What games in your opinion have the best soundtracks?

I can't really comment on this one. Not huge on listening to soundtracks but will post anyway. :)

Tony hawks pro skater 2 and Tony hawks underground. Probably the best soundtracks I've ever heard in a game.

Halo 2

World of Warcraft

(these two are the only videogame soundtracks I’ve ever purchased - flawless)

Project Gotham 2

(a lot of love and care went into these mostly indi choices)

Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg

I really appreciate the soundtracks to just about any Tom Clancy branded videogame. The sense of urgency and patriotism they convey really sets the mood - which is what a soundtrack is supposed to do.

While not an official soundtrack to a game, I downloaded this on my OG Xbox for Burnout 3 and it fit perfectly.

• Vice City
• San Andreas
• Spec ops the line
• Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon
• Mirror's Edge

@npiet1: Aggressive Inline might be one you appreciate too. Lot of classic early 2000's rock songs.

Bionic commando rearmed, vice city and then San Andreas

Deus Ex: Human Revolution

My favourites are:

*Secret of Mana

*Nier Automata

*Tales of Symphonia

*Assassin Creed 2

*Blue Reflection

*Zelda Twilight Princess+ Skyward Sword

Though I think a similar thread was made late into 2018 on GD I do like the interest in gaming music. Far too many to name honestly, I love a good gaming sound track. Really gets my blood pumping for good games. Will try to name and share a few-

Nier Automata, Katamari Damashii, Shadow of the Beast, CastleVania games, Unreal, Bare Knuckle, Sonic Mania, Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2, Morrowind and Oblivion

@clefdefa: What's your favorite list of Soulborne ost? I've noticed most have different favorites.

-Chrono Cross (PS1)

-Donkey Kong: Country (SNES)

Vice city was brilliant

Mega man 2 was an epic soundtrack still to this day.

Skyrim is also very good and suits the world perfectly.

Metal gear solid 4

Medal of Honor Frontline

Grandia 2

Turok 2

Return to Silius

Painkiller

Doom 64

Doom PSX

Homeworld, at least for original soundtracks.

The GTA series since GTA 3 tend to have a good collection of licensed songs, and their talk channels are absolutely hilarious.

Sleeping Dogs has a great soundtrack with a variety of rap, rock, classical,electronica and pop.

Yeah, that soundtrack is incredible... suits the game perfectly.

And more recently, RDR 2's soundtrack was pretty special.

I really like the Omen and Bloodborne, Amygdala, Blood Starved Beast, Celestial Emissary, Ebrietas, Lullaby for Mergo and Maria from the Astral clocktower

For Dark Souls I like a lot Slave Knight Gael, Intro for 3, Lord of Cinder, Abyss Watchers, Lothric

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Halo: Combat Evolved, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2, Streets of Rage, etc.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

FF7

Arcanum

I know I'm missing a bunch...

I only count original game music and don't care about licensed stuff, so my 3 off the top of my head would be:

- Deus Ex (all games)

- Mass Effect (orignal trilogy, as I'm yet to play the 4th)

- the original Unreal Tournament

@clefdefa: Good picks, some of my favorites as well, though I do like Gehrman The First Hunter as well.

and Mankind Divided

Dark Souls Series

Final Fantasy 7, 8, 10

All Kingdom Hearts games

@omegamaster: 10 had a great soundtrack imo. Very nostalgic.

World of Warcraft has had fantastic soundtracks since vanilla. I've also enjoyed Dark Souls too. Kingdom Hearts and FF ones I routinely listen to.

@speeny: Yup. Better than 11-15. They were not so memorable.

I'd go with SFII, it has so many memorable themes.

Every piece of music became associated with a specific character, and they are all still used 25+ years on.

Final Fantasy VII

Mirror's Edge. I liked the soundtrack so much I got a few Solar Fields albums.

Too many to keep track of. Like every RPG pretty much.

Nier Automata is my current soundtrack binge though.

Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill Homecoming and Silent Hill The Room.

Sould Reaver has a nice OST too.

And for party days Hotline Miami 1 and 2.

The last of Us has one of the best soundtracks in games imo. Although I would say there's a few of the tracks in the ost that don't work well outside of the context of the game, but that is likely to happen in most games.

Assassins Creed 2

Uncharted (all of them)

Far Cry 4

Zelda: A Link to the Past
Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Zelda: Wind Waker
Super Metroid
Metroid Prime
Super Mario 64
Super Mario Galaxy

And then there's a bunch of really iconic music from a bunch of NES games that I love. Too many to list.

Halo, Assassin's Creed, and Mass Effect

ocarina of time

I have been playing this game for many years. But recently due to error codes in my laptop, the soundtrack is not playing whenever I am playing the game. Even the game is not running swiftly like before. If I fix Error Code 0X80071A90 with https://errorcode0x.com/error-code-0x80071a90/ that has actually occurred will it solve these problems?

Wonderboy 3: The Dragons Trap (ps4/Xone/Switch remaster). It has the original 8-bit soundtrack which itself is fantastic, and an updated one which is also great. Plus you can switch them on the fly with the push of a button which is great.
