Splatoon and Terraria are some of my personal favs! (especially Nine out of Tension/Big Betrayal and Plantera/Boss 2 respectively)
Donkey Kong country 2 diddy kongs quest has the best soundtrack to any game ever. Hearing it now and reminiscing from 1994 almost makes me ■■■■ in my pants.
I can’t believe I forgot this…
The entire Undertale soundtrack.
The entire Ori and the blind forest and Ori will of the wisps sound tracks
Also any Legend of Zelda wind waker sound track
Splatoon music is awesome.
So far I did the music in splatoon #1/Wii u to be the best. Splatoon 3 is good too.
Did someone posted Jet set radio future?
Is just amazing!
F Zero X and Hades have two of my favorite OSTs. Transistor and Halo 3 are also incredibly good.
linking heian alien over emotional skyscraper…
a bold pick, but not one I agree with
If we’re doing original soundtracks, Breath of the Wild is killer. As is all of Super Castlevania IV mentioned earlier. Castlevania Symphony of the Night also slays. And Castlevania Bloodlines for Genesis/MegaDrive. Also Kid Dracula on NES. ALSO first gen Pokemon.
Oddball is Guitaroo Man/Lives. So damn good.
Compilations that cannot be beat are Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1, Katamaris (though there are original tracksni believe it’s mostly a comp, correct me if I’m wrong) and Jet Set/Grind Radio.
I definitely forgot to mention some bangers earlier, so here’s a few more (yes, I grew up in the 16 bit era )
Transistor is so good. I love supergiant all their games have a lot of love poured into them.
Barkerville! That’s a good one.
Supergiant is easily the most recent and reliable studio to have released anything of real substance. Larian comes close though. BG3 is a helluva game.
Fromsoftware is reliable too if you like their style. Elden Ring was my first game I beat from them and I get it now. It was so good I bought AC6 having never played an Armored Core game which has been so fun.
