Personally, I’m a huge fan of Hollow Knight, Ori and the (Blind Forest/Will of the Wisps), and Kingdom Hearts. Orchestral soundtracks are just something else…

    TUNIC, FEZ, Nier Automata, Outer Wilds.

    I also have a soft spot for Paper Mario and TTYD, those soundtracks are full of bops

    All the soundtracks Darren Korb makes for Supergiant. Hades resonates more with me as it’s the one I’ve played the most, but I’m also a huge fan of Transistor’s.

    Outer Wilds. Yeah it’s one of the greatest games ever made, but would it be so good without that soundtrack? Debatable.

    I petitioned to play something from it at my actual wedding (sadly was overruled), and I know I’m not the only one.

      I know! It’s such a good ost! I think one of my favorite songs for it, although not from the ost, is Andrew Prahlow’s Outer Wild - Reprise single. It’s got aspects of all different main themes and is just overall an amazing piece

        I can barely make it 30 seconds into that one without tearing up and I’m not ashamed to admit it.

    I really vibe with Minecraft. The nostalgia just hits different when I listen to it.

    Ori and the Blind Forest’s ost is phenomenal.

    I think all of the Supergiant Games have great soundtrack. Transistor was what got me into their games, and it was the soundtrack that caught my attention first.

    I like OST that goes hard (bass heavy) and I didn’t see any here. My personal favorites are:

    • Hotline Miami (1 & 2)
    • Furi
    • Katana Zero
    • My Friend Pedro
    • Haven I have probably forgotten some games and I will be happy to discover others as it is quite niche.

    The Nier Automata OST is perfection. Almost every single track is memorable and lovable, I often relisten the whole ost just for fun

    I like epic, intense soundtracks so, Darkest Dungeon and Frostpunk. Monster Train is pretty good too.
