Metal Gear Rising Revengence Need for Speed Most Wanted Hi-Fi Rush
Halo Reach, hands down. Phenomenal, all the feels
Homeworld and Hotline Miami are my two favorites!
Hotline Miami is an all timer for sure
Ones I haven't seen in this thread yet:
Cuphead, Cave Story, Celeste, Dredge, Furi, Katamari Damacy (and others in the series), Peggle, Super Mario Galaxy
Nier Automata. The entire discograpy
Replicant/Gestalt OST is also great.
Morrowind and project wingman are peak. FFXIV is fantastic with a persistent leitmotif across each entire expansion. The final endwalker boss basically wrapped up YEARS worth of story and that fight music was a medly featuring every expansion's leitmotif and holy shit I can't get over how incredible it was. Also the pandaemonium raid music. And Alexander. Seriously you can rabbit hole for HOURS on FFXIV music.
Project wingman and the Ace combat series is great!
Minecraft (incl. Wynncraft)
Minecraft soundtrack never gets old, even 3000 hours later I can still listen to it.
Let's try and keep it below ~~10~~ 11 entries:
Honestly nowadays so many games have great soundtracks, it is a joy to behold! Makes it harder to chose favorites though...
Really good list. I wanna add stardew valley and Nier automata aswell.
Als I'm gonna check out valkyrie profile tomorrow, I've never heard of that game.
Hollow Knight is pure art
How has nobody mentioned Rimworld? Such an incredible soundtrack!
Been playing again recently after noticing there was a new DLC I didn't have. I like the new tracks added by Anomaly.
Aquaria: Original Soundtrack
by Alec Holowka
Such an underrated game. RIP Alec.
Love the Towerfall OST myself, it was such a shock to hear about him.
Is 2016 old enough now?
The DOOM 2016 soundtrack fucking rips.
Original DOOM!

This immediately brought me back to the YTMND era. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVBalxt3NEU
My DUUUDE hahahaha
Anything handled by Nobou Uematsu.
My top four haven't changed in a while:
I love EDM, so any game that uses it or is inspired by it holds a special place in my heart, like Streets of Rage, Rez, Dance Dance Revolution, or the Trails of Cold Steel games (especially the second one).
OOT has such incredibly nostalgic music for me.
Bastion, Beyond Good & Evil, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, Mirror's Edge.
and Hades, although I refuse to call it a "patient gamer" game
Pokemon USUM. If there was a looped version of the tracks, I‘d probably listen to it every day lol, it just boosts my mood. Sadly, the soundtrack (that I have) has them at 1-2 minutes.
All of Persona OSTs, if i had to pick one it would be 5, but all of them have songs on my playlist that i hear to this day.
I also love Devil May Cry OSTs, i heard bury the light on repeat for months
Persona 3 OST for me
Persona 5 - Beneath the Mask. Still listening to this on a rainy days !
Golden Sun GBA soundtrack. Also there are some really nice remixes of the fan community. The game is from 2001 but can be played with Nintendo Switch online subscription. As well as the second game (they are basically one game).
I'll skip the obvious ones with multiple artists like Furi, Katana Zero, Hotline Miami, Crypt of the Necrodancer...
Remember Me (2013) composed by Olivier Derivière
Warhammer 40k: Mechanicus (2018) composed by Guillaume David
Bastion (2011) composed by Darren Korb (anything by Darren Korb)
Styx: Master of Shadows (2014) composed by H-Pi
140 (2013) composed by Jakob Schmid
Bastion (2011) composed by Darren Korb (anything by Darren Korb)
The Transistor soundtrack for me is a masterpiece, still come back to it once in a while.
Those are also among my favorites. Also the Title Theme to Anno 1404: When Cultures Meet and the Beyond Good and Evil Soundtrack.
Also a great theme is used all over Tilo Alpermann's - The Night Of The Rabbit OST
Bungie-era Halo has the best OST in the industry hands down, though recently Lunacid let me hear some certified bangers; someone here mentioned B:G&E, and I second that opinion although I wouldn't have thought of it myself.
Halo Reach was such an excellent send off. What a powerful soundtrack.
Halo Reach is my best honestly
The Halo 3: ODST OST is so good, man.
The Mombasa Streets music made me stop in my tracks a couple times.
Hollow Knight, though I don't really listen to it outside the game.
Cyberpunk has some great songs on the radio.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
