Games you think have perfect soundtracks. - Post 'em, boys and girls.

Persona 5 is the most disappointing, boring and mundane of all five of the soundtracks.

The Persona soundtracks have been getting progressively worse since the GOAT.

P2 is kino, but the Persona 1 OST (the PS1 original not the PSP remake, fuck you Meguro) goes unreasonably hard:

The tracks Hidehito Aoki worked on are definite standouts. His work on the Majin Tensei games is also stellar. R.I.P.

Most Wanted 2005 is damn good and I'm surprised nobody dropped it here. It's a good mix of rock, metal, hip hop and whatever else was cool at the time. I'm glad I was too young to reach the pedals at the time because I would have sped off with my parents shitbox Toyota listening to this any day.

It had some good original dynamic tracks for police chases too. The music would change depending on what's happening:

Old EA games of this era always had good background tracks. The chase soundtrack for Need for Speed Carbon gives me nostalgia to this day

I think Midnight Club LA had a pretty neat soundtrack

None of you have heard of this.

Ace Combat 7 has an amazing soundtrack that is perfectly synced to gameplay:

The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures. I love this Sherlock Holmes fanfiction with all my heart.

Damn it's been years since I've thought about this game.

From start to finish, every stage song in this game is like an audio drug taking your brain to amazing places.

Holy shit I never realized this soundtrack was made by Stewart Copeland. I was too young to pay proper attention to it at the time I played Spyro, although I was aware the music is pretty groovy.
I have the most playtime on Spyro 3, still recognize some of those songs even. Good shit.

 

[Celebrate Nite]

This game, somehow, has a really banger sound track. In fact it should be illegal for something this fucking simple to have amazing music, especially the final round song. Reminds me of those 90's-2000's midi tunes you'd find on old PC games.

I can name only 4 off the top of my head, 3 of which make sense, 1 because I have problems. Anarchy Reigns, Slayers X, Xenoblade Chronicles X, and Sonic R.

Most game OSTs have the issue of having 1-3 really good tracks, then the rest just being "meh" or actual dogshit. Madworlds OST is OK, "Look Pimpin'" being the one track I really like, but it just doesn't compare to AR and the raw "fuck you, cunt!" energy of those tracks. Slayers X's soundtrack is extremely on point as the games vibe of being a late 90's - early 00's teens notebook turned into a game would fall flat on its face without it. The soundtrack legitimately sounds like some Nu Metal bands of the era and I love it for it. XCX's is definitely more "anime" feeling than the other two, but it was very good at setting the mood of the game and it's one of the few times I was looking up the music to listen to independently of the game.

As for Sonic R... well I owned a Saturn as a kid, and we had very few games. I'm not sure if I unironically love the campy ass pop music, or if I've been conditioned like a beaten dog to enjoy it.

 

[X Prime]

What, no mention of Parasite Eve?

The first one. Not so much the second.

 

[Claus]

Very cliche picks but Earthbound and Mother 3 are probably my favorite videogame soundtracks, especially Earthbound. They have a ton of variety and just ooze with the personality present in the games. It almost feels like they were composed by someone like Frank Zappa or John Zorn lol. I'd say Super Mario 64 fits into this category for me as well.

 

[Lone MacReady II]

Lords of Shadow has an underrated OST, and it fits really well. When the menu theme can give you feels the game isn't all bad.

The music was definitely the best part of those games. Especially the Music Box stage in the first game that played Vampire Killer felt like a great little love letter to the series' roots.

 

[ENDTOPII]

Mirror's Edge had some really comfy chill stuff.

Also, I noticed that fellow LEGO games enjoyers are here:

Spoiler: Comfy LEGO

I heard that it was a rip off some other track (DJ Shadow), but this version is much better and more clear in its execution.

Lucky Luke: Western Fever had some really good bangers, just right from the start, the intro gives you two nice "Western" tracks.

Oh shit, yeah I forgot about the music box. Vampire killer is good in any era.

Still the best wrestling video game soundtrack of all time.

Japanese royalty-free music composers are cracked as hell

Utawarerumono:

The entire OST is great and matches the scenes perfectly, but this one is a real highlight. It's probably the most epic song used during the battles in any game, it really feels like some grand war music.

 

[Autistic Gunspergings]

The OST for Ready or Not seriously took me by surprise when I first heard it, It definitely wasn't what I expected coming into this game, and I mean that in the best way possible.

There are plenty of things about this game that frustrate me, but the music is not one of them, It really does help pull you into the hellhole that is Los Suenos. For a tactical shooter that does a lot to appeal to the Milsim LARPerator crowd, you'd think they would stick to some generic alt-rock music and be done with it, but they really put a lot of effort into making sure it "fits" into the game's atmosphere and general themes.
