Ever since I played Chrono Trigger I've had Peaceful days as my ringtone. https://youtu.be/wYp_UsDzgxM still like the song.

Nier Automata still is in my rotation.

Nothing like having an existential crisis when "City Ruins" or

comes on while I'm on my way to work

Hyper Light Drifter

Marble Master

A hot take then?

I refuse to buy Satisfactory until Sanctum 3 comes out as my personal protest to how long it's been taking, maybe I'm just being too stubborn tho lol. But it's been 13 years...

You kids these days with your video game music! ...You're alright.

[my zoomer sons have gotten me addicted some of the game music the good folks mention here.]

Straftat has some really good ambient jungle as soundtrack. Actually just bought it today on bandcamp lol

Also the doom (2016) soundtrack is just exceptional

Hellooo Allison!

Portal 2!

This mf hasn't listened to Destiny 2's "Journey" and it shows

FZero GX and Cel Damage soundtracks are way better than they have any right to be.

Check out the Loop Hero soundtrack, it's such a banger

Some of y'all have never played any GOOD EA games, and it shows.

I can never get the slang right it seems

Its not that different from movie sound tracks.

Did not find it in the comments til now: The Metal Hellsinger Soundtrack is great.

Transistor's main character is a singer and the soundtrack is basically meant to be her songs. There are several with lyrics too that really are just songs and not backgrounds to the game.

I couldn't remember who owned it when it came out..... Now I'm questioning if the Need for Speed franchise was made by EA or slowly ruined by them.....

The Bloodborne OST is a masterpiece.

2 Mello is so good. I go through their whole discog once in a while and struggle to find a track that isn't excellent

To be fair the term has been overused recently, often in the wrong context. Some people post "hot take" when it's the least controversial, blatantly obvious take, so I can see how you might think it was the other way around.

I dunno.... That's definitely a banger. https://youtu.be/-rMPAjH5vzE

But Fierce Battle... https://youtu.be/FqvQ-rfucyc that part at 0:40 is pure frisson. There's a version in 5 and 6. Different compositions though. I like the FF6 version better.

Nobuo loves metal. 🤘

Warframe and Atomic Heart both have killer sound tracks!

Been hooked on God of War Ragnarok soundtrack since I finished the DLC a week ago, it’s amazing

C418

i have it on vinyl...

Persona 5

Me too

Almost the entirety of my physical music collection is game soundtracks. I like to put them on while working or doing chores. It's more relaxing than regular music for me.

Yeah I do 🤘

Chris Vrenna of Nine Inch Nails did the soundtrack for American McGee's Alice, and it is amazing!

It's my focus music.

No of course not. I'm a geek but I have standards.

I listen to the Disco Elysium soundtrack by Sea Power consistently. It's such a great album in its own right.

Oblivion

Skyrim

Minecraft is chef's kiss.

And I've always thought listening to movie soundtracks is weird too.

Nine Inch Nails did the soundtrack to Quake... And I still have that in my music collection

I remember in high school I was starting to get into music. "Classic rock" from my parents, metal from my cousins, pop punk from other places. Nothing too esoteric. When I was talking about music one day, one of my friends was like "You wanna see my music collection??" I went sure, and he opened it up. All video game soundtracks. Final Fantasy, mostly.

I'm sorry to say that was a young teenager I was a shit and made fun. I wouldn't do that now, but I still feel a little bad about it. I very rarely would pick a video game soundtrack to listen to, but it's such a harmless joy I should've been nicer.

They've been pretty good lately

This person clearly never listened to the Halo soundtracks (specifically Martin O'Donnell's for Halo CE through Reach)

Bro you like Super Monkey Ball? I knew I liked you man, bring it in

I played my mom some jazzy ocarina of time covers. She had no idea what she was listening to and she loved it.

Plus bit brigade's mega man 2 album is sick. Mom didn't like that though.

Deltarune

Surprised anything by Supergiant Games isn't mentioned here, their soundtracks rock! Bastion and Hades really come to mind.

I just really enjoy Persona’s soundtracks, okay?! They won an award for it ya know! ;-P

rainwave.cc pretty much every day for the last 3 decades

My brother really hasn't listened to the music of our lord Mick Gordon's DOOM & DOOM ETERNAL

Monochroma had a really good soundtrack by Gevende.
