Best video game soundtrack

Destacado
I don't think i can choose but i like to listen to Touhou music, it's just amazing to me how many different and amazing versions we get of the same songs.

EDIT: I can probably fill plenty of SSDs with just all the videogame music i listen to. Not that i dislike normal music, but it just doesn't do it for me. I could never pick a favorite one since i juggle 3-4 OSTs for a while then move on to other ones and so on.

I was a very big fan of Jesper Kyd's Hitman soundtracks and I've never understood why they never brought him back after Blood Money.

Crazy to think it's been 15 years since there was a Jesper Kyd Hitman soundtrack.
 
Etrian Odyssey franchise has some of my favourite soundtrack, I remember how the music blindsided me when I played the game for the first time. It's not what I was expecting from such a weeb looking dunngeon crawler, but it was a welcomed surprise.

And unlike other franchises, the music just kept getting better and better.

Honorary mention to FFXIV Stormblood EX songs.
4.0 expansion may have been shit storywise, but the extreme raids had some of the best music and fights of the entire franchise (except Shinryu, that one can fuck right off)

Oblivion's soundtrack is one I go back to all the time, in particular the town themes.

Though it's been memed to death at this point, Harvest Dawn is one of the comfiest pieces I've heard in a game. (7:25 if timestamp doesn't work)

Even just sitting there listening to the tracks I get a dumb smile on my face because it brings back so many good memories from my childhood.
 
Akira Yamaoka's Silent Hill soundtracks were incredible, especially the vocal tracks.

But unfortunately, like Jesper Kyd and Hitman, it's been over a decade since there was a Akira Yamaoka Silent Hill soundtrack.

For me it brings back good memories of my teenage years, not my childhood, but Oblivion really did have a magical atmosphere to it.

Oblivion was one of the last games I played that had a certain vibe it to that I remember a lot of games had around the time of the original Xbox, it's kind of hard to even put into words what I'm talking about, but I guess I mean games that had a certain surreal fantasy aesthetic from back then, God of War 2018 interestingly reminded me of that in the part where you're in the land of the fairies, it felt like a real throwback to 2000s games.

Skyrim's grittier approach feels a lot more generic today than Oblivion, if Skyrim is the movie Conan The Barbarian, Oblivion is the movie Legend.
 
Metal Gear Rising has a good OST sure, but I will die on this fucking hill.
Base game is fucking great, but the devs decided to say that was just fucking noise, and dropped some of the best fucking boss tracks just because fuck lesser OSTs
(Though to be fair, Orphan of Kos losses a bit of it's touch by not having the bosses autistic screeching throughout)
 
Super Castlevania 4 is the gold standard of 16bit VG soundtracks. The sound quality is so good it could be mistaken for CD audio.
