All you young’uns and your fancy moderns music.
Nothing beats Gone Jackals songs in Full Throttle.
- Shovel Knight
- Chrono Trigger
- Unreal Tournament 99
- Quake II
right now i’ll have to go with “The Neverhood Chronicles”, it’s stuck in my head since i started playing it again last week on a PS1 Emu.
Unreal Tournament 2004 is my favorite OST by number of tracks that I love. It has several absolute banger tracks, like Morpheus3, Hyperblast-Redux, Convoy, Atlantis and Level11. I often keep a number of those tracks on my playlists.
Although I don’t like the game itself much (I suck at it), Cloudbuilt also has some awesome tracks, my personal favorite is Aurora. The guitar chords at the apex is just heavenly.
Rebel Galaxy has some very nice stuff to feel like a 'merican space cowboy, it’s mostly licensed music as far as i can tell.
Assault Android Cactus usually gets your blood pumping hard, which is great because the game is a pretty fun twin-stick arena. The tracks Assault and Licorice are just 👨🍳😙👌
… Come to think of it, looking at my list, I’m a real sucker for sci-fi OSTs, huh. I do want to make honorable mentions to Mass Effect (mostly 2), Skyrim and Smash Bros. Ultimate
SimCity 4 ❤️
Arcanum of Steamworks and Magick Obscura.
Deus Ex and System Shock 2
Bit dated, but at the time Descent II’s Redbook sountrack was pretty good for ‘96.
Metal Gear Rising Revengence Need for Speed Most Wanted Hi-Fi Rush
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
Homeworld and Hotline Miami are my two favorites!
Hotline Miami is an all timer for sure
Halo Reach, hands down. Phenomenal, all the feels
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!
Let’s try and keep it below

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
