I’ve got a few so I’ll kick us off.

Outer Wilds

I listen to this one an awful lot, and from start to finish, which is pretty rare for me when it comes to soundtracks. The song ‘14.3 Billion Years’ still gets me even today and the games main theme is one or the more memorable bits of gaming music I’ve ever encountered.

Return of the Obra Dinn

Atmosphere. The music goes an awful long way to setting a games atmosphere and this soundtrack is no different. I can’t necessarily listen to this on repeat like Outer Wilds, but when I do listen to it I’m immediately catapulted back to being on that damn ship.

Tearaway

This one is just disgustingly charming in a way that only a game for a Media Molecule game could be.

    I realise I’m listening to a lot of game soundtracks, now that you are asking. Old stuff like Diablo 2 and Torchlight 2 (oh Matt Uelman, what a genius), then some sci-fi games like Mass Effect, Warframe (only the first few songs), Deep Rock Galactic. Then some RPGs like The Witcher 3 - this is so distinct and I’m instantly roaming the lands again when listening to that. Also really like Mick Gordon’s Doom but have to be in the mood for that.

    Honorable mention goes to Jeremy Soule and the first Guild Wars 2 soundtrack that was fantastic, but I walked away from the game and don’t feel like listening anymore. I probably forgot some. Curious about what others like!
