Which video game has the best soundtracks?

[Heavens Night]

I always loved the sound track on ssx tricky.

Dark Souls 3
Bloodborne

Classic WoW

For retro - ThunderForce IV OST on the Mega Drive.

There are many great soundtracks.
If you want it more retro but also melodic, there's VVVVVV. The music fits the game perfectly.

This is a hard question, lots of games have great soundtracks.

World of Warcraft
Gotta start with World of Warcraft, no music inspires so much ambience and raw emotional in a video game, especially during WoW's earlier days from vanilla to WoTLK when the music was more ambient, I enjoyed that sort of style more.



Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Also I must add Legend of Zelda from the N64 days. Now I am not sure if its nostalgia but I always kind of like how music was handled around this time. the instrumentals are just so soothing. Although its mostly nostalgia too :P



Transistor
Gotta put this here. My god before Transistor I wasnt aware music could be this good in a video games. When this game came out I downloaded the soundtrack and used to listen to this on my way to work 3AM in the morning. Seriously this might be my favourite soundtrack of all time for a video game.

Total War serie, there is many games with amazing OST but this is my favorite serie that i played since i was a kid.

A few tracks

[Odinfrost]

I see that you all have some good choices, but you are all wrong. The ONLY answer is Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers

[Zenfoldor]

Castlevania IV
Mario Odyssey
Final Fantasy VII
Super Mario World
Undertale

Also, I'm playing a game called "The Messenger" right now and it has a really great soundtrack.

[Skildar]

Golden Sun 2: The Lost Age! In my opinion the best score on the GBA. Motoi Sakuraba knocked this one out of the park.

I can't believe I didn't think of Golden sun
Thank you for this!

[Garretdejiko]

Bloodborne

Yep, and World of Warcraft

[Paetolus]

Xenoblade has some great music.







And much more, but these are my favorite tracks.

[unbound]

Considering the age, Gyruss was absolutely awesome. I remember the cabinet having very nice speakers, so the bass really stood out.

[Misaligned]

Nier: Automata

[Mechazod]

Going off games with more then just 1 or 2 tracks I really like:

Ape Escape 2



Eco Fighters



Violent Storm



Battletoads (Arcade)



Bayonetta (and its sequel)



Blue Dragon



Rocket Knight Adventures



Gex 3



Jazz Jackrabbit 1&2



Mario Tennis



Mega Man Legends 2



Metal Slug 5



Mother 3



Mr. Gimmick



Pac-Man Championship Edition 2



Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire



Wario: Master of Disguise

[Bugg]

I enjoyed the Nier: Automata soundtrack.

[Powerogue]

Some really great picks here, but I can't top Apotheosis:



Breaking through the cloud layer, the mountain within reach, it's the most beautiful thing my senses have ever encountered. I thought "oh, I'll buy the soundtrack!" but it's pretty hard to sleep to it when you're full of adrenaline and your eyes are burning from the tears. Oh well.

I'll give a runner up award to Hat in Time though, I still keep coming back to this. Great controls, great soundtrack, great everything.

[Mysterymask]

Also, Final Fantasy Mystic Quest had a great soundtrack. The game itself was underrated too, in my opinion.

ooooh was hoping someone would say Mystic Quest...hell the fact that Theatrythem actually has Mystic Quest Songs and Ben as a playable character was such an awesome suprise

....and ..yeah Ill also say Mystic Quest is a good "Not as bad as people say it is" game
