Half Life 2: Path of Borealis is fantastic!

 

I remember really liking the music from RiME. That game was overall really enjoyable. It was a nice, quiet, peaceful change of pace (minus the bird level :shakefist:) and the music that accompanied it helped to establish that peaceful tone.

NieR, NieR:Automata and Drakengard 3 by Keiichi Okabe

Unreal Tournament by Alexander Brandon and Michiel van den Bos

Mechwarrior 2 by Gregory Alper and Jeehun Hwang

Gravity Rush 1 and 2 by Kohei Tanaka

Plants vs Zombies and numerous other insert songs from other games by Laura Shigihara

Pretty much every Touhou game by ZUN, but especially Mountain of Faith, Subterranean Animism, Undefined Fantastic Object and Double Dealing Character

 

Plus numerous others. So much good music out there.

I think Unravel might be the only soundtrack I've ever bought.  I used to put it on before bed (plucking a few songs out that were a bit too uptempo) and/or occasionally listen to it while working.  Very pretty, soothing.

 

 

 

 

 

Celeste is another winner.  I didn't actually purchase this soundtrack, but I like it a lot.  Coincidentally, my favorite tunes from Unravel and Celeste both have the same song name. xD

Five favorites off the top of my head:

 

Pyre - best vg soundtrack I've heard in a long time. I hear Bastion and Transistor are great as well, haven't played those yet.

Final Fantasy X - all the FF soundtracks are great, but this one's my favorite. The Hymns of the Fayth are hauntingly beautiful. FFVII is a close second, looking forward to the remake soundtrack.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - same as FF, all the soundtracks are great. I have a Japanese import orchestral version which is fantastic.

Rayman Legends - The music levels are genius (Mariachi "Eye of the Tiger" is my favorite).

Journey - all beautiful, the sand sliding level is my favorite, closely followed by the final sky level.

Heavy Rain-Such a good original score, movie like quality in my opinion. 

Metal Gear Solid series, especially 4

Assassins Creed II and brotherhood 

GTA IV 

Infamous 1 and 2 

Mafia II and III

Max Payne 3

Skyrim

Red Dead Redemption II 

Uncharted 4 

 

Looking at this list it seems older games tended to have soundtracks that stood out to me more. Maybe it’s nostalgia playing a role in me picking these games.

I'm seeing a lot of glowing feedback about Cadence of Hyrule and its soundtrack in particular. Has anybody played it?

 

I've never played Crypt of the Necrodancer, so Cadence of Hyrule didn't look very interesting to me when it was first announced, but now I kind of want to give it a try.

I love listening to videogame music and I've bought multiple original soundtracks and also some fan made albums. 

My top favorite game soundtracks are probably 

  • Megaman 2 (NES) - The melodies still hold up to this day and go head to head with music produced for modern consoles / PC 
  • Chrono Cross (PlayStation) - I've never even played the game, yet I think it's easily among the best game soundtracks I've listened to 
  • Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (Switch) - Masterful composing, enhances the game to new heights, Gormott theme is especially amazing 
  • The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64) - Legendary pieces, these are again songs that stand on their own and you don't have to play the game to enjoy them 
  • The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (PC, PS3, Xbox 360, PS4, Xbox One, Switch) - The mellow sounds fit the environments and feel of the game nicely, beautiful 
  • Fire Emblem: Awakening (3DS) - I really enjoyed this one, nice combination of lighter and more serious pieces, though I love the game very much as well 
  • Ragnarok Online (PC) - Very refreshing non-traditional videogame music of varying genres 
  • Persona 4 Golden (Vita) - This falls under the non-traditional category as well, the soundtrack works really well both in the game and alone 
  • Persona 5 (PS3, PS4) - Again some more unique compositions with distinct style and skillful creation of mood, the quality is high and even throughout the whole soundtrack (except the Mementos music is terrible!) 

So many great soundtracks it's hard to pick. There are of course legendary melodies in games like Super Mario and Pokémon that everyone seems to recognize but very often soundtracks have only one or two exceptional pieces.

I played Cadence of Hyrule to 100% completion and really enjoyed my time with it. It's the perfect length IMO, looks really polished, the rhythm-based gameplay is fun and the soundtrack is of course the main draw of the game. Skillful remixes of epic Zelda tunes. 

P.S. If you enjoy Zelda music, I recommend violin cover albums by Taylor Davis. She does other videogame music as well and they are quite incredible. Such skill!
