Star control 2 was the absolute best imo

Hughe fan of the low roar songs in death stranding

It’s not better than Tetris I’ll admit. But I’ve always had a soft spot for the Mass Effect soundtrack.

Modern Warfare 2 (2009)

Left 4 Dead

Warcraft classic - TBC - WOTLK - Cataclysm

They are Billions

half life franchise (seriously every game has perfect and fitting soundtrack) super meat boy (both the original 2010 soundtrack composed by danny b and the 2015 soundtrack made by various artists rock. but the 2010 soundtrack is one of the most iconic soundtracks ever made in my opinion.)

Ace Combat

Risk of Rain 2

Castlevania, Zelda and Silent Hill (though I'd say all first 3) mentioned so I'm gonna say Alundra. Sure it's very Zelda/JRPG, but that game had some amazing music that just sticks with you.

Also a little tongue in cheek, but Adventures of Lolo. I'm not sure if there's just one song throughout the trilogy, but it sure feels like it. Weirdly it doesn't bother you. It's like a hypnosis that just makes you play one more level. One more try. Kind of like the Tetris soundtrack, but it never gets old.

My pick for best chiptune track

Skyrim was pretty epic… even the “wandering around” music was perfect.

But my #1 is Still Alive (closing theme song to Portal).

Tony Hawk was a big one. The EA sports games always have some bangers that get stuck in your head. One of my favorite video game moments, though, was bombing the tobacco fields to Bomba Estereo's "Fuego", in Far Cry 6. They employed music well, throughout, but that moment was really enveloping.

Tunic has an otherworldly soundtrack. It's perfect music to listen to while working. https://youtu.be/nnvjKf_mRYM

Kenshi has some of the best ambient music. Scorching wind gives chills every time.

Shadowrun for Sega Genesis

Space Invaders

The theme song of Locoroco. Though the lyrics are in a made-up language, I can feel the desire for world peace in this song.

Some great ones:

Gyruss (arcade)

Bubble Bobble (arcade)

WipeOut 2097(XL) (psx - probably the best example of songs that compliment the gameplay)

Afterburner II (arcade - just one specific track called City 202, at time 15:34)

Edit: 2 more

720 ( arcade - blistering)

Rolling Thunder ( arcade - max funky )

I played a beautiful game last year called Omno, and the soundtrack to that was just breathtaking. I listen to it all the time

Tenchu: Stealth Assassins

Just one track? The Requiem of Shield Knight from Shovel Knight.

Ys

@TheBananaKing

I'd say Sayonara Wild Hearts. It's a rhythm game so expertly crafted with the musicsoundtrack it gives me chills. It's so, so good

Hands down, DOOM Eternal

This is going to be highly subjective.

For me, this may not be the best, but it's one of the more memorable soundtracks.

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, Manaan theme. https://youtu.be/CNe4XHbkEZA

Chrono Cross ftw

My favorite is Dragon Age Origins, personally.

The really cool war chant for the Ostagar scene, Lelianna's Song, and the soundtrack of the Brecilian Forest are my favorite.
