What was the best video game music of all time?

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”

Considering how often I still find myself humming or whistling the songs years after I played, gonna have to go with Undertale.

Samurai Shodown series has an amazing soundtrack. A mix of traditional Japnese sound, rock music, chaotic jazz, and ambient sound that barely resembles a song. The ending of 3 is my ultimate ‘get pumped’ song:

Objectively speaking the answer has gotta be something from FFXIV. But which one?? Too many candidates…

The most I’ve ever felt from a video game’s music to pump me up was “Shadowbringers” playing once you start the fight with Hades.

So I’d say that.

half life franchise (seriously every game has perfect and fitting soundtrack) super meat boy (both the original 2010 soundtrack composed by danny b and the 2015 soundtrack made by various artists rock. but the 2010 soundtrack is one of the most iconic soundtracks ever made in my opinion.)

In my opinion no video game soundtrack slaps harder than Hotline Miami 1&2 OST

Hotline Miami 1&2 - Workout Mix

Castlevania, Zelda and Silent Hill (though I’d say all first 3) mentioned so I’m gonna say Alundra. Sure it’s very Zelda/JRPG, but that game had some amazing music that just sticks with you.

Also a little tongue in cheek, but Adventures of Lolo. I’m not sure if there’s just one song throughout the trilogy, but it sure feels like it. Weirdly it doesn’t bother you. It’s like a hypnosis that just makes you play one more level. One more try. Kind of like the Tetris soundtrack, but it never gets old.
