Mine is Skyrim.

I always come back to its music. It's uplifting, telling me that everything's gonna be alright. I have its songs in many different playlists.

As a teen, I used to fall asleep listening to Might and Magic VI. You could literally put the disc in a player because the soundtrack was saved as wav files.

I've always enjoyed the music in The World Ends With You

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Ragnarok Online. I love you, SoundTEMP.

Great Gianna Sisters on the C64

Doom Eternal

Subnautica. Because people get addicted to music by their emotions/feelings. And emotions/feelings in this game are WOW.

I really dug the music in CP2077 (and, especially, Phantom Liberty). The use of leitmotifs lifted the score. More so than in a similar game (GTA5), I really enjoyed the radio stations, too.

I also fondly recall the soundtrack of RDR2.

Does all the great music in Fallout4 count?

Sim City 3000

I just played Frostpunk recently! Really fun game

[–] nodimetotie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Such an epic soundtrack. Listened to it countless times. Micheal McCann did an amazing job.

[–] Skkorm@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lichking soundtrack is fire

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

OG StarCraft. Terran theme is an absolute classic.

Also, BFG Division from Doom.

[–] MrDrProfJimmy@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Redout! It's so good at getting that feeling of speed across

[–] bigmclargehuge@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Dark Souls 2. I spent a lot of time standing in Majula just soaking in that music. So comforting yet melancholy, like sitting in front of a quiet fire, knowing in a minute you have to walk through a blizzard.

Not sure about my absolute favorite, but the first games to come to mind when thinking about OSTs is Battlefield 1 and V. The music in those games is amazing.

Johan Söderqvist and Patrik Andrén are great!

I also like the Ace Combat series in general.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I enjoyed the AC: Valhalla Soundtrack much more than the game itself

[–] butterflyattack@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Homeworld. Really effective soundtrack, heightened tension and the feeling of being out in empty space.

[–] doktorseven@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Original Doom. Best Doom.

[–] lobo@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Carmaggedon 1 and TDR, Darksiders 2 and 3, Bastion, Flatout, Plague Tale, Devil May Cry

[–] Silentiea@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I started so many games in Morrowind the music in Sends Neen is imprinted upon me forever.

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Hyper Light Drifter or Fez for modern games. Pokémon Red for OG GameBoy for retro. :D

[–] nevemsenki@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Divinity 2: Dragon Knight Saga. Kirill made the most fantastic OST...

Second place is for Megaman Zero series I think. I still listen to those tracks to this day while running.

[–] DaDaDrood@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago

Xenoblade Chronicles 2, by a wide margin. Skyrim/Morrowind are in the top 5.

[–] LucasWaffyWaf@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Einhander and Rise of the Triad have some of the greatest music to have ever been packed with a video game, hands down.

[–] AVengefulAxolotl@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I was literally thinking about this the other day, and my top 5 (it was fcking hard to choose not gonna lie.)

  • #5 Witcher 3

  • #4 Warhammer 40k Darktide

  • #3 Cyberpunk 2077

  • #2 Bloodborne

  • #1 Warhammer 40k Mechanicus

Honorable mention: Ghostrunner (havent played it, but that OST is fire)

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

starfield has some incredible music, love the bars that play death metal

though i dont think anything could beat skyrim, jeremy soule did such a fantastic job
