Morrowind and project wingman are peak. FFXIV is fantastic with a persistent leitmotif across each entire expansion. The final endwalker boss basically wrapped up YEARS worth of story and that fight music was a medly featuring every expansion’s leitmotif and holy shit I can’t get over how incredible it was. Also the pandaemonium raid music. And Alexander. Seriously you can rabbit hole for HOURS on FFXIV music.
Aquaria: Original Soundtrack by Alec Holowka
Such an underrated game. RIP Alec.
Love the Towerfall OST myself, it was such a shock to hear about him.
How has nobody mentioned Rimworld? Such an incredible soundtrack!
Been playing again recently after noticing there was a new DLC I didn’t have. I like the new tracks added by Anomaly.
Nier Automata. The entire discograpy
Pokemon USUM. If there was a looped version of the tracks, I‘d probably listen to it every day lol, it just boosts my mood. Sadly, the soundtrack (that I have) has them at 1-2 minutes.
Anything handled by Nobou Uematsu.
Minecraft (incl. Wynncraft)
Minecraft soundtrack never gets old, even 3000 hours later I can still listen to it.
Golden Sun GBA soundtrack. Also there are some really nice remixes of the fan community. The game is from 2001 but can be played with Nintendo Switch online subscription. As well as the second game (they are basically one game).
Let’s try and keep it below
1011 entries:- Disco Elysium
- Outer Wilds
- Hollow Knight
- Shadow of the Colossus + Ico
- Pyre (+all other Supergiant games)
- Valkyrie Profile
- Banner Saga trilogy
- Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
- Chrono Trigger + Cross
- Eastshade
Honestly nowadays so many games have great soundtracks, it is a joy to behold! Makes it harder to chose favorites though…
Really good list. I wanna add stardew valley and Nier automata aswell.
Als I’m gonna check out valkyrie profile tomorrow, I’ve never heard of that game.
Hollow Knight is pure art
My top four haven’t changed in a while:
- Chrono Cross
- Nier Gestalt/Replicant (original version)
- Persona 5
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
I love EDM, so any game that uses it or is inspired by it holds a special place in my heart, like Streets of Rage, Rez, Dance Dance Revolution, or the Trails of Cold Steel games (especially the second one).
Is 2016 old enough now?
The DOOM 2016 soundtrack fucking rips.Original DOOM!

- Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
- Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
I’ll skip the obvious ones with multiple artists like Furi, Katana Zero, Hotline Miami, Crypt of the Necrodancer…

The Transistor soundtrack for me is a masterpiece, still come back to it once in a while.
Those are also among my favorites. Also the Title Theme to Anno 1404: When Cultures Meet and the Beyond Good and Evil Soundtrack.
Also a great theme is used all over Tilo Alpermann’s - The Night Of The Rabbit OST
Bastion, Beyond Good & Evil, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, Mirror’s Edge.
and Hades, although I refuse to call it a “patient gamer” game
Hades, although I refuse to call it a “patient gamer” game
Why? It’s 6 years old at this point so I think it qualifies.
