TUNIC, FEZ, Nier Automata, Outer Wilds.

I also have a soft spot for Paper Mario and TTYD, those soundtracks are full of bops

Outer Wilds. Yeah it’s one of the greatest games ever made, but would it be so good without that soundtrack? Debatable.

I petitioned to play something from it at my actual wedding (sadly was overruled), and I know I’m not the only one.

Ori and the Blind Forest’s ost is phenomenal.

I think all of the Supergiant Games have great soundtrack. Transistor was what got me into their games, and it was the soundtrack that caught my attention first.

probably Doom Eternal. Just tuned to perfection.

All-timer has to go to Chrono Trigger. Absolutely incredible soundtrack from start to finish.

Oh gosh where do I even start. I have a massive list of VGM soundtracks that I listen to but if I had to pick some favs currently:

• Gran Turismo 5/6 - been playing these games recently through the PS3 emulator and the vibe and feel these games go for is so much more amplified with the soundtrack, lots of chill jazz and downtempo music mixed with other genres like Dance and Rock.
• Pokémon (really any of them) - I’ve always loved the Pokémon soundtrack in all the mainline games, my favourite games in the series are HGSS so probably that soundtrack if I had to pick one.
• A Hat in Time - Soundtrack is so fun and upbeat, really regret buying this game on 2 separate platforms and then not playing through either of them.
• Celeste - Trans girl climbs gay mountain simulator with Lena Raine’s simply amazing piano and synth soundtrack is so damn good I can’t give it enough praise <3 (also all her other work on games like Minecraft and Chicory is super good too!)

Final Fantasy VIII holds a special place in my heart for sure.

All the soundtracks Darren Korb makes for Supergiant. Hades resonates more with me as it’s the one I’ve played the most, but I’m also a huge fan of Transistor’s.

OST’s are my JAM!

Ori is a classic. - It’s equal parts haunting and jubilant.

Death Stranding - Don’t be so serious. Every song is a masterpiece.

Overwatch - It’s just good fun

Witcher 3 - hey lele lelele lele lele ley!

Cyberpunk - Dark, broody, and invigorating

Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2 - Absolute fantasy. If you want a VGM OST to plan your d&d session to, this is a great option

Red Dead Redemption 2 - Maybe it’s partly because Arthur Morgan’s story is so incredible but this soundtrack gives me the shivers. “May I stand unshaken… Amid, amidst a crash of the world?” omggg give it to me D’Angelo

There’s tons more I’m missing here. But these ones stand out to me.
