Let's do something different: What are your favorite video game OSTs?

I've accumulated a bunch of songs over the years that I put into my video game playlist and realized that I love a lot of soundtracks. From popular franchises, I love listening to Zelda music (even the BotW OST has A LOT of memorable gems) and Kingdom Hearts music.

Some other favorite series I have, in no particular order (along with attached songs I like from them):

Please feel free to share any that you are passionate about.

    Faster Than Light and Cave Story are two of my favourites. The music is always such an integral part of those games for me.

      I think Dark Souls 3's OST was a massive improvement over Dark Souls 1. While both were good the choruses in DS3 gripped me more. The first time I heard Vordt's theme sent shivers down my spine.

    I contend the Pokemon and Zelda series has some of the best OSTs. Less commonly known ones, I'd say the Civilization series (especially 4+), Scott Pilgrim, Hacknet / Silicon Zeroes / Shenzen I/O (they're all in the same category), Donkey Kong Country, the entire Command & Conquer series, and the Smash Bros series (which tbf is just a collection of good tracks from other games, but still, as a whole OST) are all really, really good. Video Game OSTs are my favorite genre and I tried to give some variety here, but I could list games all day if you want :D

        For Civilization V, I'd say Denmark, Polynesia, Ottomans, and Korea have the best war themes, while Indonesia, Shoshone, Mongolia, and especially China have the best peace themes. The whole soundtrack is beautifully orchestrated though, as is the background music for each general region of civilizations (which YouTube unfortunately doesn't have afaik). Highly recommend listening through if you're bored and want to try something new :D

        Edit: seems this got edited out by mistake, but it's really cool you've heard of the Scott Pilgrim soundtrack, few people seem to have and it really doesn't get enough love. I particularly like Maki ya and Rock Club, but the entire soundtrack is a home run :D

      Mick Gordon is an AMAZING music producer. I love the doom soundtrack and i do not even listen to metal. It is close to perfect.

      To make things even more clear why Mick Gordon might be the best music producer within the gaming industry currently is that he has such range. He also made much of the soundtrack for the new Prey. Which is a totally different setting, a space station to be exact for those unaware. And he nails that one to. Also a super good game ost.

    I have a special place in my heart for the Guild Wars soundtracks. Jeremy Soule is awesome - he did a lot of the Elder Scrolls stuff too iirc.

    Mine is definitely the first dark souls ost. It's been 3 years since my first time playing it but it keeps giving me goosebumps everytime I listen to it. And especially Gwyn's theme.

    In my opinion, the best OSTs come from two men: Koji Kondo (Mario series, Zelda series) and Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy series). I could easily be convinced that I only see those two composers as the greatest because of those game series' role in my life at a pivotal stage - puberty.

    Between Zelda's Lullaby, Rosalina's Observatory, Fisherman's Horizon, and the FFVII Theme, it's hard to pick a favorite game or OST.

    For me, there's something about the way the Japanese composers capture a singular emotion, so that as the player you're able to feel exactly what they want you to feel. I don't think other composers nail it so efficiently, even with broader sound palettes.

    I probably spend too much time listening to the Touhou OSTs. Not to mention the endless amount of fan-made variants.

    My favorite would have to be Journey. Such a good score and integral to the ambiance of the game. Civ 4 is a close second. I played thousands of hours and never turned of the in game music....

    Civ 4 is a close second. I played thousands of hours and never turned of the in game music. Usually it's off before I hit 100.

    Honourable mentions: Doom, Sword and Sorcery and FTL, actually I never turned of that soundtrack either.

    "Night in the Woods" and "Machinarium" both have lovely soundtracks.

    One that I haven't seen mentioned yet that might be a little less popular, but Golden Sun 1 and 2. Those games are masterworks and the soundtrack they pulled off with midi tracks are spectacular.
