Skyrim, it’s why I keep going back to it. I don’t think I have ever played anything where the music has elevated it so much. It’s almost like a comfort thing going back to it.
Gaming What is the best video game soundtrack ever
- Thread starter Woodzy
- Start date
RDR2 has some incredible songs though. Unbroken and That’s the Way It Is are just amazing needle drop moments when they come in.
I love going back to Solitude just for the music there.
Streets of Rage - Moon Beach
The final mission song in the RDR2 is gaming history...
The original Gran Turismo on PS1.
This guy knows what's up!
Ocarina of Time's soundtrack is right up there with me, for sure. Shenmue's also gives me all kinds of feelings. Same with the sequel.
Would have to put The Witcher 3's soundtrack at the top somewhere, too. Love Novigrad's themes, but the tunes as you're traipsing around Skellige are immense, too.
A little bit cheating in a way as it's a bit of a mega-mix, but the Super Smash Bros. Melee soundtrack is special to me.
A little bit out there, but the OST for Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun, too. Still rocks, to this day.
My choice was going to be Secret of Mana! Different composers but clearly Square have good taste. Into The Thick Of It and A Phantom And A Rose are incredible on SoM. I've not played LoM.
Other picks from me have already been mentioned here - Ocarina of Time and Super Mario World.
If we're talking original soundtracks, Sonic Adventure 1 has always had a special place for me
Skies of Arcadia too...
I miss the Dreamcast
Yes! I was going to mention this. Loved how every place had it's own OST. So much music, so much of it beautiful.

Was about to type this. Full of epic stuff from top to bottom, but the Raphael's final act was simply brilliant. If you cast silence he stops singing tooBaldur’s Gate 3 was pretty awesome, especially Rafael signing along to his own theme song
.Btw Larian liked it so much they let Borislav Slavov appear as the god of music in the epilogue!
THPS1 smacks the tits off of THPS2.
Dead Kennedys, Unsane, Suicidal Tendencies and that one Goldfinger song >> anything on THPS2.
The Consumed song on THPS2 is killer, but Papa Roach drags it down.

I like to lick lovingly around the center, and then thrust my tongue in the middle
I like to munch it vigorously.
Of the recent ones max payne 3 and inside were memorable for me.
The latter doesn't exactly have anything you could call a conventional soundtrack but it works quite well when you're playing through the game itself.

Haha, I think Superman is still the only Goldfinder song I know, and I frequently can't get it out of my head.
SSX, GTA, NFS, THPS, FIFA etc. are VA compilations. I loved most of the songs included, but it would be more interesting if I only include games with OST personally made for them or by the studio itself.
so I'd go with something like Unreal Tournament, older Diablo games, Elder Scrolls games, NWN, Fable, Tekken, Silent Hill, Parappa the Rapper, perhaps ancient Sonic games, Magic Jewelry...
I'm forgetting some obvious titles no doubt.

Amiga had truly ruthless soundtracks. Turrican 2, Super Frog, Lotus II, Chaos Engine, Wings of Fury, and then there was this:
That tone and vibe was inimitable, and sounded cleaner even than SNES sound chip which was quite awesome thing then.
Another fantastic score I had completely forgotten about, especially the final track.
I don‘t think it‘s the best - that would be Streets of Rage 2 obviously - but since I haven‘t seen it being mentioned so far: shout out to Monkey Island 2.
Hotline Miami and Brigador
