What was the best video game music of all time?
For my money it’s a tie between Eurydice’s song from Hades, any of the tracks from VVVVVV and Still Alive. But what do you think?
sturmblast, Castlevania games have the best music hands down in my opinion
SuperApples, 
The fact that I read your comment and three songs started playing simultaneously in my head shows you might be on to something.
CreativeShotgun, Chrono Cross ftw
dditty, Chrono Trigger for me but also a great choice!
Squiddy, It’s nice to see so many different awnsers, gaming has just so many good soundtracks.
Personally, I love the soundtrack of the original Xenoblade Chronicles. “Engage the Enemy” really hits during the cutscene it plays.
Another recomendation is Xenoblade Chronicles 3’s “Words that never reached you”
Pulptastic, Mario 2.
victron, 
Final Fantasy VI
ImpossibleRubiksCube, Absolutely ANYTHING Mick Gordon.
hugoeustaquio, Mortal kombaaaaaaat
Pa pa pa tum tum tum pa pa pa
devious, Ctrl+F Hotline Miami… No one’s mentioned this banging track yet?
rezz, Easily this. It’s almost functionally a rhythm game with the way the soundtrack effectively pulse drags you through levels, and then smash cuts to a droning track for a “comedown” after the high of each completion.
The Last of Us is the next best for me.
And then I know it’s cheating, but the Theophany Time’s End II cover of Majora’s Mask is a masterpiece. If this was in-game, it’d be my number one.
PP_BOY_, 
The only OST better than Hotline Miami is Hotline Miami 2. Seriously, that Carpenter Brut track is unreal
Verpenndroid, 
Hands down, DOOM Eternal
MintyAnt, Eternal had some great beats. Hell on earth is a great track. I love the demonic chant for the arctic hell base too.
dmrzl, (edited ) Hotline Miami
Splinter cell - chaos theory
Ori and the blind forest
drewofdoom, Hotline Miami +1
DirigibleProtein, I can’t pick just one, but these are among my favourites:
- Prince of Persia 3D
- Grim Fandango
- Descent
- Skyrim
- Far Cry 2
MintyAnt, My fav descent soundtrack youtu.be/AWtWrRvsszY
son_named_bort, The song from the first level of Sonic Adventure 2 (the one about escaping the city). It catchy to listen to while all of the action of Sonic unfolds.
the_dopamine_fiend, 
Donkey Kong Country and Diddy’s Kong Quest set some bars when they dropped.
BackOnMyBS, 
I bought the DK Country album when it came out
son_named_bort, DKC3 also had a killer soundtrack.
opensourcedeeznuts, Ori And The Blind Forest is definitely up there
DNAmaster10, Surprised I’ve not seen more people mention this. Will of the wisps music was bomb too. Gareth Coker is an incredible composer.
babatazyah, Haven’t seen it mentioned, but, Spiritfarer
