i could go on

Kind of obvious, but Hades is largely just banger after banger, I especially love Good Riddance. No Escape is also a highlight, and the way it's echoed and enhanced in God of the Dead is fantastic.

I do think the Wasteland 3 soundtrack doesn't get enough love, I really enjoyed their takes on some classics.

Halo 1, 2 Reach
Animal Crossing (personally Wild World and New Leaf)
Mario Kart DS, Wii, 7, 8(D)
Bionicle Heroes DS
Art of Balance
Ghostrunner 1 and 2
Midtown Madness 3
Pokemon (Any gen)

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

/u/tal@lemmy.world is a hero for linking all the tracks in this thread.

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!

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.

Dear Esther

• Thomas Was Alone

I love so many video game soundtracks, so I'll try to just list a few:

• Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
• Monster Hunter: Tri (wonderful balance of stirring and cozy)
• Bloodborne (really almost all of FromSoft's soundtracks, but especially this one)

I also really like Hollow Knight and Hades soundtracks, and of course DOOM (2016) has already been mentioned.

The Batman Arkham games had some pretty awesome soundtracks.

final fantasy, anything thats NOT 7 simply because its played to death.

i'm ngl most nintendo games really got banger music. i esp love mario kart 8's soundtrack, peak fusion

MDK

MDK 2

Very different styles, but both soudtracks are absolute masterpieces.

Persona 3/4/5 are goated on their own ways in my opinion.

The Final Fantasy X soundtrack is great too

but rn my obsession soundtrack is Neon White, I love machine girl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9X15iDR7z8

Mirror's Edge, as well as Hardspace Shipbreaker

Not sure if mentioned yet, but EVE Online has an amazing soundtrack. Their 10 Year Anniversary Symphony is just the cream on top.
