Music Favorite Game OSTs

As the thread title says, whats your favorite vidya OST(s)? With video game music becoming more and more prominent and recognized as a legitimate form of media (because it always has been a legit form of media, but the elite snobs will tell you otherwise), which of them have caught your ears? Whether they be in [current year] or back when Boomers were young, which OSTs will stay with you till the day you die?

A few that come to mind for me immediately are NieR and NieR Automata. Both have amazing scores and even outside of the scenes they're in, can invoke those same emotions. The fake language they made for the singers to use in the songs is neat, and Hills of Radiant Wind still hits you hard out of the gate. And any time I hear Weight of the World, I can't help but tear up a bit.

No matter your opinion of Minecraft, the game has some VERY soothing music (and sometime spooky). Even the self titled track Minecraft has a unique feel to it. The perfect song to just shit and watch the day go by without a care in the world, the last few rays of sun sliding down the horizon. I may not play it (much) anymore, but if someone put on this OST, I wouldn't complain.

I know Undertale has gotten a bad rap from the fandom, but the game is still great. And Toby Fox fucking NAILED it with each track. From Once Upon A Time and Ruins, very soft and melancholic in a way, to sans. and Nyeh Heh Heh! perfectly capturing the brothers personalities (just to be hit with Snowy, my fucking GOD), all the way to Battle Against a True Hero and of course Megalovania. Though if I had to choose a track that really hit me and hit me hard (and will stick with me all my life) has to be Undertale. Even hearing it now makes me want to cry and I can't explain it. Can't even put it into words on what I feel with this song. But enough sucking off Undertale.



There's plenty of other OSTs out there that I can listen to at the drop of a dime (DOOM 2016 with BFG Division and DOOM Eternal with BFG 10k for example), but I want to hear what soundtracks you all love to listen to or hold dear!

The best OST in any video game series has to be Halo for me. There are just too many great songs to list so here is just the full playlist. I can't imagine how the games would be without them.

Kirby Super Star OST has also a many short but great tracks like Green Greens, Peanut Plain and of course Gourmet Race.

STALKERs "soundtrack" (more like ambient sounds i guess) fits perfectly to the oppressiveness and mystery of the Zone similar to Pathologic 2 soundtrack to the small town. It's not something i would listen to outside of playing them but they definitely make the games atmosphere.

Pokemon songs are the ones i will never get sick off. Its impossible to not get maximum hyped to play again after listening to Champion Cynthia and Champion & Red.

I have to say rts games are king when it comes to ost and Frank Klepacki with his work for the C&C series just takes the cake his most famous work is probably Hell march 1 2 3
I also enjoy the original music for age of empires and it is a shame the menu music didn't get any love when they remastered the music. But a fan had a resent go and I quite enjoy it.
Then we have Crash Bandicoot 2.

And a few one offs GTA 1 Theme Song, Syndicate, MGS3 snake eater, StarCraft - Terran Theme 1, Command &Conquer Mechanical Man, Warcraft 2 Orc 02, MGS4 The Best Is Yet To Come.

I could probably go on but at least I gave you a few example's.

kind of a easy choice but nier automata ost are all outstanding
also a easy choice but doom and dmc both have great ost
finally i'd say the witcher and skyrim but it's still not much of a surprising choice :korone-smug:

On the basis of games with songs from real life, Def Jam: Fight for NY hands down for me. Even the songs the developers made for fictional characters like Baxter - Blindside
Chiang - Dragon House for example
Nyne - Afterhours fit the entire purpose that they were made for especially in Story Mode. And how the developers instead of just lazily throwing the song in there with vocals like DJFFNY The Takeover did, they instead actually made the songs fit as you were playing along. The unused songs for the game like
DMX - Where Da Hood At
DMX - Who We Be
Drama - Left Right Left
Juice Know The Ledge
David Banner - Crank It Up
Beenieman - Bossman
Bubba Sparxxx - Take a Load Off
Busta Rhymes - Call the Ambulance seal the deal for me.

I have a lot of favorite ost, but im going with the ones that marked me:

Apollo Justice Ace Attorney - 'till this day my favortie AA and the ost still one of my favorites, the Trucy theme, Ema theme, Cross Examination - Allegro, Hurt Fox, Pursuit - Cornered and how forget about New trial in session.
Famicom Tantei Club Part II - This game was the guilty of making me like Kindaichi Shounen series, also its so fucking good the ost, Title screen, In front of the school gate and Sunset are the ones that makes the game to me.
Megaman Battle Network 4 Blue Moon/Red Sun - Battle network has some good ost, but this game its the one that i loved a lot, especially Battle with myself and Battle Pressure.
