For my money it’s a tie between Eurydice’s song from Hades, any of the tracks from VVVVVV and Still Alive. But what do you think?
For me it’s is:
- Final Fantasy 7 (sheer volume of classics, listen to it regularly)
- Resident Evil 2 (PSX)
- Tekken 3
- Silent Hill 2
- Spyro (come on, it’s Stewart Copeland!)
have you listened to ff7 lofi remixes on YouTube though? 👀
Thankyou! I have a lofi playlist and this is going to be added immediately.
I have not, but am going there right now! Any particular playlist?
apologies for the YouTube links but I really dig [this one] (https://youtu.be/0nBYI0owpeY?si=uf8046PS4jv28y5l) by Rifti Beats. Every track is gold on that.
This one is pretty good and has neat, nostalgic visuals to go with it.
If you like a little bit more trippy synthwave style this one is very cool too. There’s an FF8 one too.
Or Team Teamworks’ Vinyl Fantasy 7?
Your reality is amazing

The Halo Trilogy I truly believe is the best video game music. The original from CE instantly became iconic and felt pivotal to the game. Then each iteration tweaked the formula in a way that represented the respective game. The heavy rock Breaking Benjamin style from Halo 2 represents the rebellious nature of the story (and honestly it represented gaming culture at the time). Then the music really matured with a heavy piano theme for Halo 3. The score made you feel the sacrifice of the characters and us saying goodbye to a brilliant story.
Some great tracks:
Space Harrier or Outrun, for sure.
Special award for Ghost n Goblins or Commando and some others like Dragon’s Lair.
Okami has a truly beautiful soundtrack, my favourites are the ‘The Sun Rises’ and The Eight Dog Warriors Theme’. Also Calamari Inkantation from Splatoon is fantastic.
There are many great ones. Off the top of my head, each with a sample:
- Baldur’s Gate 3 (recent addition)
- Return of the Obra Dinn
- Portal 2
- Deep Rock Galactic
- Doom Eternal
- Deus Ex - Human Revolution
- Ori and the Will of Wisps (haven’t played it enough yet but music stood out)

In bg3 I’m currently in a fight with a certain trickster and the music for that is freaking great.

Firelink Shrine from Dark Souls, it’s so peaceful and melancholic
From games all have amazing soundtracks. I just played through everything from demon souls to Elden ring including sekiro and bloodborne and realised they all have amazing, but very different, soundtracks. Most bosses have completely unique soundtracks it’s amazing the attention to detail and you miss it if you aren’t specifically listening for it .

Kenshi has some of the best ambient music. Scorching wind gives chills every time.
Others have mentioned kingdom hearts, donkey Kong country and Jet Set Radio Future which are some of my favorites, but another one I love is Maplestory. Great simplistic map BGMs that I still listen to quite often when studying or focusing
And now I’ve got the Henesys music playing in my head. Old MS was so fun back in the day. Mesos pls :'(
Underwater theme from donkey Kong country
I love listening to Rimworlds OST and Hotline Miamis soundtrack.
I’m a big fan of the Offworld Trading Company OST.
