Give me your favourite OSTs, individual tracks, whatever.
I have lots of favourites but I feel like most will be suggested by others so I’ll go for one that isn’t as popular: Monaco: What’s Yours Is Mine. The whole soundtrack is amazing start to finish. Some of the best piano tunes to ever be in a video game, and a super under-appreciated game. It should’ve been way bigger than it was. Unfortunately it’s being tainted by its less-than-stellar sequel which came out recently. Don’t play the sequel, but definitely play the original. It’s fun solo but it really shines co-op with a friend (or three). It supports up to four players and I’d definitely recommend co-op if you have the means. I used to play it on 360 with a friend of mine and it’s some of my most fond gaming memories. It’s not a difficult game to figure out but it’s not an easy game to get good at. But all that is to say, play the game, or if you can’t, absolutely listen to the soundtrack. It’s awesome.
Seconding this for the co-op play. It just captures the feeling of a heist so perfectly in a bite-sized package. In a matter of seconds you’ll go from everyone calm and knowing their role, to full panic mode as soon as someone makes a mistake, to a wary sense of relief as you manage to barely get to safety but still have to complete your mission.
I didn’t know about the sequel. Now I’m tempted to try it…
The soundtrack in Celeste is fantastic
I really like the soundtrack to Suikoden. Maybe it’s nostalgia, but it’s one of the better ones for me.
And lunar silver star story is pretty good too.

Can we really consider the gta games to have an ost?
Hotline Miami is a banger, the game and the soundtrack.
Celest, little big planet
+1 for Celeste. Brilliant game, brilliant OST
I love the Celeste OST. In general I like does made by Lena raine but that one is my favorite.
Unreal Tournament
Terminal Velocity
I love the soundtrack to Final Fantasy 6. Brings back good memories.

The Opened Way is the greatest fantasy boss fight music ever composed
The intro piece is another favourite of mine. So fantastically atmospheric, melancholy and hopeful and lonely all at once
The Batman Arkham games had some pretty awesome soundtracks.
Batman Arkham games
City brings me back no matter when I give it a listen. Origins, despite being the black sheep, had an awesome soundtrack too.
Yeah for sure, I actually watched Batman Begins at the cinema this weekend for the 20th anniversary and I’m itching to jump back into the Arkham games after that. Such a great series overall.
My wife likes to watch me play the Batman games, especially Asylum, and she recently requested I play them again. I put a couple hours into Asylum, so I’ve still got the itch to continue. City is the most nostalgic for me, but I think Asylum was the best game overall. It’s probably the one I revisit the most.
