VIDEO GAME MUSIC - Any Favorites/Recommendations?

Kind of surprised I never saw a thread for this. I know a few of you guys are gamers, and video game music is unironically the music I listen to most. It often is what gets me into genres or styles that I would never have listened to otherwise, whether its background music or something I got out of my way to listen to. So, this thread is designed to post some of your favorite tracks from a game, preferably with a link to it. Doesn't matter if its new or old, loud, calming, covers, whatever. What're you into?

I'll start:

-Xenoblade Chronicles: My favorite game and the music across the whole series is incredible. I mean, you got Yasunori Mitsuda and Yoko Shimomura on board, but the less well-known composers frequently steal the show.

For example, the most iconic song in the series by ACE+, You Will Know Our Names, a miniboss theme!

Here's some extra ones:
-Engage the Enemy, when shit goes down in the story, for good and ill:
-Aurora Shelf (Day), from the third game. Hype area theme:
-Time to Fight! (Bionis Shoulder), you like jazz?:
-Auresco (Day), from the second game. Had this on repeat to get through college finals during COVID. Bliss:

I have plenty more to recommend, but let's start with this.

My favorite video game music of all time is Hotline Miami 1 & 2.


My second-favorite is much less well known, Shatter:

The original 90's Wipeout soundtrack still sounds like it was plucked from the future:



As a kid, I was obsessed with finding music that sounded like the first Thief game. I never did, but the OST still slaps.



Bastion's soundtrack gets a lot of mileage on game nights, too:

Doom and Doom 2 soundtrack rebuilds:

Anyone here like nutty prog music? Listen to Risk of Rain 2 and Chris Christodoulou's body of work.

-The Rain Formerly Known as Purple: Probably the game's most iconic theme.


-Once in a Lullaby: A random stage theme 2 shouldn't be this good!


-The Face of the Deep: The dlc's final boss theme. Nutty.


-They Might As Well Be Dead: Main theme for the dlc.

Hands down, Space Marine OST.




With this Payday 2 track coming a close second.

This is all I hear these days. Even at work. In my head.
