- Zero
- The Liberation of Gracemeria
- Daredevil
Also will reccomend both the Metal Gear Saga (e.g. …Metal Gear Saga)
And the Boss themes from Metal Gear Rising
- Rules of Nature
- I’m My Own Master Now
- A Stranger I Remain
- The Stains of Time
- Red Sun
- The Only Thing I Know For Reap
- Collective Consciousness
- It Has To Be This Way

OTXO and what’s even more impressive is that the developer of the game made the music himself! GhostRunner had a bangin’ ass soundtrack too.
