Personally, I’m a huge fan of Hollow Knight, Ori and the (Blind Forest/Will of the Wisps), and Kingdom Hearts. Orchestral soundtracks are just something else…

This is going way back, but the 7th Guest soundtrack had lived in my head since the first time I saw the game. Really great atmosphere, equal parts creepy and playful, perfect mood for a haunted mansion filled with puzzles.
I just made a community for the T7G series!
Joined! 👍
The haunted jazz aesthetic of the soundtrack is so enjoyable!

I’ve found my people (how do you @ mention people here?)
we have a Discord fan club for the series https://discord.gg/Hss5cJg
Discord is not my jam, but thanks for pointing it out!
Have y’all heard about the Soup’s On vinyl cover album that’s on Kickstarter right now? Between that and the VR reboot, there’s an awful lot of 7th Guest stuff in the pipe right now!
yea! I’ve been thinking I need to buy a VR headset soon lol
The original quake soundtrack is great if “sound textures by Nine Inch Nails” interests you. Adding on to that, try the soundtracks for fan-made quake campaigns like Arcane Dimensions and Dwell.
Death Stranding hands down for me!
The Nier Automata OST is perfection. Almost every single track is memorable and lovable, I often relisten the whole ost just for fun
It’s got to be Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross, and really everything by Nobuo Uematsu.
Also you can’t go past Koji Kondo. Ocarina of Time is a great example of how talented he is.

https://youtu.be/6wJmVxvJTEsCave Story has some great retro tracks. Some people prefer the originals but I played it with the arranged versions: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLr5fTLogAd5tW_oPORRtgznxL-kUt9z7h
Little known PC game called Chenso Club has a pumping soundtrack by Knasibas: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nHBZFT82t4__lHXCD8bi3WhA98hQaSGuo&feature=share
Persona 5 Royal. Close 2nd is Nier: Automata. Both amazing OSTs
There’s this french MMO i played as a kid called Dofus and that soundtrack still hits hard when I listen. I think part of it is nostalgia but also its just so beautiful
It’s weird how MMO have some of the best OST in the whole gaming world. For me it’s the Dragon ball Global online OST, played it as a kid with my older brother. It’s OST brings back one of my most cherished memories. Here’s the link if anyone’s interested
Outer Wilds. Yeah it’s one of the greatest games ever made, but would it be so good without that soundtrack? Debatable.
I petitioned to play something from it at my actual wedding (sadly was overruled), and I know I’m not the only one.
Was looking for someone to mention Outer Wilds. I love when games weave music into storytelling and its perfect here.
I know! It’s such a good ost! I think one of my favorite songs for it, although not from the ost, is Andrew Prahlow’s Outer Wild - Reprise single. It’s got aspects of all different main themes and is just overall an amazing piece
I can barely make it 30 seconds into that one without tearing up and I’m not ashamed to admit it.
TUNIC, FEZ, Nier Automata, Outer Wilds.
I also have a soft spot for Paper Mario and TTYD, those soundtracks are full of bops
There are so many good game soundtracks listed in this tread!
Here are some of my favorites:
- Chrono Trigger
- Diablo II
- Elden Ring
- Final Fantasy <insert number> (and pretty much anything by Nobuo Uematsu)
- Hades (and all of the Supergiant Games soundtracks)
- NieR: Automata
- Witcher III
One that I love (in addition to Ori and Hollow Knight) is Spiritfarer. Beautiful all the way through with lovely orchestration and colorful melodies.
Several OSTs that have stuck with me through the years:
The FTL composer also composed the Subnautica Below Zero soundtrack. It’s a nice mix, almost a combination of FTL sci-fi sounds and the more soothing ambience of the original Subnautica.
Oh, awesome, didn’t know that. Will check it out 👍
+1 for Hollow Knight! I’ve actually been loving the music for Surviving Mars. maybe a bit niche, but really nice. Especially the “official mars radio” station.
