Patient Gamers

Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Lunar SSSC, Final Fantasy, Wild ARMs

Is 2016 old enough now?
The DOOM 2016 soundtrack fucking rips.

Let's try and keep it below ~~10~~ 11 entries:

• Disco Elysium
• Outer Wilds
• Hollow Knight
• Shadow of the Colossus + Ico
• Pyre (+all other Supergiant games)
• Valkyrie Profile
• Banner Saga trilogy
• Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
• Chrono Trigger + Cross
• Eastshade

Honestly nowadays so many games have great soundtracks, it is a joy to behold! Makes it harder to chose favorites though...

Bastion, Beyond Good & Evil, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, Mirror's Edge.

and Hades, although I refuse to call it a "patient gamer" game

All of Persona OSTs, if i had to pick one it would be 5, but all of them have songs on my playlist that i hear to this day.

I also love Devil May Cry OSTs, i heard bury the light on repeat for months

• Halo Combat Evolved
• Mirror's Edge
• Sim City 3000
• The Sims
• The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time
• Fez
• Flatout 2
• Jet Set Radio
• Sword and Sorcery LP

Nier Automata. The entire discograpy

• Chrono Trigger
• Undertale/Deltarune
• The World Ends With You
• Jet Set Radio
• Them's Fightin' Herds
• F-Zero GX
• VVVVVV
• CrossCode
• Crypt of the Necrodancer
• Shatter

FTL

Bungie-era Halo has the best OST in the industry hands down, though recently Lunacid let me hear some certified bangers; someone here mentioned B:G&E, and I second that opinion although I wouldn't have thought of it myself.

My top four haven't changed in a while:

• Chrono Cross
• Nier Gestalt/Replicant (original version)
• Persona 5
• The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

I love EDM, so any game that uses it or is inspired by it holds a special place in my heart, like Streets of Rage, Rez, Dance Dance Revolution, or the Trails of Cold Steel games (especially the second one).

Minecraft (incl. Wynncraft)

Journey

Witcher 3: Lelelelele

Ones I haven't seen in this thread yet:

Cuphead, Cave Story, Celeste, Dredge, Furi, Katamari Damacy (and others in the series), Peggle, Super Mario Galaxy

A lot of great choices already: Persona 5, Hades, Katamari Damacy.

A kind of odd left-field one I'd like to add specifically for great music in-game, is Guacamelee 2. I don't know that it's the kind of music I'm likely to put on just to listen to randomly, but as far as in-game atmospheric music goes I think it's both tremendous and refreshingly unique amongst the landscape of video game music.

Homeworld and Hotline Miami are my two favorites!

I'll skip the obvious ones with multiple artists like Furi, Katana Zero, Hotline Miami, Crypt of the Necrodancer...

Chrono Trigger

Katamari Damacy!

Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is a close 2nd Edit: almost forgot about FEZ!

Final Fantasy VI, so much so that when OverClocked Remix kick started a remix album, I donated to it

Ace Combat, all of them but especially the PS2 Holy Trinity.

Shadow of the Colossus.

NFSU2, Most Wanted and Burnout 3, even if theyre licensed music and not really original.

Doom midis in general are fun. Touhou games too.

Golden Sun GBA soundtrack. Also there are some really nice remixes of the fan community. The game is from 2001 but can be played with Nintendo Switch online subscription. As well as the second game (they are basically one game).

Deus Ex and System Shock 2

To The Moon

I have played that game five times (so I could share the experience with other people) and have broken down into tears at the end every time.

Metroid Prime

Halo Reach, hands down. Phenomenal, all the feels

Sly cooper 1, crash twinsanity, Witcher 3, Banjo-Kazooie, Hi-Fi Rush, Nier Automata

How has nobody mentioned Rimworld? Such an incredible soundtrack!

secret tip: Fez
