Favourite game music?

Ok continuing on from my last thread, he's a different question.

What is your favourite music from a Video Game?

So for me, there are two answers to this for me.

One: The opening theme songs for the VR Games, I expect you to Die. They are absolute and fantastic, and certainly channel that classic James Bond spy feeling. Cannot help but sing them.

Second, multiple songs from Final Fantasy XIV. To The Edge, Endwalker - Footfalls, Shadowbringers, some of the songs from the Alexander Raids , there's too many to name, but these are all great, and seriously can't stop myself singing along to any of them when they come on.

Ori and the Blind Forest + Will of the Wisps, hands down

Edit: behind the scenes soundtrack

ChildEater,

"Con Lentitud Poderosa"

It's the final song on the Risk of Rain 2 OST (base game.) It plays after you beat the final boss and it just hits so hard.

"Once in a Lullaby" is also fantastic (from the Survivors of The Void DLC) and it's just amazing.

LemmyRemy,

The Messenger has amazing music harkening back to the 8 and 16bit stuff from the MegaMan games. Underrated game in general too.

antonymous,

Chiming in with the Professor Layton games on DS. It's a whole vibe, sort of jazzy and woody and folky. Specially love the live versions

cornballdefense,

Only slightly on topic, but are you as hype as I am for the new one coming to switch??

antonymous,

Yep sad nothing got announced on the direct today but since we only got cinematics I assume it's still early development

For me it's Doom 2016, it's just insane! Mick Gordon is a genius.

Fflewddur,

The Last of Us is definitely the one soundtrack I listen to the most.

Honourable mentions: Mass Effect, Red Dead Redemption 2, Far Cry 5, Heavy Rain.

TGRush,

Probably not the most unique take, but I still really love Minecraft's soundtrack (and other C418 tracks for that matter).

Favorite instrumental soundtrack themes are from the early Silent Hill games. The theme from SH1 and the Theme of Laura from SH2 are classics.

Favorite lyrical songs used within the game for plot: Alan Wake has characters in it who are 70s rock gods called Old Gods of Asgard, and the creators got a group named Poets of the Fall to actually write the two songs that were featured from the game and they are actually really great songs. Poet and the Muse is a plot point and Children of the Elder God is played during a really good sequence.

MrFahrenheit,

Darksiders II has a phenomenal OST. I still listen to that regularly.
That being said the Burnout 3 music was great but obviously not an OST

axus,

Xenogears and Chrono Trigger soundtracks, a lot of that is how they evoke good memories of playing the games long ago.

gk99,

Minecraft. If I had to pick a song specifically, I'm gonna say Subwoofer Lullaby. It just really captures the calm, familiar feeling of "living" in Minecraft. Farming, renovating, adventuring, spelunking, etc. Whenever I'm working on something, ranging from just building the first rendition of a house in a new world to developing an automatic redstone-powered bamboo farm to supply a mass smelting furnace at the bottom of the world that uses water elevators for access, the soundtrack is unmatched.

It also just helps that it's an iconic game for people my age and I've spent years on and off playing it since alpha.

ScotinDub,

Loved the music in hollow knight

antonymous,

Hornets battle theme, the Mantis Lords theme, heck all the battle themes.

So excited for Silksong

ScotinDub,

Me too :-) Hope it is released soon

The Persona 5 and Hollow Knight soundtracks are excellent to me, followed closely by Celeste. Hollow Knight's music just sets the mood perfectly for the game.

Surprised Darren Korb hasn't had a mention yet.

Bastion and Hades have phenomenal OSTs.

alboru11221,

Same here, i love Transistor's music

Perhaps some lesser known soundtracks would be those composed for the Samorost games by Floex. They're all fantastic, weird, and minimal but organic sounding. I love them a lot.
