Crono Cross, the PS1 spiritual successor of Crono Trigger, has such an amazing soundtrack too.
Also, the Witcher 3, such a perfect soundtrack.

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.

I recently played Hi Fi Rush, and walking into the first boss and hearing the song choice got me so hyped. I was chasing that high for the rest of the game. The whole soundtrack really felt catered for me, specifically, but that one NIN track in that moment got me more pumped than anything else.

I love so many video game soundtracks, so I’ll try to just list a few:
- Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
- Monster Hunter: Tri (wonderful balance of stirring and cozy)
- Bloodborne (really almost all of FromSoft’s soundtracks, but especially this one)
I also really like Hollow Knight and Hades soundtracks, and of course DOOM (2016) has already been mentioned.

I was going to mention Hollow Knight but figured someone else would want to. Such a fantastic OST.
Also ditto on FromSoft stuff. The other one I was considering mentioning was Dark Souls III. They’re all great but that one is my #1 from them.

City brings me back no matter when I give it a listen. Origins, despite being the black sheep, had an awesome soundtrack too.
Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
Yeah for sure, I actually watched Batman Begins at the cinema this weekend for the 20th anniversary and I’m itching to jump back into the Arkham games after that. Such a great series overall.

Planescape Torment and Icewind Dale. Not all the tracks but many of their tracks are great. I play them on the loop.
Also The Witcher has great soundtracks, I often play them on the loop while I was working.

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.
any1th3r3@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
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.tal@lemmy.today 1 day ago

Nobody’s mentioned this one yet, perhaps because it’s a bit obscure, but Vib-Ribbon (PS1) has such a unique and endearing OSTs. I never played the game, but I heard one of the songs and got totally hooked.

Destiny 2 has some fantastic pieces. Deep Stone Lullaby, Journey, Aethenasia (sp?) to name a few.
Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
Fuck Destiny 2 that piece of shit scam game
That said, you’re totally right. The music was stellar… the whole audio/visual team absolutely killed it. It’s just a shame the rest of the game had to be what it… is.
ICastFist@programming.dev 1 day ago
Gonna list 2 that deserve the “great soundtrack” tag on steam:
- Assault Android Cactus - twin stick shooter/bullet hell with cute android girls blasting robots. Techno stuff, with my 2 favorite tracks being Liquorice (it’s divided in 3 “acts” as it’s a boss music) and Assault
- Cloudbuilt - 3D platformer with focus on speed. I suck at this game, but the tracks are amazing, with my fave being Aurora
Someone else mentioned Unreal 1, but I gotta say, Unreal Tournament 2004 has some absolute bangers, like Morpheus3, Hyperblast Redux, Level11 and Convoy

Rebel Galaxy - country rock genre? Very unique and different sort of music.
Trine 1 & 2 + Transport Fever 1 - instrumental background music good for concentration, working, studying or just relaxing.

Oh it has been a while since I’ve seen Furi mentioned anywhere. Carpenter Brut is a regular on my playlists, and I always forget they helped with the Furi soundtrack.

Haha same, I had wtf moments, when a friend pointed (so far unknown) Brut to me, and the music felt familiar, took me few days to realise Furi.

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.

Evil genius has a soundtrack that fits it perfectly. That game has such a good vibe, like playing The Incredibles if they were trying to take over the world
