A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

No memes please.

Dear patient lemmings, I am in need of your help. I'm searching for games that have some GOD DAAMN OSTs and come with a great story or/and gameplay.

Games that tick these requirements for me:

  • Danganronpa 1/2/V3 + Ultra Despair Girls (most recently finished)
  • Persona 4/5 (waiting for Persona 3 remaster)
  • NFS Most Wanted (2005, 2012), Carbon, ProStreet
  • Doom 2016, Eternal
  • Test Drive Unlimited 2
  • Life is Strange
  • Ace Combat 7
  • Omori
  • ULTRAKILL

Earthbound and Mother 3 could be exactly what you're looking for. There's just nothing quite like them OST, story, and gameplay wise.

Little Nightmares and Little Nightmares 2 also have excellent music that perfectly complement their soul-squeezing visuals and gameplay.

Portal 2 has very little music but it is GOOD, and perfectly timed to key moments in the story. Also top notch unique gameplay, obvs.

Skyrim music is iconic for a reason.

OFF's music is similarly iconic and its story and visuals so unique and engaging you'll likely forgive it for being unapologetically RPG-maker. The latest English translation (3.0) is considered the most faithful to the original French.

FRACT OSC is a "musical exploration game" where you directly influence the soundtrack by interacting with a beautiful, surreal puzzle landscape with Tron-like visuals.

Library of Ruina went nuts with its osts

One time they even patched the game just to buff a boss's music, not even the boss itself

For those who are already LoZ fans, Cadence of Hyrule will get your toes tapping for sure.

The Sam & Max games by Telltale have an absolute banger jazz soundtrack

[–] SuiXi3D@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Sea of Stars had some really catchy tunes.

How did you feel about Celeste? It felt pretty hard for me on the first level already. Might pick back up then!

[–] araknyd@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Tough game, but the learning curve isn't too bad. Keep trying and you'll do it 💪

[–] OmegaMouse@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Celeste is hard, but so rewarding! And the OST is stunning

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

As a 196 regular, it would be a sin not to finish it.

You will love MAX PAYNE 3. Badass shootouts inspired by John Woo action films, eargasmic soundtrack composed by legendary noise band HEALTH and some of the best acting seen in story-driven video games.

Sonic games usually have great music but Sonic Mania in particular is full of bangers, highly recommend it.
Undertale's soundtrack has been memed to death but it's honestly really good.
If you're still in the mood for visual novels the Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney games have some incredible soundtracks too.
Also, for something slower, I must give a shout out to The Sims 1. It's suave as hell and very, very catchy.

I absolutely loved Pokemon USUM‘s OST and was heartbroken when I found out the OST release was just like 1 minute long tracks that you couldn‘t easily loop (obviously it looped infinitely ingame)

I don't see this mentioned enough, but persona 5 (specifically recommend persona 5 Royal) has a really great OST. As you play the game you unlock better versions of the same tracks, including vocals. It's actually really jazzy, and quite catchy! The wife and i will jam to the vocal tracks on road trips.

The game is also very good, with an interesting story! It's kinda weird in a fun way! It's like.. a pokemon-esque turn based jrpg with some like real world maintenance aspects (relationships, work a job, go to school), with great music

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah I really loved Persona 5. It really stands out as an unique an catchy game.

[–] stagen@feddit.dk 2 points 2 years ago

Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers has an absolutely banger of a soundtrack.

Kingdom Hearts soundtracks always slap

Incredibile Crisis, on PS1.

Admittedly the story is a bit thin… the game play is purposefully enraging… but it gets a big ol’double check mark on the OST requirement thanks to the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra.

On a totally different note and tone, Last of Us. I dig anything Gustavo Santaolalla.
