[Belthazar]

Chrono Cross, there's no competition

 

[WoodyStare]

Shadow of the Colossus still has the most exhilarating music I’ve ever heard in a video game. Everything about it is perfect.

 

[GnomeChimpsky]

 

[swaffles23]

Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion
The Last Guardian
Final Fantasy XIV
Hollow Knight

I listen to these OSTs on the regular

 

[Deerock71]

I'm going to mention Goldeneye's soundtrack. It was cool as fuck.

 

[JOEVIAL]

Don't forget Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, one of the most unique game soundtracks for sure. Sounds more like a downtempo drum and base album than a video game soundtrack. Incredible moody and poppy soundtrack:


And L.A. Noire's soundtrack, absolutely wonderful themes and motifs. Perfectly fits the mood of the era, one of the greatest soundtracks I've ever heard:

 

[Raven117]

There isn't one "best" one, but there are some that are truly S-tier.

Neir,
FFXIV
LA Noire
Chrono Trigger
FFVI
Skyrim
Red Dead Redemption

Just to name a few.

 

[FunkMiller]

Come on people.

[Pallas]

There are a lot of great OST’s in gaming and I wanted to limit my choices to just two, there are probably better OST’s but these two really stood out to me…

 

[Oberstein]

It's tough to answer this question. We all have our favorites, and there is often a consensus on soundtracks that have already been quoted endlessly in similar threads.

Should we then choose an obscure soundtrack, privilege nostalgia, new sounds, Gregorian choirs or original Slavic chants?

Well, I choose a bit of originality combined with nostalgia: the soundtrack of Super Aleste. Nobody was going to mention it anyway XD

 

[The Janitor]

 

[rofif]

I am a big soundtrack guy.... that's almost all I listen too.
The Darkness, Dungeon of the Endless, Death stranding, Nier, ff7remake, ff xv, blodoborne, aqua kitty, shadow of the colossus, last guardian, pikuniku, blasphemous, bejeweled twist, crackdown, ... I have over 150 soundtracks... cannot compute... so much amazing music...
But ultimately, FOR THE GREATEST ONE?

UNREAL. Alexander Brandon is god.

 

[Thanati]

Jet Set Radio Future was pretty damned good.

Also, Shatter was pretty damned awesome as well.

[8BiTw0LF]

 

[GustavoLT]

 

[Ezquimacore]

Still the most hardcore videogame soundtrack ever.

 

[Kumomeme]

FFXIV overall, for sure but recent Endwalker expansion has some of definitely among best of the best.

[93xfan]

OOT and Banjo are the best soundtracks overall but Skyrim, Halo and Shadow of the Colossus have some incredible tracks.

Those are fantastic soundtracks

 

[93xfan]

Love seeing this mentioned. Such an incredible soundtrack. (and game)

I don't think I've seen TES IV mentioned yet, and that's one of my favorites.

Another underappreciated soundtrack is Okami. Such a phenomenal package overall.

Okami and Oblivion have amazing soundtracks! Glad to see those mentioned

 

[Come On Tars]

Did some listening, watched your YouTube videos. Going to say it again, Skyrim shits all over the weeb rock noise you put me through. You all should be EMBARRASSED.

 

[Dr.brain64]

tesiv oblivion

 

[Efren is G.O.A.T.]

Chrono Trigger

FUCKING Lufia 2!!!

 

[Superkewl]

For me, I would say Vanilla/OG World of Warcraft

 

[93xfan]

Halo 1-3

Don’t forget ODST. Some great stuff in there too

 

[Moonjt9]

Chrono Cross easily.

The fact that it took over 20 posts for this to be mentioned is a travesty.

 

[ebevan91]

Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire has a great soundtrack.

 

[TintoConCasera]

tfw Starcraft's OST has already been posted. :')

The Nintendo 64 had some great music in their games, but those three stand out imo:








But if I have to post one of my favs, it's this one from the 3DS:



17 (!) battle themes plus a ton of themes for exploration and other shit. Some of them are remakes of previous games themes, which is kinda cheating but still, amazing OST.

 

[Aenima]

Nier Automata.

 

[EbeneezerGoode]

I have emerged from many years of lurking to make my first post because I am AGHAST nobody has mentioned:

Bully

 

[Icymanipulator]

Final Fantasy 6
Nier Automata
Super Mario Galaxy
Xenogears
Chrono Trigger
Skyrim

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

killer instinct snes.

the SNES audio itself was a letdown, but the arcade originals were supreme.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Formula One on PS1. It has a few Joe Satriani and Steve Vai songs, but you can exclude those if you want. Their in house band called Overdrive did a great bunch of electric guitar songs.

Really good ones are Stateside, Flat Out, Adrenaline Rush, and Chai Reaction. Flip through the playlist songs.

 

[GymWolf]

I still use it during training (from yt tho)

 

[Handel]

Okami
Halo
Night in the Woods
Shadow of the Colossus
