A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Lots of good choices in the comments already so I'll start with what I'm currently obsessed with: Project Wingman and its DLC, FRONTLINE-59.

OTXO is also great if you're looking for some heart-pounding action, both in-game and to listen.

Neotokyo, the old source mod has two fantastic cyberpunk albums for its OST: GSDF and NSF. Both have their own unique style instead of trying to imitate the classics which is a huge plus.

I've seen Drakengard being mentioned already so have some heavenly sounds announcing the end of the world. If you'd like something that doesn't cause as much mental damage as the first game, Drakengard 3 is your friend! It's still possesses the mad undertones of the original and some of the boss music can be take it or leave it for some people as the heavy electronic vibes can clash with the medieval fantasy aesthetic (I love them all personally) but it has some absolute bangers as well.
Here are the usual suspects when people talk about this title:

  • Black Song - surprisingly light considering when it plays in the game.
  • The Final Song is a backing track for an 8 minute boss fight with no checkpoints and no place for mistakes (1HP through the whole thing baby!).
  • This Silence Is Mine - if you want to listen to someone who've been through hell and back singing asking for the sweet release of death. It's raw, it's emotional and it perfectly encapsulates all the themes of the D3's protagonist, Zero. Still one of my favourite OST songs of all time despite listening to it for at least a decade now.

Last but not least, Shantae and the Pirate's Curse. It's filled with fun and energetic tracks which fit perfectly with the light comedic tone of the series. Jake Kaufman's masterpiece and probably my favourite OST in the series.

Pillars of eternity 1 and 2, octopath traveler, Chrono trigger, streets of rage, sonic 1-3, and doom eternal were all pretty amazing

I really like the soundtrack to Suikoden. Maybe it's nostalgia, but it's one of the better ones for me.

And lunar silver star story is pretty good too.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's entire soundtrack is also a masterpiece but just to share a few:

The Bastion OST by Darren Korb is amazing and introduced me to his other music, which is also great!

[–] rob951951@piefed.social 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The developer gets a lot of hate but the Fez soundtrack really complemented the game.

Also any soundtrack done by Disasterpeace is basically gold.

MDK

MDK 2

Very different styles, but both soudtracks are absolute masterpieces.

[–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

MDK 2 Main theme has been rocking in my mp3 folder since the release of the game. And I just have unlocked core memory by listening Tanker Theme. Thanks for making me recall all these tunes!
