Give me your favourite OSTs, individual tracks, whatever.
I have lots of favourites but I feel like most will be suggested by others so I’ll go for one that isn’t as popular: Monaco: What’s Yours Is Mine. The whole soundtrack is amazing start to finish. Some of the best piano tunes to ever be in a video game, and a super under-appreciated game. It should’ve been way bigger than it was. Unfortunately it’s being tainted by its less-than-stellar sequel which came out recently. Don’t play the sequel, but definitely play the original. It’s fun solo but it really shines co-op with a friend (or three). It supports up to four players and I’d definitely recommend co-op if you have the means. I used to play it on 360 with a friend of mine and it’s some of my most fond gaming memories. It’s not a difficult game to figure out but it’s not an easy game to get good at. But all that is to say, play the game, or if you can’t, absolutely listen to the soundtrack. It’s awesome.
Seconding this for the co-op play. It just captures the feeling of a heist so perfectly in a bite-sized package. In a matter of seconds you’ll go from everyone calm and knowing their role, to full panic mode as soon as someone makes a mistake, to a wary sense of relief as you manage to barely get to safety but still have to complete your mission.
I didn’t know about the sequel. Now I’m tempted to try it…

All the Astro Bot games have phenomenal soundtracks, Kenneth CM Young (of MediaMolecule) is brilliant and knows how to write really catchy earworms. Really got stuck listening to Trapped in Time and Papa Tree.
Some which come to mind are:
- Bastion
- Lost Eden
- Duke Nukem 3D
- Flatout 2
- System Shock
- Arcanum …
But there are probably a lot more which I have played and are great.
Citizen Sleeper
Megaman 2 still reigns supreme IMO. The most consistent soundtrack for any video game ever. Bangers end-to-end.
Sexy Parodius is also fantastic. It’s a demented mix of jacked up, synthesized classical and folk tunes. This is probably my favorite track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlRO9Q0dbQA&list=PLAdIErLpAnQCc5Mk19_MAyeV5bMGsFRpG&index=24 The synth-sax is incredible!
World of Warcraft
Cyberpunk has ton of awesome tracks
Pon Pon Shit
I really like the Rome Total War Soundtrack by Jeff van Dyck
SUPER MARIO GALAXY. IT HAS SUCH A LEGENDARY SOUNDTRACK. If you wanna just try it out, first listen to “Gusty Garden Galaxy” Literally one of the most beautiful game soundtracks.
final fantasy, anything thats NOT 7 simply because its played to death.
Ape Out really only has the one song… but it is perfectly utilized to puncuate the gameplay experience.
The answer is always Chrono Trigger.
30 years later, and still nothing has topped it. No game even comes close.
- Bravely Default kicks with both special and battle themes (go give vagrant of love a try)
-Gran Turismo 4 suuper nice menu themes i especially like hypnosis, the motorious zone, don’t kick yourself and be at home
I think nothing top the JRPGs. My current favs would be Nier: Replicant & Nier: Automata. There’s also this rather obscure game I love called Ar Tonelico in which the music is part of the story; of course that wouldn’t do if the music suck.
Other than that, I love the entire soundtracks for both Cult of the Lamb as well as Stray.
