Shin Megami Tensei IV - Tokyo
Everything else here 100% deserves the credit but I didn’t see anyone mention Divinity: Original Sin 2, which is also amazing.
Tons of little songs I found myself idly humming for days/weeks after playing and a thoroughly epic main theme.
The finale of the game where time slows down and the music swells is one of my favorite gaming moments.
I had to scroll wayyyyy too far to find it. I absolutely love the soundtrack! And Baldur’s Gate 3’s music is also great so far. Not surprising as it’s from the same artist(s) XD
Portal 2. It’s music told me more about aperture than I could discover with my eyes.
The legend of Zelda always had the most iconic themes (personal favorite is Dragonroost island from Wind waker, but they really all have some amazing music).
I also listen to the Chrono Trigger and Octopath traveler OSTs on my free time.
TotK is absolutely insane tho, it’s better than many Hollywood productions
C418 - Sweden
Some of my favorites include
Minecraft (nostalgia and calming slow paced)
Subnautica 1 and below zero (super calming to listen too and also fit the vibe really well)
No man’s sky (music fits the atmosphere of the game really well)
Payday 2 (very good kinda electronic songs)
Superliminal (very good calming piano)
Boneworks and bonelab (these are absolutely phenomenal like electronic tracks, Michael Wyckoff fucking nailed the sound track for both games and both are perfect)
Red dead redemption 2 (the entire game is perfect and so is the sound track) (haven’t played the first one)
But I swear it’s always the tiny little indie games that hire some guy off of fiverr or something like make some masterpieces.
Life is Strange soundtrack. That is, including all the licensed songs.
Was so good, got me into playing guitar.Crypt of the Necrodancer
God of War 2018. Was one of the only soundtracks I’d put on when not playing the game. Very beautiful, sometimes even haunting music.
Hear me out.
MechWarrier 2.
Bastion
Morrowind. It’s iconic.

Witcher 3. Surprised I haven’t seen it yet. The vase game is totally the best in my ears, especially the Skellige soundtrack but the expansions are also a blast!
