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?

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

Definitely the best video game music is from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Stains of Time is my favorite.

Halo is my top pick.

Goldrunner was also fantastic in its way.

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.

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

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.

Wingspan. I have the Vinyl OST.

Monument Valley is quite nice too.

I still listen to the NSFU2 soundtrack today when I feel the need for a bit of hard hitting sound, with some variety.

[–] Eccitaze@yiffit.net 1 points 1 year ago

I'm going to go for a bit of a deeper cut and say Mad Rat Dead. They took a genre which relies so heavily on the strength of its music (rhythm platformer), and produced a soundtrack where literally every song is a banger, and produced some great emotional moments as well--the transition from Cottage House to Kind of Hope and Neuchatel still makes me choke up just thinking about it.

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

[–] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Not exactly answering the question, but hearing every generational rendition of Proof of a Hero throughout the Monster Hunter games still gives me the feels

[–] akito@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

For me definitively the soundtrack of Boneworks (which is also the best VR game I know). Especially its main theme ("Bone Theme") and "Who am I"

Some more awesome OSTs in no particular order: Minecraft, Banjo-Kazooie / Banjo Tooie, Witcher 3, Risk of Rain 2

Your reality is amazing

Skyrim was pretty epic… even the “wandering around” music was perfect.

But my #1 is Still Alive (closing theme song to Portal).

[–] babatazyah@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Haven't seen it mentioned, but, Spiritfarer

The theme song of Locoroco. Though the lyrics are in a made-up language, I can feel the desire for world peace in this song.
