For my money it's a tie between Eurydice's song from Hades, any of the tracks from VVVVVV and Still Alive. But what do you think?

Overworld theme and Dead Sea tracks are phenomenal.

The song from the first level of Sonic Adventure 2 (the one about escaping the city). It catchy to listen to while all of the action of Sonic unfolds.

Team Fortress 2 OST

I’ll add two of my favourites that haven’t been mentioned yet - Metroid Prime is my all time favourite and Horizon: Zero Dawn and Forbidden West which I’ve been listening to a ton late lately

Yes to Metroid Prime!

Warhammer 40,000 Mechanicus Just embodies the Techpreist vibe so well, a near perfect hybrid of church organs and industrial music.

Its actually hard to pick a favorite track, it evenly split between Children of the Omnissiah and Noosphere.

Not sure about best but the music the black mesa game did for the half life remaster was amazing.

Final fantasy 6 Chrono trigger Street fighter 2 Street fighter v Super Mario Bros 3 Mega Man 2 Undertale And this is really unfair but Def Jam fight for New York

Turrican 2 on the Amiga

I love soundtracks from Splatoon, all series. Especially Chip Damage/Blitz it! is my favourite.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Awesome for the Amiga

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Pretty much the entire Castlevania : Symphony of the night soundtrack... It's all so good. And nostalgic too. One of my favorite games, and favorite soundtracks.

Others have mentioned kingdom hearts, donkey Kong country and Jet Set Radio Future which are some of my favorites, but another one I love is Maplestory. Great simplistic map BGMs that I still listen to quite often when studying or focusing

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

And now I've got the Henesys music playing in my head. Old MS was so fun back in the day. Mesos pls :'(

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So many great answers already, but one I don't think I've seen mentioned yet is the soundtrack for Bastion

90% of the Sonic Frontiers "Cyberspace" tracks are S tier. The best soundtrack in recent memory.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Halo is my top pick.

Goldrunner was also fantastic in its way.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Right now I'm going to have to go with a tie between Brok and Graff from Brok the Investigator and the legacy soundtrack piece After The Flames by Josh Woodward from SuperTuxKart.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Okami has a truly beautiful soundtrack, my favourites are the 'The Sun Rises' and The Eight Dog Warriors Theme'. Also Calamari Inkantation from Splatoon is fantastic.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Def hollow knight, I think it captures the essence of a long decaying kingdom perfectly.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

SNES Wild Guns final theme Song

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

  • Prince of Persia 3D
  • Grim Fandango
  • Descent
  • Skyrim
  • Far Cry 2

Some great ones:

Gyruss (arcade)

Bubble Bobble (arcade)

WipeOut 2097(XL) (psx - probably the best example of songs that compliment the gameplay)

Afterburner II (arcade - just one specific track called City 202, at time 15:34)

Edit: 2 more

720 ( arcade - blistering)

Rolling Thunder ( arcade - max funky )
