I recently started playing GTAV again and sometimes I’ll get in my car and let the radio stations play while I do house stuff. Favorite stations are the 80s one with Kenny Loggins, and West Coast Classics and Rock Radio.

Having finally finished Horizon Forbidden West last night, I've got to choose that. Instant favourite for me. Nostalgic moments when the theme kicked in in one of its altered versions, and the credits just completely floored me. Stuck around for the whole 30+ mins. Wonderful.

Away from that, Mass Effect always needs a mention!

Same, Forbidden West had an absolutely banger soundtrack. Atmospheric and exciting, I put it on sometimes when I'm working to make the tasks feel more adventurous

Amon Tobins Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory soundtrack is a solid ambient/electronic album that I keep returning to.

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

Ace Combat, mainly Ace Combat 5 but all of them are well known for their soundtracks.

More recently WARNO has excellent music so far, even though most of it was licensed by Eugen from third parties so it doesn't really count as a soundtrack specific to the game.

Planet coaster. Released on streaming, it’s just so relaxing.

Classic arcade games:

  • Gyruss
  • Pengo
  • Mappy
  • Frogger

And just for good measure: Lemmings

[–] perviouslyiner@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

If we're going for classics, don't forget this one

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 1 points 1 year ago

I haven’t played Lemmings since like middle school! Time to go find the music for it.

Silent Hill 1,2 & 3 (and not just the OST's, in-game background music as well);

Castlevania: Symphony of the night,

Alundra,

Faxanadu,

practically any Zelda,

Castlevania 1, 2 & 3

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Madden 10 has an unusally stacked soundtrack list. it is honestly absurd the sheer amount of legendary bands in that game

mlb 2k6 also has a great soundtrack, has interpol, pavement, fall of troy, pretty girls make graves, cornelius

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

For my second place Flubber Mountain from Mario RPG is a banger! https://youtu.be/FaAc87l3o3o

[–] Upakae@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

Chained Echoes
Witcher
Doom 2016

Probably GTA SA. Blew my tiny mind to find out Tommy "The Nightmare" Smith, singer of Crystal Ship was voiced by Axl Rose.

You're on The Dust

Then again, VC had some absolute bangers too and I think is the only GTA that had me listening to the pop channel as much as the rock channel.

The Dig, FFVII, Indiana Jones and the fate of atlantis, Morrowind, Quake.

Lots more, especially classic midi tracks but those are my top 5 (subject to change of mood and season).

So many! Where even to start?

  • Assassin's Creed II (really the whole Ezio trilogy slaps)
  • VA11 HALL-A is from a phenomenal cyberpunk bartending game
  • PPPPPP - The VVVVVV Soundtrack is a more chiptune-oriented album from one of my favorite games
  • The most recent God of War: Ragnarök soundtrack is pretty darn good
  • The Monstercat x Rocket League playlists go pretty hard if you're in an EDM mood

Infamous for introducing me to one of my now all time favorite musicians. Amon Tobin.

And a lot earlier Quake that planted the first seeds for my love of NIN.

Recently I completed Crossing Souls. It's a game overloaded with 80s nostalgia. The soundtrack is from two composers. The first has 80s synth tracks while the other providers John Williams / Amblin like scores as the story of a group of young friends and feels like a movie from that time.

[–] bob@lemmy.havocperil.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Double Dragon Neon has an absolutely banging soundtrack. I wish I could get it on Spotify, but it's only on Bandcamp. Mango Tango is amazing.

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

I really lime the Dark Souls 3 soundtrack. Elden Ring's is okay, but there's just something about it that isn't as cool.

Sekiro's is good in an entirely different reason. It's a different style so I wanted to mention it separately.

I also like what they did with Pokemon Black and White I and II. Driftveil City theme lives rent free in my mind.

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

It's a very small soundtrack, but Demon Truck has absolute banger music. Definitely one of my favorites.

[–] dQw4w9WgXcQ@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Dr. Wily's Castle from Mega Man 2.

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

Gotta run gotta run now

All of Mega Man 2's soundtrack was amazing. Such an improvement over the original game.

Did you know? That song had to be made shorter, and was reused in the second level, due to them running out of space on the cartridge.

[–] FrostyPolicy@suppo.fi 2 points 1 year ago

Deus Ex Human Revolution, Mass Effect 1, Diablo 2.

[–] DaSaw@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

Assuming visual novels count as "games", probably one of the best soundtracks I've ever run across is the one for Everlasting Summer. Both Silent Owl (Sergey Eybog) and Between August and December did amazing work on it.

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

My favorite would probably be Super Mario Galaxy 2 OST. That game had really good music, so good I think it got nominated for an award or something. The music is nice and riveting.

[–] lustyargonian@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Not OST but I really vibed with Fallout 3 radio. It was cool to learn about old songs from that game.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Ape Escape goes hard. It's not just the nostalgia.

[–] DragonTamer@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Thomas was alone has a great soundtrack imo.
