I know you probably love a dozen tracks, please pick one, thank you in advance.

EDIT: Thank you all so far, especially everyone who kept it to one. I am at work currently and will make my way through the list but may not get a chance to thank you individually. I am checking them all out though and appreciating it.

I like Life is Strange 1's sound track tbh. Tony Hawk and Grand Theft Auto and Pokemon and Mario all have some excellent music too.

edit: Wow, I forgot a word, and it completely changed the meaning of my sentence lol

The album this track is on is amazing as a whole. It's like a musical journey around the world. It's a beautifully cohesive album start to finish.

The Spine - Transistor OST.

There's 3 versions, though... The soundtrack version with lyrics, the game instrumental, and the humming version.

Most of the tracks in the game have at least 2 versions, music is kind of a central theme of the story.

If you like chiptunes, "the moon" from DuckTales does a great job at instilling a sense of adventure. If chiptunes aren't your thing, here's an orchestral version

The whole soundtrack is good, but:

Counterattack from Xenoblade Chronicles 2

I especially love the way it subverts the rhythm and modulates the key going into the final refrain around 3:45.

Slinger's Song - from the game Bastion

I heard this song first on this Sauerbraten race-vid, I haven't played the original Bastion game.

[โ€“] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago

Bastion has a slew of great soundtracks and environments, and I found the story very impactful. Highly recommend trying the game if you can!

[โ€“] ignism@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

The complete OST has to be my go to music for when I need that extra push. Such bangers.

My Only Chance - The Toxic Avenger https://youtu.be/SeAAi7jWOl8

It's a fucking hard call though because there are a lot of great picks out there - Doom does amazing metal and Hotline Miami has a legendarily good soundtrack... but Furi takes the cake for me personally.

Halo 2 OST - Impend

If you want the version with a little more oomph, there's a remaster version. I listen to this for coding.

[โ€“] DeadNinja@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

I might come across as an obsolete dinosaur (which I probably am) - but I really enjoyed the tracks from Hitman game series, especially Exploration from Hitman 2 : Silent Assasin, and then became a fan of anything composed by Jesper Kyd.

Batman (NES) โ€“ Streets of Desolation

Sega version is good too, just different

[โ€“] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago

P.T. Adamczyk - The Rebel Path from CP2077. Just really dark, and hype at the same time.

I wrote most of my Bachelor's thesis and parts of my Master's thesis to nothing but Watch the Skies from Skyrim on loop.
