secret tip: Fez
Came here to say this! Also Bastion, kind of the same generation of indie games, I feel.
Minecraft
Nier Automata
Subnautica
- FTL Multiverse (Kix et. al.)
- Touhou
- Supergiant Games
- Blue Archive
- Minecraft
No game will ever have a better soundtrack than Halo 3
Let’s try and keep it below
1011 entries:- Disco Elysium
- Outer Wilds
- Hollow Knight
- Shadow of the Colossus + Ico
- Pyre (+all other Supergiant games)
- Valkyrie Profile
- Banner Saga trilogy
- Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
- Chrono Trigger + Cross

Honestly nowadays so many games have great soundtracks, it is a joy to behold! Makes it harder to chose favorites though…
Really good list. I wanna add stardew valley and Nier automata aswell.
Als I’m gonna check out valkyrie profile tomorrow, I’ve never heard of that game.
Hollow Knight is pure art
Bastion, Beyond Good & Evil, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, Mirror’s Edge.
and Hades, although I refuse to call it a “patient gamer” game
BGE soundtrack is so good.
Propaganda
Oh man the Mirrors Edge soundtrack is so good
Hades, although I refuse to call it a “patient gamer” game
Why? It’s 6 years old at this point so I think it qualifies.
shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up
All the hades osts are so good. They just don’t miss.
Hard pick because I listen to a game or series for a while, then another. Just today I went and listened to a lot of Sonic tracks, which I do once every few months. I guess Atlus games (SMT, Persona, EO), Metal Gear Rising, Ace Attorney, TWEWY are in the lead off the top of my head, but after a month I might give a different answer. My relaxing music playlist is mostly the official classical arrangements of Etrian Odyssey 1+2, so let’s go with that.
- Halo Combat Evolved
- Mirror’s Edge
- Sim City 3000
- The Sims
- The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time
- Fez
- Flatout 2
- Jet Set Radio
- Sword and Sorcery LP
OOT has such incredibly nostalgic music for me.
We’re on the same page as far as Mirrors EdgeI The Sims and SC3 goes, so I’ll trust your taste and listen to the other ones aswell. I’d want to add Portal 2 and Team Fortress 2 aswell.
All of Persona OSTs, if i had to pick one it would be 5, but all of them have songs on my playlist that i hear to this day.
I also love Devil May Cry OSTs, i heard bury the light on repeat for months
Persona 5 - Beneath the Mask. Still listening to this on a rainy days !
Last month i was on the bus back home and as the rain started to fall that music started to play, literal perfect timing
Persona 3 OST for me
Ones I haven’t seen in this thread yet:
Cuphead, Cave Story, Celeste, Dredge, Furi, Katamari Damacy (and others in the series), Peggle, Super Mario Galaxy
Celeste is top tier ❤️
FTL
Deus Ex and System Shock 2
All you young’uns and your fancy moderns music.
Nothing beats Gone Jackals songs in Full Throttle.
Unreal Tournament 2004 is my favorite OST by number of tracks that I love. It has several absolute banger tracks, like Morpheus3, Hyperblast-Redux, Convoy, Atlantis and Level11. I often keep a number of those tracks on my playlists.
Although I don’t like the game itself much (I suck at it), Cloudbuilt also has some awesome tracks, my personal favorite is Aurora. The guitar chords at the apex is just heavenly.
Rebel Galaxy has some very nice stuff to feel like a 'merican space cowboy, it’s mostly licensed music as far as i can tell.
Assault Android Cactus usually gets your blood pumping hard, which is great because the game is a pretty fun twin-stick arena. The tracks Assault and Licorice are just 👨🍳😙👌
… Come to think of it, looking at my list, I’m a real sucker for sci-fi OSTs, huh. I do want to make honorable mentions to Mass Effect (mostly 2), Skyrim and Smash Bros. Ultimate
I listen to Stellaris OST a lot these days. Turns out that good music to plan galactic domination is also good music to design and build software.
Don’t really play the game much anymore though. That was one of my main pandemic games.
