Games with absolute banger OSTs (and perhaps good stories / gameplay)

Dear patient lemmings, I am in need of your help. I’m searching for games that have some GOD DAAMN OSTs and come with a great story or/and gameplay.

Games that tick these requirements for me:

  • Danganronpa 1/2/V3 + Ultra Despair Girls (most recently finished)
  • Persona 4/5 (waiting for Persona 3 remaster)
  • NFS Most Wanted (2005, 2012), Carbon, ProStreet
  • Doom 2016, Eternal
  • Test Drive Unlimited 2
  • Life is Strange
  • Ace Combat 7
  • Omori
  • ULTRAKILL

How has nobody said Hotline Miami yet?

PrivateNoob,

Oh thank you for the reminder! I had put that game down somewhere in the start, because it was a bit harsh to beat the levels with an ergonomic mouse.

shapesandstuff,

Oh hm its definitely tough by design. Don’t feel bad about reloading a lot.

Also i think controller support is good.

inode,

My choices are the following:

  • Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor - Good guitar riffs and it fits the mood of the game
  • Brutal Legend - Lots of music, lots. Ozzy Osbourne is in the game
  • Final Fantasy 8 - I think it had a memorable soundtrack
  • Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - The original radio stations were great in this game.

Some games with soundtracks I particularly enjoyed over the last couple years:

  • A Hat in Time - a cute, fun collect-a-thon platformer with a kickass soundtrack. This one is particularly fun to play and hits nostalgia vibes for the early 3D Mario games.
  • Shantae and the Seven Sirens - 2D platformer with an energetic chiptune-y soundtrack. The game itself is OK, but the soundtrack is what really made this one for me.
  • Paradise Killer - vaporwave inspired surreal murder mystery
  • Subnautica - underwater survival and crafting game with a soundtrack that set the mood very well
  • Demons Roots - 18+ RPGMaker game where you lead a demon uprising to reclaim the surface world, invading country after country freeing slaves as you go. Very dark game that is unusually good for the type of game it is. If you're not put off by the RPGMaker doujin wabi-sabi and are tolerant of adult content in games this one is worth a look. There are some absolute bangers in the soundtrack.
  • Pyre - Lord of the Rings meets 3v3 basketball with a very enjoyable soundtrack by Darren Korb (Bastion).
PrivateNoob,

Actually thank you for the reminder, I forgot about playing Hat in Time entirely. It was a really fun experience.

flontlocs,
  • The Yakuza/Like A Dragon series. You can get good sales on the mainline games if you wait.
  • Based on your 1st bullet, gonna assume you already played Ace Attorney/Great Ace Attorney.
PrivateNoob,

Understandable assumption, but I haven’t played Ace Attorney yet, but a lot of others have already recommended it.

MrTHXcertified,

I have absolutely jammed to the original Unreal Tournament (UT’99) soundtrack on my commute.

bgsulz,

Mighty Switch Force is apparently really fun. The music is like candy. Same composer as Shovel Knight – Jake Kaufman.

PrivateNoob,

Yeah this song really catches a quirky happy energetic vibe. Thank you for the recommendation!

Agent_HX,

Guilty Gear not even getting mentioned once is criminal, the entire franchise has amazing music, to the point where the fanbase and the fighting game community likes to joke that they get a free game with every new music album whenever a new game comes out.

To add to this, basically everything Daisuke Ishiwatari makes, who is mainly responsible for almost everything about the game.

PrivateNoob,

Damn the animation style looks absolutely breathtaking. I’m not a fighting game person per se, but does it have a story?

Agent_HX,

It does have a story, there are some story recaps on youtube if you want to check it out.

Lolors17,

Undertale, love the Temmie Village song. The OST can be heard in all kinds of videos. Maybe since you liked ULTRAKILL (based on graphics), you’ll like Undertale.

NieR:Automata is an absolute banger. It has a banger of a soundtrack and a really great story. I personally love the park area and the forest.

Subnautica, the OST, really helps to create an immersive experience. It is sometimes mysterious, it can be dark but also adventurous. The music kind of guides you through the uncharted lands.

The Legend of Zelda: BotW I know, it’s a WIIU/Switch game, and I know TotK is out, but the design and the music of the game are fitting so well together. The OST is so incredible.

PrivateNoob,

Can’t go wrong with these for sure. Do you need preliminary knowledge about Zelda if you’re an absolute newbie in the series?

bgsulz,

BOTW was my first Zelda game. Absolutely zero background needed. If I hadn’t heard of the other games, I would have thought it was the first one in the series.

Wonderful, complex, textured music. Fades in and out of the ambience as if just another sound of nature.

janus2,

Earthbound and Mother 3 could be exactly what you’re looking for. There’s just nothing quite like them OST, story, and gameplay wise.

Little Nightmares and Little Nightmares 2 also have excellent music that perfectly complement their soul-squeezing visuals and gameplay.

Portal 2 has very little music but it is GOOD, and perfectly timed to key moments in the story. Also top notch unique gameplay, obvs.

Skyrim music is iconic for a reason.

https://off.fandom.com/wiki/Downloads’s music is similarly iconic and its story and visuals so unique and engaging you’ll likely forgive it for being unapologetically RPG-maker. The latest English translation (3.0) is considered the most faithful to the original French.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/243220/FRACT_OSC/ is a “musical exploration game” where you directly influence the soundtrack by interacting with a beautiful, surreal puzzle landscape with Tron-like visuals.

PrivateNoob,

OFF? WOOOW okay you definitely got me surprised over there. Half a year a I’ve tried running OFF on Linux but I just had too many issues with the compatiblity, so I left it there.

thanks to this lovely FOSS project it can be played on linux and even Android :) I’ve been playing Space Funeral on my phone with it. Actually if you like psychedelic rock, you’d probably love Space Funeral’s music too.

yeah OFF’s soundtrack doesn’t have a lot of tracks, and several are rather minimalist ambient music, but it’s all very unique and it fits the game perfectly. The main battle theme, Pepper Steak, is so catchy that my mom requested I add it to her phone as her ringtone for me 🤭

PrivateNoob,

WHAAAAT OMG THANK YOU! Old school RPG Maker games, here I go!

janus2,

hell yeah!! :D

Lesrid,

Caves of Qud doesn’t have a very big OST but I happened to absolutely love it. The game is similar to Rogue (or more directly Dwarf Fortress adventure mode), as in time only passes when you move and everything is represented by a tile, but it has pretty good controller support as of a recent update.
