What was the best video game music of all time?

martinbasic, 10 months ago

I love soundtracks from Splatoon, all series. Especially Chip Damage/Blitz it! is my favourite.

Sonic Mania - Hydrocity Zone Act 2

MW2: Mercenaries was pretty awesome.

Other ones that come to mind are Crazy Taxi and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater.

Firelink Shrine from Dark Souls, it’s so peaceful and melancholic

From games all have amazing soundtracks. I just played through everything from demon souls to Elden ring including sekiro and bloodborne and realised they all have amazing, but very different, soundtracks. Most bosses have completely unique soundtracks it’s amazing the attention to detail and you miss it if you aren’t specifically listening for it .

I’m a big fan of the Offworld Trading Company OST.

I still listen to the NSFU2 soundtrack today when I feel the need for a bit of hard hitting sound, with some variety.

Bro, you put a Super Giant game and don’t mention “Build that Wall” from Bastion, tsk tsk.

I’m going to go for a bit of a deeper cut and say Mad Rat Dead. They took a genre which relies so heavily on the strength of its music (rhythm platformer), and produced a soundtrack where literally every song is a banger, and produced some great emotional moments as well–the transition from Cottage House to Kind of Hope and Neuchatel still makes me choke up just thinking about it.

Space Harrier or Outrun, for sure.

Special award for Ghost n Goblins or Commando and some others like Dragon’s Lair.

Wingspan. I have the Vinyl OST.

Monument Valley is quite nice too.

Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim soundtracks. Diablo 2. Wow classics soundtrack…hell many expansions in wow have amazing music. Halo 1, 2, 3s soundtrack.

Morrowind has my favorite overall soundtrack, but Halo 3’s One Final Effort is the best video game music ever written. Cool piano rendition of One Final Effort and Halo’s main theme

For me definitively the soundtrack of Boneworks (which is also the best VR game I know). Especially its main theme (“Bone Theme”) and “Who am I”

Some more awesome OSTs in no particular order: Minecraft, Banjo-Kazooie / Banjo Tooie, Witcher 3, Risk of Rain 2

DemiParagon, 10 months ago

Risk of Rain 2 is phenomenal.

Warframe has great music all over the place.

Tony Hawks Underground and Underground 2 soundtracks contain songs I listen to today.

Need For Speed: Most Wanted 2007 and Burnout 3: Takedown basically defined my music interests from an early age.

I really enjoyed Cyberpunk 2077s but that was likely primarily because of the inclusion of Run The Jewels.

RogueAozame, 10 months ago

Btw the first most wanted was released in 2005 not 2007. But I definitely agree with you it’s what got me into rock music.

DemiParagon, 10 months ago

Wrong year, my bad, but yeah. Definitely was big for my tastes

akito, 10 months ago

Nice to see Risk of Rain mentioned. Agreed

TheOakTree, 10 months ago

Not exactly answering the question, but hearing every generational rendition of Proof of a Hero throughout the Monster Hunter games still gives me the feels

Has anyone said Minecraft? I haven’t played games myself for years (well before Minecraft) but live in a house where it was played for hours at a time. Soundtrack never became annoying & whenever I hear it it instantly takes me back in time.
