Ash of the Gods and Pilgrims
Hyper Light Drifter and Return of the Obra Dinn for different reasons.
I try to listen to the HLD soundtrack every so often, but always find it slightly uncomfortable without the game
- Shovel Knight
- Chrono Trigger
- Unreal Tournament 99
- Quake II
Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2, OBVIOUSLY.
Bastion, Beyond Good & Evil, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, Mirror’s Edge.
and Hades, although I refuse to call it a “patient gamer” game
All the hades osts are so good. They just don’t miss.
Oh man the Mirrors Edge soundtrack is so good
Hades, although I refuse to call it a “patient gamer” game
Why? It’s 6 years old at this point so I think it qualifies.
shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up
BGE soundtrack is so good.
Propaganda
Mechanicus and
Ixion
Both games came out fairly recent and have OSTs by Guillaume David. They are both good games on their own, but get great due to the OST.

secret tip: Fez
Came here to say this! Also Bastion, kind of the same generation of indie games, I feel.
To The Moon
I have played that game five times (so I could share the experience with other people) and have broken down into tears at the end every time.
Hollow Knight, though I don’t really listen to it outside the game.
Cyberpunk has some great songs on the radio.Unreal Tournament 2004 is my favorite OST by number of tracks that I love. It has several absolute banger tracks, like Morpheus3, Hyperblast-Redux, Convoy, Atlantis and Level11. I often keep a number of those tracks on my playlists.
Although I don’t like the game itself much (I suck at it), Cloudbuilt also has some awesome tracks, my personal favorite is Aurora. The guitar chords at the apex is just heavenly.
Rebel Galaxy has some very nice stuff to feel like a 'merican space cowboy, it’s mostly licensed music as far as i can tell.
Assault Android Cactus usually gets your blood pumping hard, which is great because the game is a pretty fun twin-stick arena. The tracks Assault and Licorice are just 👨🍳😙👌
… Come to think of it, looking at my list, I’m a real sucker for sci-fi OSTs, huh. I do want to make honorable mentions to Mass Effect (mostly 2), Skyrim and Smash Bros. Ultimate
Deus Ex and System Shock 2
Bungie-era Halo has the best OST in the industry hands down, though recently Lunacid let me hear some certified bangers; someone here mentioned B:G&E, and I second that opinion although I wouldn’t have thought of it myself.
Halo Reach was such an excellent send off. What a powerful soundtrack.
Halo Reach is my best honestly
Commander, you don’t have the firepower!
I’ve got the mass.
Solid copy. Hit 'em hard, boss.
You’re on your own, Noble.
Lieutenant, get aboard. We gotta get the hell outta here
Negative. I have the gun. Good luck, sir.
Good luck to you, Spartan.
The use of language in Reach is masterful. Even with one liners like ‘DOT, check your vector’, or mutterings like ‘armour configuration matched’ - ‘shield strength too’ add so much believability to the world.
I wanna go play reach now.
The Halo 3: ODST OST is so good, man.
The Mombasa Streets music made me stop in my tracks a couple times.
SimCity 4 ❤️
Halo Reach, hands down. Phenomenal, all the feels
Bloodborne OST is the first that comes to mind for me.
