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.

Ctrl + f, F, U, R, I.

Ok nevermind take me back Reddit I was wrong.

I don't expect to many people to have played it but Demon gaze has a soundtrack that just hits my adhd brain really nice, that and the 2nd game

Chorus is an underrated game with an amazing main theme

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.

Guild Wars 2

RuneScape of course

Nier Automata and FFXIV immediately spring to mind

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is surprisingly good. Surtur's theme is one of the best boss themes ive ever heard. I also really like using the Battle Brothers ost for my Pathfinder games.

The songs from the first Life is Strange just hit different. Paradise Killer OSTs are also bangers

Child of Light, Hades, Bastion, Icewind Dale, Dragon Age (any of them really), Heroes of Might and Magic 3-5, Dead Cells, Endless Legend, Pillars of Eternity, Pokemon Violet. Also Warframe, especially from The Second Dream and further period.

I think my absolute favorite that I haven't seen here is Gris. This game is absolutely beautiful as is the OST.

In the beginning it was Day of the Tentacle and Transport Tycoon. For the longest time it was Red Dead Redemption 1 and then 2.

Then suddenly Desperados III came along and is so far winning.

• Digital devil saga: The tracks brings me to a very cozy dystopian
• Mega man zero 2: The sound track of the opening stage is just so damn good
• Ghost trick: Can't wait for the new arranged version for the remake

The Trine series is an underappreciated masterpiece. I've never heard so many waltzes in a game before.

Genshin Impact's soundtrack is also gorgeous.

That one single song that played on the load screen of Boiling Point - Road to Hell. It was incredibly good and I still listen to it from time to time. Boiling Point Road to Hell Main Theme

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 just has to be Undertale. I constantly keep coming back to it. Deltarune is nice too but the Undertale OST is just so good.

Gonna have to say this in no specific order because it's too hard to pick true favorites:

-Assassin's Creed 2

-Xenoblade Chronicles

-Pizza Tower

-Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword (or... any Zelda game but damn Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess are so damn memorable)

-Metal Slug 5

-Yakuza 0

And a lot more that I'm spacing right now.

Edit: BLASPHEMOUS!! That game has a beautiful, haunting soundtrack.

Decent 2, is the soundtrack I keep coming back to.

I never get tired of it. i just wish the tracks were longer. :)

Star Ocean 3, Yakuza: Like a Dragon

Ape Escape 3 holds a special place in my heart.

Star Control 2. 4 musicians contributed without collaborating directly, resulting in many creative alien races having unique and memorable theme music.
