I’ve been looking for some more instrumental music to listen to while working, besides putting FF and Stardew on loop.

    Surprised to not see FTL mentioned yet.

    I’m loving the track Balatro has too. I wish that game had more music like the one song it has.

    Chrono Trigger was fantastic. Look specifically for the instrumentals/orchestral on YouTube. 🤙

      Seconding Bastion! That soundtrack got me though so many grad school papers/ projects. I keep telling myself I’ll get around to actually playing that game, but I can’t shake the feeling that the second I hear “Build that wall” I’ma have some ptsd flashbacks.

    Cuphead is a banger if you like that kinda music.

    Nier Automata as well. Very different, but hauntingly brilliant.

    Also, fallout radio if you’re feeling that real classic sound.

      Same artist who did the music for TUNIC. While its soundtrack isn’t great to listen to alone in my opinion, it is phenomenal in game. To the point where watching the trailer gives me goosebumps.

      Also, I emailed the artist once to ask permission to use the Dustforce soundtrack in a YouTube video I was making. They gave me permission and I sent the video to them when it was posted and they said very nice things about it.

    Super Meat Boy - Ballad of the burning squirrel

    Super Meat Boy - Forest Funk

    Super Meat Boy - Betus Blues

    The composer for Super Meat Boy has done lots of great tracks for Binding of Isaac and Crypt of the Necrodancer too (Danny Baranowsky)

    Enter the Gungeon - Abbey or Die

    Enter the Gungeon - Behold the Boss Eater

    Enter the Gungeon - Boss Battle Beating

    Metal Gear solid theme

    Nine Sols - Collage

    Hades soundtrack (all of it) + if you search for the composer (Darren Korb) then you’ll find loads more great soundtracks he’s done (notably for Bastion).

    Hollow Knight soundtrack (all of it + the piano cover version)

    Street Fighter 6 - Viator (theme for Ryu + there’s a real cool metal cover that is on YouTube by an indie metal band)

    Wipeout HD soundtrack (all of it)

    Super Hexagon (all 3 tracks)

    Hotline Miami soundtrack

    Dead Cells

    Lots of people have rightly mentioned FTL

    Frank Kelpacki has done tons of great soundtracks across the whole Command and Conquer series and it’s worth searching through.

    If you’re into chip tunes, then it is also worth checking out Streets of Rage 2 soundtrack.

    In case you haven’t noticed, I’m really into video game instrumentals. If anyone else is interested, there’s a great podcast called Sound of Gaming by BBC radio 3 that is worth going through the back catalogue of episodes.

      Super Meat Boy’s OST slaps. I decided to check it out after realizing it was from the same guy that made Crypt of the Necrodancers OST.

      I then spent hours trying to figure out where I’ve heard “Hot Damned” before. It was Siivagunner.

    Donkey Kong Country, especially 2. From the original, I recommend Aquatic Ambience. But for DKC2, honestly let the OST play. There’s so many greats.

    Guild wars 2 has so much variety i would not know where to start. Would just search it on youtube and find the fitting mood i guess.
