Though Castlevania: Lords of Shadow was a divisive game, its art direction and soundtrack are incredible. Oscar Araujo’s score combined with some great vistas and setpieces elevates the mediocre gameplay to actually make this game one of my favorites.
I also loved the songs from Death Stranding. Low Roar’s tracks fit the atmosphere of the game perfectly, and the few tracks from other artists really stand out in a nice contrast to Low Roar’s calmer feeling.
Nier automata
Yes! NieR Automata is one of my favourite OSTs ever
I second this, I keep coming back to the OST. It’s so damn good.
Maple story!
Commando for C64
Katana Zero and Celeste both had great soundtracks. Persona 5’s soundtrack is amazing.
Mega Man 2. Can’t believe I scrolled the whole comments and did not see Mega Man 2.
Agreed, we’re showing age though.
Homeworld
Chrono Trigger, of course. Some legendary tracks in there that transcend their limitations. The Deadbolt OST, Katana ZERO’s OST. Nier Automata, Street Fighter V.
Oblivion and Skyrim as well. Really there are too many excellent game soundtracks to possibly list in a comment
Don’t leave out Chrono Cross. Burning Orphanage still haunts me.
Came here to say Skyrim. God that soundtrack along with the gorgeous visuals from the game was breathtaking.
Portal 2. It’s music told me more about aperture than I could discover with my eyes.
Valheim!
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
Lots of good answers in this thread. Thank you for wording this in a way that allows me to post more than one answer, lol. I’ll name a few I didn’t see reading through here:
- Talos Principle
- System Shock remake
- Metroid Prime
- FF VI pixel remaster (all the pixel master OSTs are great, but VI got the most love)
- Battleblock Theater (goat main menu track)
- Hades (amazing combat music)
- Hollow Knight (most atmospheric)
- Undertale + Deltarune (great range, captures a lot of emotions throughout the story)
Destiny and Destiny 2 Hexic
Return of the Obra Dinn
