Personally, I'm a huge fan of Hollow Knight, Ori and the (Blind Forest/Will of the Wisps), and Kingdom Hearts. Orchestral soundtracks are just something else...

MGS series soundtracks are pretty dope.

[–] rskn@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I haven't finished the game yet, but Journey's OST is simply amazing.

[–] ClonedPuffin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Vanilla WoW, Celeste, and Mirrors Edge all makes me feel like when I played the games for the first time as soon as I hear them. Fantastic evocative soundtrack.

Kingdom hearts had some amazing original pieces and spins on classics.

One of my fav from the piano collection; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqmBRC6IOAs&t=11

Of course Halo 1, 2 and 3 aaand sims 2.

For me it's Skyrim. Streets of Whiterun, Masser, Jerral Mountains, Under an Ancient Sun, so many tracks that just instantly transport me back to the world I was immersed in throughout most of high school. They bring a sense of peace that comes from exploring in a simpler time.

Need for Speed Carbon especially the electronic music is underrated

[–] FatalChessInjury@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Endless Space 2. The best OST I have ever come across in 20+ years of gaming. Several hundred hours in and I'm still not sick of any of the tracks.

Disasterpeace is an AMAZING composer and has done some stellar work in both video games and film as well. Here's a couple of my favorites from video games:

Yes!!!! The Fez OST is SO GOOD

[–] flak@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

I’ve always been a big fan of pretty much all of the Persona series’ soundtracks.

Mass Destruction from Persona 3 is just *chefs kiss*

[–] D3mon@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

All 3 Xenoblade Chronicles games have some of my all-time favorite game music

Riven gives me goosebumps every time.

I haven't even played Machinarium or Samorost 3, but both of those soundtracks are masterpieces.

Definitely the Halo games for me. I think Halo 2 would be my fav.

I also just really like the music from Sonic. Sonic Generations had a great OST.

[–] NightmareQueenJune@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] StrahdVonZarovich@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is surprisingly good. Surtur's theme is one of the best boss themes ive ever heard. I also really like using the Battle Brothers ost for my Pathfinder games.

[–] Zagaroth@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Final Fantasy XIV is my singular favorite, but given all its expansions that might be cheating a touch. ;) The Final Fantasy series in general tends to have great music.

Nier series, chrono trigger, Skyrim, and there are a lot of others I've liked as well, but I think that covers all my favorites. :)

[–] MRPP@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Necrodancer soundtrack is criminally good.

I definitely love hollow Knight's, if it wasn't obvious by my pfp.

I also love mother 3 / earthbound

kingdom hearts

most persona games

outer wilds

celeste

Chrono trigger

Ff7

Ace attorney

Paper Mario

I could go on and on tbh

[–] strudel6242@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ace Attorney's OST is such a classic. I've been making my way through the trilogy on PC, and it was crazy how many of those songs I had heard covers of but never realised was from Ace Attorney.

Crypt of the Necrodancer is a classic. Also, Metal Geat Rising and, more recently, Sonic Frontiers.

[–] SirSauceLordtheThird@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kenshi's soundtrack has such an amazing, surreal sound. Such a vibe, love it.

For me, it's Doom (2016), Battlefield 1, Hotline Miami, and Witcher 3 (even though after a 100 hours in some songs got a bit boring)

[–] lea@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Celeste, especially Farewell.

[–] cyberop5@fedia.io 2 points 1 year ago

Divinity Original Sin 2 is my go-to.

[–] plumbercraic@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

The Maxis Sim City game has a great OST from Chris Tilton. Quite partial to Riven and Hotline Miami too.

Honourable mention for Bastion too. And sometime I like the This War of Mine acoustic guitar stuff.
