Man that takes me back. Full Throttle, Indiana Jones, Under a Killing Moon, so many great point and click adventure games from that time.
Tarrey Town theme from Breath of the Wild
The ending song to the first Portal
Her voice and inflection was so perfect, like Siri level
The Psychonauts soundtracks, either the first or second game, but I'd say moreso the first one. About a third of the songs are kinda country twangy instrumentals because the game takes place in a summer camp. They're the perfect lazy summer day songs imo.
Especially the track Whispering Rock from the first games.
Finally got around to playing part 2 last week and itβs phenomenal. The soundtrack in part two has the perfect blend of campy secret agent themes and the summer camp nostalgia vibes.
I love all the spy ones like Loboto Interior Sneak, Landing At The Luctopus, and Casino Hallway Sneak. Honorable mention for Here's How it's Done.
But imo the combat music in Psychonauts 2 is where the soundtrack really shines. I mean just listen to A Little Fight Music, Lady Luctopus, Panic Attack, Fight in the Library, and pretty much any boss music from the second one. Each track is so punchy and energetic.
Deus Ex Human Revolution soundtrack hits just right for me.
oh thatβs probably perfect
The Cassette Beasts soundtrack is excellent and they've recently released some acoustic/live sessions. "Wherever we are now" would suit your theme perfectly.
Tim Follin makes good music. Try the NES Pictionary theme song and if you like that Solstice theme song will blow you away.
Anything by Nobuo Uematsu
The fragrance of dark coffee from Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney (especially the insaneintherain cover: https://youtu.be/UBy5qquWcEg ).
- Altoβs Adventure Soundtrack (which is driven by the composer of the band Lydian Collective)
- Machinarium Soundtrack (Floex / Tomas Dvorak)
Both are IMHO absolutely the perfect amount of βbright chillβ you want for an early coffee
Super Castlevania IV SNES
Specially "The Cave"
I'm really liking some of the Wanderstop soundtrack from C418:

Tunic
Basically anything from Jim Guthrieβs soundtrack for Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery. Itβs such a vibe
Interstate '76 soundtrack. You could also use a beer.
For me, itβs the Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack.
Start your day in Tarrey Town
"Cafe Ghibli" is also good over coffee, but that's bending the rules
The soundtrack from Risk of Rain 2 and Hades are my favorites atm.
not video game but gives me monster hunter/one piece vibes
IV. Allegro con fuoco - Dvorak (Symphony No. 9, 'From the New World')
