Chozo, in Games with absolute banger OSTs (and perhaps good stories / gameplay)

Somehow, nobody's mentioned Cyberpunk 2077 yet. Every track in this game goes so incredibly hard. The in-game radio stations are all full of absolute bangers, and even the ambient world music is fantastic and sets the mood for every scene. It's one of the few games whose soundtracks I listen to on its own.

I suspect patient gamers have held off on this one given its relatively high system requirements, need for patches to improve performance, and super recent expansion. I'm sure you're right, but speaking for myself, it's not on my to-play list for at least another year. (Only mentioning it since you seem surprised)

Roll the bones, I’m CHIPPIN IN! Commit that code, I’m CHIPPIN IN!

PrivateNoob,

Damn yeah you got me there. I forgot about Cyperbunk. Ponpon SHIT will never escape from my mind. XD

Hollow Knight (Great metroidvania, even better soundtrack), Journey (It’s just good. I struggle to describe it any other way), Project: Wingman (Neat game about blowing things up in planes. Has a fun, dramatic soundtrack.), Cassette Beasts (An open world monster catching rpg like Pokémon. The soundtrack is good, although some people aren’t fans of the lyrics.), Cloudpunk (A cyberpunk open-world exploration game. Really great ost to match the theme. Also, the game has exceptional story, especially the City of Ghosts expansion.)

Edit: Add explanations

PrivateNoob,

Heard some great things about most of these games, especially around Cassette Beats and Hollow Knights. Is Cassette Beasts perfect for someone who haven’t ever played Pokemon before?

Sunset Overdrive is great if you like punk music. Saint’s Row, all of them.

PrivateNoob,

I’m open to a lot of genres, thank you for the showing SO to me!

Know_not_Scotty_does,

Happy to share. I didn’t grow up playIng Jet Set Radio but that is the game Sunset Overdrive gets compared to most often.

PrivateNoob,

Wait isn’t this the game which just got a sequel after like 10+ years of the last release?

Velonie,

Yes! NEO TWEWY is the sequel and it was 14 years after the original release. The original on the DS is my favourite game of all time

Undertale in case you haven't played it yet... you've played it, right?
zero escape. going in blind is a must. at least 999 had really banger music and nice puzzles and story. 999 also had its story made for the 3DS, so it's best if you play it on a DS emulator. it's also similar to danganronpa at least stylistically, and makoto has a zero escape logo on his hoodie
bloons td maybe. the music might not be that good but they're still bangers

PrivateNoob,

Actually no, I haven’t played Undertale yet. (War crime sounds incoming) A lot of players are recommending Zero Escape, so It’s not surprising to see this in your comment. Did you like it?

Aatube,
@Aatube@kbin.social avatar

Yes.

You might want the fast text mod though. You'll also need to replay it multiple times to unlock endings, so you probably also want to make some savestates before every door. Doors aren't the only things you need though...

Loop Hero

I don’t see this mentioned enough, but persona 5 (specifically recommend persona 5 Royal) has a really great OST. As you play the game you unlock better versions of the same tracks, including vocals. It’s actually really jazzy, and quite catchy! The wife and i will jam to the vocal tracks on road trips.

The game is also very good, with an interesting story! It’s kinda weird in a fun way! It’s like… a pokemon-esque turn based jrpg with some like real world maintenance aspects (relationships, work a job, go to school), with great music

PrivateNoob,

Yeah I really loved Persona 5. It really stands out as an unique an catchy game.

The Sims 2.

PrivateNoob,

The nostalgia, oh man. Sims 2 and 3 was something different. Sad to see that Sims 4 became a lackluster game.

LunarLoony,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

There are lots of mods you can get to improve TS4, but you’re right, it’s missing something fundamental. Even things like genetics are so dumbed-down as to be almost pointless

PrivateNoob,

I’m mostly missing the open world aspect with live transportation, which should be a given.

DaveedMee,
@DaveedMee@beehaw.org avatar

Also the Sims 1 Build and Buy themes. Build mode 3 is a absolute bop!

flontlocs,

I guess the emergent chaos can stand in for the story?

LunarLoony,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

While it’s mostly about the stories you create yourself, there is actually a storyline you can play through! Each of the three default neighbourhoods has a specific order of events. You kinda need a walkthrough to know where to start and when to switch families, but it’s all there for the playing. I didn’t even realise that until last year, and I’ve been playing TS2 since launch
