[NomadicWolf382]

World of Warcraft and it's many expansions, have a great selection of music on its soundtracks. I miss playing it...

I like the ff7 soundtrack. So many good tunes.

Sid Meier's Civilization IV

Fun fact - it was the first video game track to ever win a Grammy.

Any of the ambient music from the Silent Hill franchise is my favorite.

A truly beautiful soundtrack from an old time favorite series of mine. Great taste! ^ ^


Here's a new favorite of mine. (:

 

[Squiddy]

Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Advent Rising
Oblivion
Hitman: Blood Money
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory

 

[Life sucks]

Sorry but can't count them. Each one has its own special place in my heart.

This is not really the soundtrack for Rainbow 6 Siege. I have so many hours on that game, I've wrote in a note I'd like this played at my funeral, morbid I know.

Fired this game up again out of boredom. Forgot how amazing the game and the music was. I know of people who've listened to this without playing the game.

 

[Sans]

Undertale, or Super Mario Galaxy... I cant pick just one, and I certainly can't pick just one song. So many emotional pieces.

 

[wiIIow]

oh hell don't get me started

Spoiler

(laugh all you want, the frogger 2 soundtrack fucking slaps)


Pretty much the entire Undertale soundtrack
Hotline Miami
Kirby's Adventure

I also really love anything composed by Tim Follin, but one of my faves is from a game that was never released but it's just..... it's so good. It takes almost 4 minutes to loop (the absolute madman) but give it a listen and you'll be Follin in love ha ha jha


As far as games that were actually released... how about "Prog, The Game"


anyway I could keep going forever but these are what I could think of off the top of my head haha

also shoutout to Lunarhour for journey to Silius, I always loved that soundtrack

Anyone here remember Space Channel 5...

 

[Sinai Silence]

 

[Green Destiny]

The Soundtrack from Dark Souls III is pretty good.

 

[Yoffi]

Risk of Rain has absolutely outstanding OST

 

[WinterFaust]

Any of the ambient music from the Silent Hill franchise is my favorite.

Wow I can't second this enough! Fantastic soundtrack and amazing franchise. I'll never get over how terrifying the first silent hill was, pixels and all.

[Nymph]

Probably Undertale and One shot

 

[VIBRITANNIA]

aria of the soul / the velvet room bgm from the persona series
mass destruction from persona 3
colress' theme from pkmn bw

 

[Artyom]

Always gonna have a soft spot for ODST

Video game music and video game inspired music is practically all I listen to so it warms my heart to see a thread like this.

I saw someone else already link a PMD:EOS track but here's the whole soundtrack:



I swear the things Arata Liyoshi accomplished with the limited soundfont available is absolutely staggering. This game was filled with so much heart and charm.

I'm also surprised no one that I saw mentioned Chrono Trigger yet, the crowning jewel of the SNES JRPG era:



Kirby 64 also has an amazing soundtrack but I saw someone already mentioned it so here's Kirby Super Star, which is just as good:



Black 2 and White 2 really were the end of an era for Pokemon. And while Gen 5 has a lot of great music as a whole, I think BW2 really stands out:



And lastly, a personal favorite single track from a more recent game. Breath of the Wild's Rito Village:



I know it's just a rearrangement of Dragon Roost Island from Windwaker, but the arrangement here just captures such a sense of quiet solemn nostalgia that really resonates with me. I guess that's because for me nostalgia is beautiful but will always punctuated by sadness and longing for times that never existed. Kinda like Breath of the Wild as a whole, longing for a time in the past. One that may not have even existed.
