I recently started playing GTAV again and sometimes I’ll get in my car and let the radio stations play while I do house stuff. Favorite stations are the 80s one with Kenny Loggins, and West Coast Classics and Rock Radio.
Hollow Knight
Ape Escape goes hard. It’s not just the nostalgia.
Honestly love the Doom soundtrack.
I’m honestly a bigger fan of the classic DOOM I/II (199X) soundtracks. Despite being obvious parodies of existing rock/metal songs, they had a certain appeal. Especially when someone makes a very good cover.
I get why people like 2016’s DOOM’s more “metal” approach, but for me nothing beats an adrenaline-rush song when ripping and tearing those damned demons.
Rip and tear until it is DONE.
Mick Gordon is amazing! I tweeted to him one time and he hearted my tweet. My friends and I played this soundtrack a ridiculous amount. Great pick.
Any FromSoftware game soundtrack. Personally like Orphan of Kos.
The Bloodborne soundtrack is phenomenal but my absolute favorite track is the Abyss Watchers theme. It just makes me feel some typpa way.

Castelvania: Symphony of the Night
- Stellaris.
- Rimworld.
- Dwarf Fortress (Steam version).
- Steamworld Dig 2.
- The Talos Principle.
- The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall.
- The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind.
Final Fantasy VII and Chrono Cross are my absolute all time favorites. Ori and the Blind Forest is a more recent soundtrack that blew me away. The soundtrack for the Motorhead racing game is also a classic for me.
I can’t believe no one has said Halo/Halo 2
Final Fantasy 7 has been the long-standing winner here, but Persona 5 has recently started to gain an edge.
I also recently started listening to some of the Trails soundtracks and they are all fire.
I’m very quickly about to stop having “a favorite” and start having a collection of faves. Which is a pretty great place to be.
Recently I completed Crossing Souls. It’s a game overloaded with 80s nostalgia. The soundtrack is from two composers. The first has 80s synth tracks while the other providers John Williams / Amblin like scores as the story of a group of young friends and feels like a movie from that time.
I love Flatout soundtrack - wreck cars and listen to Symphony of destruction and other songs.

Madden 10 has an unusally stacked soundtrack list. it is honestly absurd the sheer amount of legendary bands in that game
mlb 2k6 also has a great soundtrack, has interpol, pavement, fall of troy, pretty girls make graves, cornelius
Double Dragon Neon has an absolutely banging soundtrack. I wish I could get it on Spotify, but it’s only on Bandcamp. Mango Tango is amazing.
The 7th Guest and The 11th Hour remain top-tier for me. The music was half the experience, turn it up and just enjoy that creepy vibe while solving puzzles. And they’re all on The Fat Man’s Bandcamp now!
Also, there’s an industrial rock cover album on vinyl currently looking for funding on Kickstarter. I’m super excited!
My dad and I used to play 7th Guest together. What a classic! It’s been a long time since I played that one. Had it on CD-ROM. Now I need to go find the soundtrack.
The full soundtracks to both games are on the Fat Man’s Bandcamp, which I linked up above. Also, the “greatest hits” collection album 7/11 is on Spotify. It’s surprisingly easy to listen to these days!
RimWorld has enough music to not feel repetitive over so many hours!
(and the youtube comments are full of stories about the colonies that people are reminded of by hearing the music again)
