Still alive - Portal

the entire OST for Nier: Automata is amazing. i still need to play through Nier: Replicant and i think im looking forward to the music more than the game itself.

Surprised Darren Korb hasn't had a mention yet.

Bastion and Hades have phenomenal OSTs.

I think the Katamari Damacy soundtrack is the one I return to the most. It's distilled joy.

Zelda music, specifically from BOTW and TOTK. But all the Zelda games have great music.

honestly, the entirety of the final fantasy tactics soundtrack is my jam. especially when you recall specific moments when a track was played during the game. they have so much punch and they're always so epic. the boss tracks rule!

For me it's Doom 2016, it's just insane! Mick Gordon is a genius.

I can't pick one so here's some of my favorites:
Ludwig, the Holy Blade
Devils Never Cry
Tenebre Rosso Sangue
The Hot Wind Blowing
And of course, Bury The Light

The Hotline Miami 1 and 2 soundtracks are killer.

Megaman without a doubt. Regular and X.

It's probably cliche, but when it comes to pure catchiness and memorability, my go-to is Undertale.

Pretty much anything from the first Ratchet and Clank game - Metropolis, Gemlik Base and Gaspar are some of my favourites

I find Inon Zur’s tracks on fallout to be superb and can’t wait to see how the Starfield OST ends up, also Mick Gordon’s Doom OST is absolute perfection.

Licensed tracks in the Wipeout series are excellent, including the originals from Cold Storage. Such good memories playing the best AG racer.

Corridors of Time - Chrono Trigger

I can listen to the soundtrack from The Messenger. RainbowDragonEyes just absolutely knocked that one out of the park.

It's hard to pick a favorite but I find myself listening to the Hollow Knight soundtrack a lot while writing. It's fantastic!

Shout out to the Hades soundtrack though, I play that while playing D&D and my whole group loves it

The music from Myst is probably my favorite

Fallout 4 theme music just is great. The game not so much but that menu with that music is awesome.

Risk of Rain2. Especially the soundtrack for the Survivors of the Void dlc.

The whole album is amazing, but A Placid Island of Ignorance and Once in a Lullaby are epic. The way the ending and the beginning of the album use Prelude to D-Flat Major is so satisfying.

Chris Christodoulou is an amazing musician.

Loved the music in hollow knight

I listen to my vinyl of the Skyrim soundtrack on a very regular basis.
Runner up would be Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch

For me, it's Final Fantasy 8, killer7, and Medieval: Total War.

The Persona 5 and Hollow Knight soundtracks are excellent to me, followed closely by Celeste. Hollow Knight's music just sets the mood perfectly for the game.

Final Fantasy 6. Future FF games had bigger singles, but none have been as iconic from start to finish as FF6.

Both Katana Zero and Bomberman64 have absolutely incredible soundtracks. Very few game tracks stick with me, but both of those games have several incredible entries

I love the Paradise Killer soundtrack

The Ultratron OST by Allicorn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBGa_w7TiKU&list=PLrNIBo_FmPQL3HB198VLSiO5FhztGXQYy

Probably Crypt Of The Necrodancer, I don't have a favourite track though.

TMNT Turtles in Time. So overlooked. It is 100% unapologetic video game music, and it kicks holy amounts of ass.

Minecraft. If I had to pick a song specifically, I'm gonna say Subwoofer Lullaby. It just really captures the calm, familiar feeling of "living" in Minecraft. Farming, renovating, adventuring, spelunking, etc. Whenever I'm working on something, ranging from just building the first rendition of a house in a new world to developing an automatic redstone-powered bamboo farm to supply a mass smelting furnace at the bottom of the world that uses water elevators for access, the soundtrack is unmatched.

It also just helps that it's an iconic game for people my age and I've spent years on and off playing it since alpha.

The masterpiece, Tenchu: stealth assassins

Battlefield OST

My fav, mostly because of nostalgia, has to be the final fantasy 9 soundtrack.

Chrono Trigger's soundtrack is a personal favorite.

Descent II OST

The Outer Wilds soundtrack is something I go back to regularly. Even considered buying the Vinyl...and I have no way of playing it.

Frontier: Elite 2 main theme by David Lowe, Amiga version. It may just be my memories from the game, but that track never fails to pick me up.

Crusader: No Remorse, the entire OST. Industrial meets 90s midi techno.

Ascendancy, OST by Nenad Vugrinec. Awesome ambient sounds.

and the Mass Effect OST.

Riding the Solar Wind - Stellaris.

Ace Combat 7 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kVdCaczLE8
Project Wingman - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgcap-5IBsY
Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous - Almost all of their mythic path themes and then some. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCpTyQU3Vt4&list=PL5LsN8A6ix5qmFLYtrjWxP7zZOoffuuDr&index=8

And of course people here mentioned a few good ones like Undertale, Stellaris and stuff like that.

The OST from Persona 5, easily my most listened to soundtrack.

World of Warcraft, Undertale, Stardew Valley, Sonic Mania, Halo, Hollow Knight

Nintendo is cheating

The Furi OST is banger after banger. It's a who's who of syntheave artists. It's my go-to listen when I'm caffeinated and need to be productive.
