The old Deus Ex and Endless Space are the ones I listen to the most.
Nier Automata, Cyberpunk, System Shock 2, GTA Vice City, Doom 2016 (I cannot listen to Eternals soundtrack knowing how Mick Gordon got ripped off there)
- FTL Multiverse (Kix et. al.)
- Touhou
- Supergiant Games
- Blue Archive
- Minecraft
Sly cooper 1, crash twinsanity, Witcher 3, Banjo-Kazooie, Hi-Fi Rush, Nier Automata
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2
I listen to Stellaris OST a lot these days. Turns out that good music to plan galactic domination is also good music to design and build software.
Don’t really play the game much anymore though. That was one of my main pandemic games.
The Neverhood
Evvra bohda waaaayyyyooooo
Hard pick because I listen to a game or series for a while, then another. Just today I went and listened to a lot of Sonic tracks, which I do once every few months. I guess Atlus games (SMT, Persona, EO), Metal Gear Rising, Ace Attorney, TWEWY are in the lead off the top of my head, but after a month I might give a different answer. My relaxing music playlist is mostly the official classical arrangements of Etrian Odyssey 1+2, so let’s go with that.
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.
- Rome Total War
- Anno 1602
- Stronghold
I suspect I’m driven by nostalgia and by literally hundreds of hours of repeat exposure.
All you young’uns and your fancy moderns music.
Nothing beats Gone Jackals songs in Full Throttle.
Unreal Tournament 2004 is my favorite OST by number of tracks that I love. It has several absolute banger tracks, like Morpheus3, Hyperblast-Redux, Convoy, Atlantis and Level11. I often keep a number of those tracks on my playlists.
Although I don’t like the game itself much (I suck at it), Cloudbuilt also has some awesome tracks, my personal favorite is Aurora. The guitar chords at the apex is just heavenly.
Rebel Galaxy has some very nice stuff to feel like a 'merican space cowboy, it’s mostly licensed music as far as i can tell.
Assault Android Cactus usually gets your blood pumping hard, which is great because the game is a pretty fun twin-stick arena. The tracks Assault and Licorice are just 👨🍳😙👌
… Come to think of it, looking at my list, I’m a real sucker for sci-fi OSTs, huh. I do want to make honorable mentions to Mass Effect (mostly 2), Skyrim and Smash Bros. Ultimate
