    I have lots of favourites but I feel like most will be suggested by others so I’ll go for one that isn’t as popular: Monaco: What’s Yours Is Mine. The whole soundtrack is amazing start to finish. Some of the best piano tunes to ever be in a video game, and a super under-appreciated game. It should’ve been way bigger than it was. Unfortunately it’s being tainted by its less-than-stellar sequel which came out recently. Don’t play the sequel, but definitely play the original. It’s fun solo but it really shines co-op with a friend (or three). It supports up to four players and I’d definitely recommend co-op if you have the means. I used to play it on 360 with a friend of mine and it’s some of my most fond gaming memories. It’s not a difficult game to figure out but it’s not an easy game to get good at. But all that is to say, play the game, or if you can’t, absolutely listen to the soundtrack. It’s awesome.

    I got one I’m betting we won’t find on here yet…

    Alone in the Dark 5, an incredibly ambitious game that fell short, but had some great ideas.

    One of which was how that incredible soundtrack by Oliver Deriviere drove this particular playable sequence, 59th Street .

    The whole soundtrack done in conjunction with “The Mystery of Bulgarian Voices” is absolutely stunning for an action-horror title.

    It was the best part of the game and an incredible example of meshing soundtrack with cinematic gameplay.

    . . . actually? All the stuff he does is freaking awesome, so see/listen to his other titles like:

    • Remember Me (Awesomely underrated!)
    • Obscure

    Other (lesser known / thought of?) good soundtracks off the top of my head:

    • There Came an Echo (by Big Giant Circles. So good they used the theme in Stranger Things! Season…2?)
    • Anything by Supergiant lol.
    • Oni (bungie / rockstar)
    • FTL
    • Metro 2033, Metro: Last Light, Metro: Exodus
    • Deus Ex: Human Revolution
    • X-COM: Enemy Unknown and X-COM 2.
    • King’s Quest VIII: Mask of Eternity

    I’ll probably add to this if I think of any more. :)

    • Bastion
    • Lost Eden
    • Duke Nukem 3D
    • Flatout 2
    • System Shock
    • Arcanum …

    But there are probably a lot more which I have played and are great.

    SUPER MARIO GALAXY. IT HAS SUCH A LEGENDARY SOUNDTRACK. If you wanna just try it out, first listen to “Gusty Garden Galaxy” Literally one of the most beautiful game soundtracks.

    Bastion. It’s Bastion. Holy shit the answer to this question is Bastion.

    I’m assuming you know that Hades’ soundtrack is fucking amazing, but before that came Bastion (from the same developer), and it has possibly the most powerful soundtrack I’ve ever experienced. The way it’s integrated into the story genuinely blows my mind. Every track is a banger, but then you’ll start to get used to it, and then you’ll hear a song that’s so different, and it’s because something unexpected and beautiful is about to happen.

    Then you’ll get to the end and you’ll have a choice to make. Except it won’t feel like a choice, because you’ll feel compelled to do exactly what the game wants you to do, and then you’re rewarded with one of the most beautiful sequences I’ve ever seen in a game, accompanied by a haunting song that I still sing fourteen years later.

    I can’t stress this enough: if you want a game where the music is an essential part of the experience and is just so fucking amazing on its own that you’ll want to play it on repeat, the answer is Bastion.

    I also really loved the soundtrack to Baldur’s Gate 3.

    I’m honestly surprised no one has mentioned Chrono Trigger yet. Absolutely fantastic soundtrack.

    Secret of mana 3 is also great. The track that comes to mind is “where angels fear to tread”

    Celeste.

    The synergy between the soundtrack, the gameplay and the mechanics is just unparalleled.
