Kingsfield 2 and 4 take top spot for me, calm and cool tracks I can listen to over and over. As good as the post mike wazowski fromsoft music is after a while the loud orchestral stuff kinda blends into each other and becomes quite grating over time. Its good ingame in the setting or boss fight but i dont like listening to it independently.

Older fromsoft music is peak and a lot of their older games are in my top 10 game music.

Kingsfield 4: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7YuVu11Ud-JlvI3O7kqTS-gWNxgf5F0l

Armored core 1: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL48C29B22778C558A

Then there's the Nier replicant ost which dominates everything ever: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTSayM5g0IpZB3XGGIHAbvZgJtqL6WN76

Dmc 1,3,4,5 and metal gear rising all good.

Silent hill and signalis if I'm in the mood.

Trails from Zero, Trails to Azure and Trails of Cold Steel I and II are all pretty much flawless.

Ys I & II are also great, there's a reason why the series is over 35 years old and those are the best remembered OSTs, mostly by the GOAT Yuzo Koshiro.

[-] ThisMachinePostsHog@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

Gone Home, Cassette Beasts, Breath of the Wild, and Red Dead Redemption are my favorites.

[-] romaselli@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 4 months ago

Xenoblade Chronicles X hands down

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Couple I like off the top of my head from both console and pc that I listen to: Castlevania SOTN, Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy VIII, Everquest (midis are on point), Tomb Raider, Final Fantasy XI, Metal Gear (entire franchise has good music), Sonic (again whole franchise, banger music), anything by Jeremy Soule (Neverwinter Nights, Morrowind, Oblivion) (so soothing and calming to listen to even if his music kind of blends together).

[-] Gorb@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

Sometimes the morrowind theme just starts playing in my head when I walk around.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

Excellent soundtrack to just hiking through the wilderness.

[-] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Morrowind my favorite soundtrack to actually get work done. There was an article about how Jeremy Soule designed it to be good, but not overpowering because of its repetition.

The size of the game influenced my style because I knew the music would be heard over and over and over again. And so it was a very cautious decision. The minimalism that people describe in Morrowind and Oblivion was very intentional, and for me it was one of these things where I tried to paint in soft tones so the ear wouldn’t get worn out playing the game for 100 hours.

Black Moon Chronicles
Dune 1
Dune 2000
Emperor Battle for Dune (see the pattern, nearly all Dune movies and games had consistently great soundtracks... except the Verhoeven movies)
Warhammer 40000: Mechanicus
Homeworld
Ascendancy (old game with ultra space-factor atmospheric music)
Stellaris (bland lately but vanilla and few first expansions have great classical sci-fi themes)
Endless Space 2 (great trinity of space game music with the two above)
Master of Orion 1
Mass Effect (mainly 1)
Heroes of Might & Magic 3 and 5
Warcraft 2
World of Warcraft, not all but the sheer lenght of soundtrack make for choice of few hours of great music
Morrowind
Star Wars KotOR
Warhammer: Dark Omen
Warhammer 40000: Chaos Gate (the old one)
Civilization 4-6 especially title themes for all vanilla and expansions

Castlevania SOTN, Chrono Trigger, both Niers, any Supergiant game, Ocarina of Time and I really like Dishonored 1 & 2 OST.

[-] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 4 months ago

Metal Gear Solid 1 comes to mind immediately, so, probably that

Zelda Ocarina of Time songs are permanently stamped in my brain still 25 after 25 years
