I always liked Quake 2's soundtrack. I also like how the game was on a CD rom, and the music was all regular CD tracks, so I was able to rip em to MP3s back in the day and I still listen to em all the time

Best soundtrack by far is the Life is Strange Before the Storm prequel, the first game LiS soundtrack is pretty good too.

Glad someone mentioned Brutal Legend, the sound track for that game is just the best.

I also agree about being disappointment with the sound track in breath of the wild.

Castlevania has had some of my favorite sound tracks, the adaptation they did for the Netflix show is spot on.

Does anybody remember getting the "Killer Kuts" CD with their copy of Killer Instinct for the SNES?

As a kid, I probably listened to this more than I should have.

Whats yours?

When I saw this thread title, immediately the Command & Conquer series sprang to mind as the very first thing. Frank Klepacki's stuff was amazing.

Of more recent vintage, the 2016 DOOM reboot has an amazing soundtrack.

My fav track

Surely an honourable mention to that bit in Red Dead Redemption where you first cross into the not-Mexico?

Ooo the intro to Speedball 2 on the Amiga by Bitmap Bros.
Yup add that to the list

Gave me chills when this first played.

Undertale and Final Fantasy IX.

Really old school is "Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries" was recorded in "Redbook Audio" (normal CD music format) and find it has a good driving beat as backdrop for big lumbering 20+ ton stomping robots.


Runner-up I would say is the original Myst (the You-tube stuff is remastered from the original MIDI as best I can tell and removed some of the creepy sounds to it):

Chrono Cross was a game of... contrasts, but it had an amazing soundtrack. Still my favorite of many.

I forgot two of my favourites!
ICO - an utterly fantastic game overlooked by many (including myself) for its marketing not quite making clear what it was about sort of. It's an utter golden gem of a game (Castle in the Mist is beautiful!)




Shadow of the Colossus - same studio, very different style of game and once more utterly fantastic

Star Wars Gaxaly still does it for me, especially the opening theme ...

I honestly forgot about this. Which is weird because I had a phase where I was really in to Jose Gonzalez and Junip. He makes great music.

Amazing choice for the game though.

It's probably cheating, but Conan Exiles has a fair amount of music lifted straight from the '82 Conan the Barbarian. Which is a durned fine piece of work.

For me it has to be Final Fantasy 9 by far, with Chrono Trigger coming a close second.

"You are not alone" to this day makes me tear up.

Surprised no one has mentioned this yet. Amazing series, awesome soundtrack.
