I need some bangers.

bonus point: Favorite Composer, favorite Track

 

[The Cockatrice]

Too many too count so I'll just post someone that gaf rarely mentions even tho his plays on spotify are big.

 

[Kings Field]

I feel like I posted this 1000 times this week but this is the quintessential soundtrack for eargasms

The multiplayer bit is quite nice

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

I'll leave you with two of my favorites that I think I've listen about two dozen times each by now:





Oh and this one from the Tetris Effect OST (it's such a fucking great game that just thinking about it makes me run to my PS5 to play it lol):

 

[Kataploom]

 

[Spyxos]

 

[Guilty_AI]

Borislav Slavov is a wizard

 

[beatdowniidx]

Easy

 

[Sethbacca]

Ni No Kuni was composed by Joe Hisaishi of Studio Ghibli fame. Absolute masterpiece.

Easy

You should listen to the band 3TEETH, they just had a new album drop this week but they did a couple songs with Mick Gordon that are bangers.

 

[Spyxos]

Ha, this i actually pretty good. I am like 20 hours in Starfield but never noticed it has a good soundtrack.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Oh boy, OP, what have you done....

Sorry, but I love these threads and since OP asked for bangers I'll have to list some more of my favorites which I hope people visiting this thread will enjoy listening to.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

Sugaan Essena -The Hu



The Last Of Us Part 2

Ellie: [To JJ] "Your mom is very easy to please.
Dina: "I'm with you, my bar is very low."

Crooked Still - Little Sadie




Cover of the Wicked Game" featuring Annaca used in the Forza Horizon 3 Official E3 Trailer (probably my fav forza trailer ever and it's a bit of cheating I guess since it's not really part of the OST)



Ilan Eshkeri & Shigeru Umebayashi – The Way of the Ghost | Ghost of Tsushima



Killzone 3 Main Menu Theme And Ever We Fight On by Joris De Man (makes me quite sad thinking that we might not get any Killzone games in the future)



And finally I'll have to mention Final Fantasy - Prelude by Nobuo Uematsu because it's a masterpiece and makes me cry like a bitch every time I listen to it.




Oh and I almost forgot, Days Gone had quite some bangers on the OST like this emotional song by Billy Raffoul - Hell or High Water




Guess I'll have to hashtag advert this one for Callisto Protocol since it's such a dope main theme for the game (Kings Elliot - Lost Again)



And I think that's all. Enjoy!

 

[Ultra Donny]

 

[Boneless]

FF7, no contest.

I'll leave this here so you can cry.

 

[Guilty_AI]

ULTRAKILL ost, composed by the developer himself.

 

[yanhash]

Goated, only piece of music that makes me cry. Koichi Sugiyama deserves more recognition

 

[Kuranghi]

Recently discovered this:

 

[sigmaZ]

This song from Octopath Traveler 2 nearly made me question my existence.

 

[Crayon]

The fully ff7r soundtrack is up there. As long as you like having a bunch of renditions of the same tracks. Helps that they are all classics to begin with.

 

[Crayon]

Here's a gamey track.

 

[YCoCg]

The best Monkey Island soundtrack since it was one of the few times the series where LucasArts gave Michael Land a crazy budget and a full orchestra

 

[RaduN]

Death Stranding's is God tier.

 

[yanhash]

This song from Octopath Traveler 2 nearly made me question my existence.

Metallica "Unforgiven" vibes

 

[20cent]

Nier Automata

 

[Gojiira]

Pffft Metal Gear Solid 2 and it isn’t even close…BEST main theme ever



The rest of the MGS series as well, especially 4 has some of the best high impact musical scores.
Bloodborne, Doom, DMC, Uncharted, God of War all have amazing soundtracks too.

 

[IAmRei]

i would recommend chrono cross, octopath traveller or almost all square enix ost

recently got this:

rocking solid 10/10 for me

 

[RAIDEN1]

Imagine a modern day "remake" of Golden Axe with a soundtrack like this! :

 

[brenobnfm]

Best sci-fi ost hands down, too bad Mass Effect 2 and 3 are gargabe (the games the and OSTs).

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Finally, CDPR have uploaded this banger they've used in Phantom Liberty as the main theme song.

 

[geary]

 

[Killjoy-NL]

SotC, best OST hands down.

Swift horse:


Opened Way:


This is probably the best track:

Epilogue:

 

[Little Mac]

 

[ThatPolishGuy]

Yeah, Blood Money - one of the best OSTs imho. Still a bit salty they have let go of Jesper Kyd. He captured it all, his OSTs were amazing. He is up there with Amon Tobin and Eric Brosius for me.

More of Jesper from me:


I'm gonna pitch in my two cents with Eric Brosius.






And of course Amon Tobin




They should rehire Amon for Splinter Cell Remake.

 

[drezz]

I didnt even play Lou2; due to golfing conflicts, but!



Also Gow:R has some bangers, and this one is just such a mood.



Ofcourse some Witcher 3.



Some old MW2 songs here and there, but this is my fav.



And then some hype

 

[PanzerCute]

Olivier Deriviere is imo one of the most talented and innovative composer of present days. His work on many games is really top notch and he is also one to advocate that video game soundtracks and sound design have to be dynamic and in support of gameplay and the emotions that player will feel.

Here are some examples :

Plague Tale Innocence :


Plague Tale Requiem:


Vampyr :


Streets of Rage 4 :


Greedfall :


Remember Me:


I have many other examples of great OST from other composers that I will post later, but I wanted to highlight this guy.

Max Payne 3

Heath - Tears


Hotline Miami 2

Carpenter Brut - Roller Mobster
