Best Video Game Soundtracks (Share Yours!)

Hello Community,

 

I wanna start a fun thread where people can share their favorite songs from video games. In my opinion, great music in video games can transform your experience into something magical, memorable, and unforgettable.

 

Feel free to share yours too and have fun!

 

My choices:

 

1. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

With the lively characters and environments, this song made me feel immerse while roaming the game world.

2. Final Fantasy VIII

A truly classic Final Fantasy music. Brilliant, beautiful, immersing, and pleasing to ear and soul.

3. Life is Strange: Before The Storm

Instrumental only but somehow emotional and immerse you into the game.

I definitely agree with the mention of Abzu's music earlier in this thread -- it's so good.

 

Mass Effect 2 remains one of my favorite games of all time and it also has a fantastic soundtrack. Just going to leave that here: https://open.spotify.com/album/2G19I23CbULYoPBDGNxL9k

 

Also, Cuphead's soundtrack is awesome. Very thematic to the game and rather unexpected! https://open.spotify.com/album/3jQ7eqotwovipeZ3j3rMqu

 

Finally, another soundtrack worth checking out is Celeste. I think it does a good job of blending modern with a more classic "video game" sound: https://open.spotify.com/album/5OZHQ7KG8k04IOkF50fACO

There are only a handful of games that I have played and actually payed attention to the music they add (I usually mute/play my own music anyway...but here are some greats that I've found!)

@StereochromaticI absolutely agree with Mass Effect 2. Amazing game with amazing soundtracks.

 

@CourtneyM17Thanks for sharing! Racing games is not really my cup of tea but I wouldn't mind giving them a try though.

I think without a doubt the Skyrim OST is the best.

The music in Skyrim is amazing!!  It is such an integral part of the game's atmosphere.

Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain has lots of cool music from the 80's!

Here’s my favorite song from the soundtrack to the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 computer game that I used to play as a kid:

  • Hands down Final Fantasy X

I don't play FF. I discovered it some time ago through my brother who plays with ithttps://open.spotify.com/track/0WIAZIziAzAC52iyuZELn1?si=_-3UnUyYToSyZVpszy_GCg 

Played them all. This is from f4f 8 my favorite of them all 😊

I got so excited I forgot to tell you.i followed 🔥

I just finished playing Yakuza: Like A Dragon and the song at the end credits is amazing.

I’ve been playing Final Fantasy VII lately, and the soundtrack really is something.  Here’s my list of favorites:

 

https://open.spotify.com/track/5y9ZvN7dBZKayclpwXZyAS.small

I swear I can still see the train pulling into the station and Cloud jumping off.

 

https://open.spotify.com/track/7CRPYNf9tVLXCx75TBGNSV.small

The industrial sounds just add to the mood of the game.

 

https://open.spotify.com/track/4NUAOpkgWS4cYQ4bPzyYg0.small

I enjoy how funny this one sounds.  Like it’s giving you a little hope in a desperate situation.

 

https://open.spotify.com/track/3ay4HNmCII9soFmSqcuDCu.small

I like how it starts out miserable but then goes soothing and wistful.

 

https://open.spotify.com/track/7EyrJ4OETpMPZIw1UtOHTz.small

Of all the songs, I think this one captures the spirit of FFVII the most.

 

https://open.spotify.com/track/5X2JYrON4QEm3CzIwUPRfQ.small

This one plays inside of Fort Condor.  It would’ve been good for a character theme too.

 

https://open.spotify.com/track/5hYuUNwXWhBh0QANzt216j.small

I just love how barebones yet tense this one is.

 

https://open.spotify.com/track/02hiFgacAzz7zGl5EF53eo.small

And, of course, who can’t forget one of the most epic final boss themes in videogame history:

I just finished playing Death Stranding. It has amazing soundtracks especially by Low Roar and Silent Poets.

 

https://open.spotify.com/album/1H5k5QgsFjnMPzlXfWq8QH?si=-ZJJKpe4T3eY6LIEHdwSKw

I have some favorites!

I really love the Undertale OST, it's really well crafted.

https://open.spotify.com/album/2M2Ae2SvZe3fmzUtlVOV5Z?si=pstyLhXrS7G4EzO8jXI3ZQ

There's also the Hollow Knight OST which is absolutely beautiful.

https://open.spotify.com/album/4XgGOMRY7H4hl6OQi5wb2Z?si=o9o5_NQrSMuukqeUPi5YIg

The Celeste OST is also such an amazing OST and I highly suggest you check it out. 

https://open.spotify.com/album/1ZfETfec0U02KrKNI8w3Gf?si=ZDwPgApaQtGN52SqHRxHdg

And for my last favorite, Oneshot is such an amazing, underrated, game with such a beautiful atmospheric soundtrack to go with it.
