I’ve been looking for some more instrumental music to listen to while working, besides putting FF and Stardew on loop.

Help and suggestions
XCOM 2 Legacy Soundtrack. Some darned good beats on there.
Civilization Beyond Earth and Battletech have marvelous soundtracks
Elite Dangerous, both original OST and Odyssey (for the planetside background music)
If you like metal… the tracks from 2004 Painkiller rocks.
Chrono Trigger was fantastic. Look specifically for the instrumentals/orchestral on YouTube. 🤙
Thanks for commenting this so I didn’t have to!
Terraria.
Mass Effect 2 and 3 might have what you’re looking for.
Baldur’s Gate 3 as well.
Rimworld has an amazing soundtrack
Thanks for the recommendation. Listening now. I’m a few tracks in. Gorgeous so far.
Surprised to not see FTL mentioned yet.
I’m loving the track Balatro has too. I wish that game had more music like the one song it has.
Stellaris is great sci-fi future ambient music to focus to.
Stellaris has a fine soundtrack, but I found myself vibing way more playing it with FlyByNo’s soundtrack for Endless Space. Endless Space didn’t have the staying power with me that Stellaris did but that soundtrack is * chef’s kiss * .
oh man i have a spotify folder full of playlists, including
talos principle
sherlock holmes chapter one
deadbolt
murder by numbers
baldurs gate 3
witcher 3
but it’s missing metroid prime (esp. chozo ruins and phendrana drifts) and professor layton (any of the puzzle themes).
I’ve been playing so many soundtracks for my background music at work. Of course, nostalgia makes some songs slap harder than they deserve to, so your results may vary, but some of my favorites have been:
Mega Man series
Warcraft (I’m especially fond of Warcraft 2 songs)
Donkey Kong Country series
Variety lists (one hit wonders from games you nearly forgot)
Spotify has a lot of video game playlists, and even some covers in different styles. Right now we’re listening to metal versions of classic games.
Total Annihilation
Transistor
Personally I prefer Bastion soundtrack over Transistor but both a good.
starfield the game is divisive to say the least, but i cant imagine anyone would talk bad about the soundtrack. inon zur’s best work so far, and the death metal songs in there are fucking awesome too
