Gaming

Bastion, Beyond Good & Evil, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within.

Primarily a mix of Old School RPGs (FFVI, Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger) and some current RPGs (Persona 5, NieR: Automata)

RuneScape of course

I think my absolute favorite that I haven't seen here is Gris. This game is absolutely beautiful as is the OST.

The Trine series is an underappreciated masterpiece. I've never heard so many waltzes in a game before.

Genshin Impact's soundtrack is also gorgeous.

The Firewatch OST is pretty good and emotional

Ace Combat 5 and Zero. 4's was good but not nearly as orchestral or over the top.

Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross will always bring me to tears. 💙 Also Robo's Theme is a banger!

I used to fall asleep to a Morrowind OST CD.

2 for me donkey kong country and turtles in time

Oblivion, I've listening to it while doing homework and it always help me concentrate

Super Mario Odyssey - 1 UP Girl is a phenomenal song, and the rest of the soundtrack rocks as well. Bonus points for every track having an 8-bit version

Final Fantasy IV - My first SNES game. I still have that entire OST burned into my mind. The first time I heard the full orchestral version of the FF theme (I had played FF1 previously) blew me away

Outer Wilds - Better when heard in-game. I still tear up hearing certain pieces

Mega Man X2 - SNES era Capcom music at its best

The Great Ace Attorney - Really the whole series, but I think this one is my favourite. Capcom has great composers. The theme at 221 Baker Street is the coziest music

It’s got to be Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross, and really everything by Nobuo Uematsu.

Also you can’t go past Koji Kondo. Ocarina of Time is a great example of how talented he is.

That one single song that played on the load screen of Boiling Point - Road to Hell. It was incredibly good and I still listen to it from time to time. Boiling Point Road to Hell Main Theme

Definitely the Deadbolt Soundtrack by Chris Christodoulou. I can listen to it pretty much every day and it really makes the game much better.

For me, the Age of Conan MMORPG game had one of the best OSTs ever. Amazing and epic sounds combined with a great game.

Every Korean anime online game i've ever played has had an unnecessarily good soundtrack. Maplestory, Mabinogi, LaTale, S4League, GunZ: The duel, the list literally never ends.

torn between Rain World and Hyper Light Drifter

I really enjoyed the OST of the Ace Attorney games (especially the first one), Shadow of The Colossus, Kingdom Hearts, Hotel Dusk and Xenoblade Chronicles... I could go on though.

Star Control 2. 4 musicians contributed without collaborating directly, resulting in many creative alien races having unique and memorable theme music.

I looked over the whole list and noticed it's lacking one Rise of the Triad 2012 and Distance.

I would mention Rez and DJ Max, but it feels a little silly to mention Music based games for good OSTs.

And apparently I need to go listen to the OSTs for rain world and journey. They got multiple recommendations on here.

Not sure if favourite, but Minecraft soundtrack hits different now

-Persona 4 & 5

-Paradise Killer

-Celeste

-Hotline Miami

-Signalis

-Oxenfree

-Coffee Talk

are all in my normal album rotation

I'm a huge fan of Destiny 2's OSTs - the game definitely has some issues every now and then, but the art of the game (the music, the sounds, the environmental skyboxes, textures, etc) never fail me. I especially like the OSTs for each of the game's raids.

Here's my favorite song from the newest raid, "Root of Nightmares" - it ties in so well with what is actually occurring in that encounter, you get to move the planets of our solar system around! There's also an "Action" phase to the song that starts to play as you begin making the boss vulnerable, which most of the raid encounter songs tend to have.

Similarly, this song belongs to the final boss encounter for that same raid.

Then there's this song which wasn't from a raid, but one of the early expansions. It still gives me shivers when I hear the beginning of it, and then it starts to really ramp up towards the last third of the track.

Seriously, Destiny's music never ceases to amaze me! I didn't ever expect a whole season themed around pirates (though we did get a dungeon that was pirate themed before this), and got some killer music to go with it!

Ridge Racer Type 4

I have yet to find a racing game that makes me trance away with their scenic levels and music like this one.

Been replaying it since forever waiting for Namco to make a remaster or continuing the series

It just has to be Undertale. I constantly keep coming back to it. Deltarune is nice too but the Undertale OST is just so good.

Chorus is an underrated game with an amazing main theme
