A gaming community 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.

Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Lunar SSSC, Final Fantasy, Wild ARMs
Is 2016 old enough now?
The DOOM 2016 soundtrack fucking rips.
And tears
Until it is done
it’s been almost a decade. def old enough imo.
Idk, the jury is still out on that one… :)
Original DOOM!
NEDM
This immediately brought me back to the YTMND era. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVBalxt3NEU
My DUUUDE hahahaha
Ash of the Gods and Pilgrims
The Last of Us 1 & 2, all the Katamari games, Death Stranding
Let’s try and keep it below
1011 entries:Honestly nowadays so many games have great soundtracks, it is a joy to behold! Makes it harder to chose favorites though…
Really good list. I wanna add stardew valley and Nier automata aswell.
Als I’m gonna check out valkyrie profile tomorrow, I’ve never heard of that game.
Hollow Knight is pure art
OOT has such incredibly nostalgic music for me.
We’re on the same page as far as Mirrors EdgeI The Sims and SC3 goes, so I’ll trust your taste and listen to the other ones aswell. I’d want to add Portal 2 and Team Fortress 2 aswell.
I’ll skip the obvious ones with multiple artists like Furi, Katana Zero, Hotline Miami, Crypt of the Necrodancer…
Remember Me (2013) composed by Olivier Derivière
Warhammer 40k: Mechanicus (2018) composed by Guillaume David
Bastion (2011) composed by Darren Korb (anything by Darren Korb)
Styx: Master of Shadows (2014) composed by H-Pi
140 (2013) composed by Jakob Schmid
Those are also among my favorites. Also the Title Theme to Anno 1404: When Cultures Meet and the Beyond Good and Evil Soundtrack.
Also a great theme is used all over Tilo Alpermann’s - The Night Of The Rabbit OST
The Transistor soundtrack for me is a masterpiece, still come back to it once in a while.
Pyre as well was super immersive, actually I enjoyed the game way more than Hades, but that’s because I was already burnt out of Rogue Likes when it released
My top four haven’t changed in a while:
I love EDM, so any game that uses it or is inspired by it holds a special place in my heart, like Streets of Rage, Rez, Dance Dance Revolution, or the Trails of Cold Steel games (especially the second one).
Prince of Persia 2008
Also Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2003).
Civ 3 had some killer modern music.
Minecraft (incl. Wynncraft)
Minecraft soundtrack never gets old, even 3000 hours later I can still listen to it.
Aquaria: Original Soundtrack by Alec Holowka
Such an underrated game. RIP Alec.
Love the Towerfall OST myself, it was such a shock to hear about him.
Hollow Knight, though I don’t really listen to it outside the game.
Cyberpunk has some great songs on the radio.
Morrowind and project wingman are peak. FFXIV is fantastic with a persistent leitmotif across each entire expansion. The final endwalker boss basically wrapped up YEARS worth of story and that fight music was a medly featuring every expansion’s leitmotif and holy shit I can’t get over how incredible it was. Also the pandaemonium raid music. And Alexander. Seriously you can rabbit hole for HOURS on FFXIV music.
Project wingman and the Ace combat series is great!
