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.

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.

Megaman 2 still reigns supreme IMO. The most consistent soundtrack for any video game ever. Bangers end-to-end.

Sexy Parodius is also fantastic. It's a demented mix of jacked up, synthesized classical and folk tunes. This is probably my favorite track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlRO9Q0dbQA&list=PLAdIErLpAnQCc5Mk19_MAyeV5bMGsFRpG&index=24 The synth-sax is incredible!

Ape Out really only has the one song... but it is perfectly utilized to puncuate the gameplay experience.

I think nothing top the JRPGs. My current favs would be Nier: Replicant & Nier: Automata. There's also this rather obscure game I love called Ar Tonelico in which the music is part of the story; of course that wouldn't do if the music suck.

Other than that, I love the entire soundtracks for both Cult of the Lamb as well as Stray.

Nobody's mentioned this one yet, perhaps because it's a bit obscure, but Vib-Ribbon (PS1) has such a unique and endearing OST. I never played the game, but I heard one of the songs and got totally hooked.

Destiny 2 has some fantastic pieces. Deep Stone Lullaby, Journey, Aethenasia (sp?) to name a few.

Super Monkey Ball 2 - not in the sense that I'd want to sit and listen to them, but they really fit the game super well. And I've heard them sampled in actual songs before... Also as YouTube video background music many times.

Civ 3 has my fav soundtrack. My favorite is this gem you get in the modern era:

OTXO and what's even more impressive is that the developer of the game made the music himself! GhostRunner had a bangin' ass soundtrack too.

[–] Pazintach@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Planescape Torment and Icewind Dale. Not all the tracks but many of their tracks are great. I play them on the loop.

Also The Witcher has great soundtracks, I often play them on the loop while I was working.

Subnautica. Love the atmosphere that the music conveys.

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