What video game soundtracks put you in a good mood?

The LBP soundtrack always puts me in a good mood!

What about you, GD? What video game soundtracks put you in a good mood?

I always liked ABZU's soundtrack. It's like if PIXAR and Studio Ghibli music producers worked together.

Little Big Planet was amazing, till Sumo Digital got its talentless greasy fingers on the franchise with late Little Big Planet 2 expansions and the awful third entry. LBP2 is one of my favorite games of all time! So it all breaks my lil heart. .

Also worth noting LBP games are being delisted from the PSN Store. Either hints at a remaster, or PlayStation don't want newer gamers aware that Sackfolk use to be in good games.

As for the thread. I love a lot of OSTs in games, Monkey Island games have some delightful jolly music_

I really wish Media Molecule hadn't abandoned the franchise. Dreams ended up being a flop as far as what I can tell.

I'm torn on that logic, I do not like creators to have to 'stick' with a franchise. I just also do not like to see another developer shame its reputation. And Sumo Digital was already a bad developer long before they got around to Little Big Planet.

As for Dreams, I agree. It is/was an ambitious time and money sink for Mm that ultimately just makes ugly ragdoll clay figures. It's a cool concept and on paper looks to be an evolution of the Little Big Planet series, it wasn't and isn't however. Lacking a lot of the charm people enjoyed about those games. I know many creators put hundred of hours into a single creation but most just end up the same and fall apart in the same way.

However I do recommend Tearaway to anyone who enjoyed Little Big Planet, criminally overlooked game.

@RSM-HQ: I still remember Tearaway on the Vita. Good times.

There's ALOT but I will just narrow it down to one and that will be Mirror's Edge.

A lot. 😅

A few of my favourites though are:

- Mega Man 2

- Mega Man X

- Contra III: The Alien Wars

- Super Castlevania IV

- Sparkster

- Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

- Final Fight

- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game

- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time

- Chrono Trigger

- Chrono Cross

- The King of Fighters ‘96

- Blazblue games

Persona 5 soundtrack. Every track makes you bop your head, so funky.

Tony Hawk and skate games. But as far as original music I’d have to say Final Fantasy.

Anything Star Wars. Other than that, Tony hawk, Skate and GTA games are the only ones I can remember caring about the tunes.

If it's a racing game, I turn the music off and play my own tunes on shuffle.

Best thing about the show, really.

Another one.

@warmblur: Mirror's Edge is a great soundtrack. That got me into Solar Fields, then Catalyst got me into Chvrches.

As far as game music that puts me in a good mood? Kirby. How can you not feel upbeat listening to that catchy shit?

I actually feel joy from the dango song in MH: Rise. Each and every time.

Mario Odyssey's soundtrack is pretty cool.

You are a happy Japanese child 😄

@RSM-HQ: Rise is overflowing with so much of that typical Capcom charm. I love it!

@SolidGame_basic: A misconception many have with the songs in MH is they're all in a language for this franchise alone, referred to as the 'Monster Hunter language'.

Some lovely songs from Monster Hunter though and they're typically well regarded.

This song always puts me in a good mood especially after a long day of work-

It is so good! *chef's kiss*, a stellar follow-up to Iceborne

Wish it had a few more actually challenging hunts however. I have not really had my blood stir for any particular hunt in the release game. And at this point I'm now just build making. They're entertaining and adore all the new monsters, they are easy to put down though, even with Apex Rampages. And I feel this will make or break the additions moving forward for post-game.

The main song from LBP is by a group called Battles iirc. I got to see them live once.

FF7 and Persona 5 soundtracks are bangers.

Legend of Zelda theme:

@benleslie5: P4G OST always puts me in a good mood. Reach out to the Truth !!!!

Probably The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt Blood and Wine and Hearts of Stone soundtracks:

Sorry they are a bit long..!!

I agree with Tony Hawk sound tracks. I have songs from their soundtracks in my daily playlist.

Another one I haven't seen mentioned is Halo Wars 2 OST.

Locoroco Cocoreccho <3 <3 <3

Persona 5 Striker's OST is so good.

Fallout 1& 2 and Arcanum had best soundtracks for my chill mood

Me after a going through a toxic community.

@warmblur: Oh yes. Alcorus

As for me, the Old Tomb Raider soundtrack wakes my soul up. Tropico too

Thumper! It’s a great motivator!
