Metroid Prime. The ambient electronic soundtrack fits the atmosphere of the game perfectly and is a GREAT listen just on its own.

[stellanovas 467]

Pokemon soundtracks for the nostalgia (specifically Ruby/Sapphire, Alpha/Omega, Diamond/Pearl) & Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy.

[ZachBoardyHD 506]

Beyond Two Souls ❤

[iGGTheEnd 1,361]

Nier Automata nothing else even comes close.

[ResoluteRock 1,873]

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 ) and the music that accompanied it helped to establish that peaceful tone.

[Seasonreaper 149]

Many. A good chunk of my music collection is VGM. The ones that always come to mind and get a lot of playtime are these:

 

Silent Hill 2, 3 and 4 by Akira Yamaoka

Risk of Rain by Chris Christodolou

Persona 3, 4 and 5 by Shoji Meguro

NieR, NieR:Automata and Drakengard 3 by Keiichi Okabe

FFXIV by Masayoshi Soken

Hollow Knight by Christopher Larkin

Hotline Miami 1 and 2 by Various Artists (Perturbator, Carpenter Brut, Scattle, Mega Drive probably being my favourites)

Child of Light by Cœur de pirate

DOOM (2016) by Mick Gordon

Unreal Tournament by Alexander Brandon and Michiel van den Bos

Mechwarrior 2 by Gregory Alper and Jeehun Hwang

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance by Jamie Christopherson

Gravity Rush 1 and 2 by Kohei Tanaka

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

Bastion by Darren Korb

Bloodborne by honestly too many people to name

Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Isaac by Danny Baronowsky

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.

[RachelCharlotte 146]

There are so many, but since most of them have already been mentioned by others I will just add these: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles has a soundtrack that perfectly captures the sense of adventure and going into the wild. And Trine as well as Trine 2 are similarly beautiful.

[sasu_naru 349]

for me it's:

 

NieR

& NieR Automata 

Persona 5

Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth  

Gravity Rush 1 & 2

[Dreakon13 2,882]

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.

Mafia III FTW

[CODSLAYER93 3]

Dishonored- Honor For All

[ZitMeatloaf 1,495]

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.

Oh, and this is totally cheating and not what you're looking for, but I'm gonna add Guitar Hero: Metallica. Because it's the best Guitar Hero and playing their songs is awesome.

[Gisquared09 164]

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. 

[CQC93 87]

 

 

 

 

 

 

My top 5 in gaming, Umineko's album as a whole is the best in the industry.. there's so much emotions put into those tracks, can't get bored of them

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.

[dannyswfc9 1,489]

Sonic forces as a great soundtrack

[TheDarkBlade9 155]

Deus Ex and Mass Effect

[W571WE 227]

Vampyr

Detroit Become Human

Days Gone

Marvels spider-man

The Evil Within

To name a few.

[The_Raltos 13]

Nier:Automata

Undertale
Final Fantasy 7 (both the remake and the original)

[Eyjabria 1,245]

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!
