  Alright i’ll try to go with things that has not been submitted yet.

  • Ace combat 7 has consistent bangers. Also project wingman in the same style, slightly less consistent, but the best tracks are absolutely amazing (showdown and redline are in my opinion)
  • I did not play Mighty Switch Force and Mighty Switch Force 2, but this game has really good tracks
  • ULTRAKILL is not really out yet, but its soundtrack is already amazing
  • Turrican 2 has some pretty damn good chiptune tracks
  • VA-11 HALL-A which also acts as an amazing background music to work
  • Tekken tag 2 / Tekken 8
  • Distance (this one is probably a bit personal though)

  Aaand i’ll stop there otherwise this will be a way too long post

    Tekken tag 2/ Tekken 8

    There is a Tekken 8 released in 2024, so I’m assuming that you’re referring to Tekken Tag Tournament 2, which was the eighth release in the series.

  Super Monkey Ball 2 - not in the sense that I’d want to sit and listen to them, but they really fit the game super well. And I’ve heard them sampled in actual songs before… Also as YouTube video background music many times.

  I just finished Frostpunk recently and have to say I really enjoyed the soundtrack.

  One that sicks in my memory years after playing it is the soundtrack for Expeditions: Conquistador.

  Chrono Cross OST is probably one of the best sound tracks I’ve ever heard and still listen to regularly.

  Same with most Zelda soundtracks. Wind Waker especially had an amazing OST.

  I don’t think I’ve seen any shmup OST mentioned, but there’s so many that I think are bangers.
  A favourite of mine would be DoDonPachi DaiFukkatsu / Resurrection, specifically Stage 2.

  The developer gets a lot of hate but the Fez soundtrack really complemented the game.

  Also any soundtrack done by Disasterpeace is basically gold.

    Amen.

    My wife loves the game, so I’ve heard a lot of the music, and it may be the best sounding game I’ve ever heard overall. Not just because individual tracks are good, but because they fit the feel of specific scenes and locations so well.

    I could never play it, but it’s one of those rare games where I can sit and read a book happily without the audio being totally annoying.

  Kind of obvious, but Hades is largely just banger after banger, I especially love Good Riddance. No Escape is also a highlight, and the way it’s echoed and enhanced in God of the Dead is fantastic.

  I do think the Wasteland 3 soundtrack doesn’t get enough love, I really enjoyed their takes on some classics.
