What is your favorite song/theme from a video game? For me, it's the majula theme from dark souls 2, the souls series in general has lots of great music but majula sticks out as the most ambient and aesthetically pleasing theme, alongside fitting really well with the tranquil nature of the hub area of the game. what about everyone else?

A solid pick. Honestly, there's such a library of amazing video game music, that I can't pick THE best. Especially considering how different these tracks can be in where they play and for what purpose. So I'll just share 4 that I could think of as SOME of my favorites, in no particular order:



My favorite From Software boss (theme) to this day. I love phase 2 especially - 1:58



A shame this track plays in only one area that you'll quickly abandon and never return to, but damn does it set the mood.



Sonic CD was the game that made me fall in love with OSTs in the first place. This is my favorite track from the JP version (and I love both).



To this day this track manages to pull at my heartstrings every time I listen to it. I love the regular version also, and a lot of other tracks...
Aaah, you see it's so hard I can't choose!!!

Agree with @NutOrat , it's so hard to pick, as there is so many good music around in video games, and, like with films, it's not only about how good the music is, but also what the game made us feel when that music was playing.

A random pick from an old timer:



The national anthem of Achievementland and the music I'd like to be played at my funeral

Aria Math from Minecraft. It's pretty calming.

Yes!! This soundtrack is so good. It actually sounds rather similar to the song I want to share:

Blue Archive's soundtrack is so good, and I especially love their calmer songs like this one. I love the piano at the end.

I love a lot of game soundtracks and have a ton of favorites, so this is hard to pick...

Pretty much the entirety of the Shadow of the Colossus soundtrack. But the intro song especially:


Same for the Witcher 3 soundtrack, with a special shoutout for this one:


And then one I still listen to regularly since I first heard it when the game came out in 2005. Because it kicks ass:

The theme leading up to the final boss in Risk of Rain 2!


I love all the songs everyone's put here! I feel like video game OSTs can be so overlooked. Always happy to get new material to play on the radio <3
