Personally, I’m a huge fan of Hollow Knight, Ori and the (Blind Forest/Will of the Wisps), and Kingdom Hearts. Orchestral soundtracks are just something else…

      Fantastic choices here… based on the quality of the list… I gotta listen to the ones on your list that I haven’t heard yet: Deathloop, here we go.

      As for Spectre tourment, is that Shovel Knight: Spectre of Torment OST?

    Both the Nier games have amazing soundtracks that I listen to frequently.

    Kena: Bridge of Spirits is also great although I don’t really listen to it on its own. It really makes the game feel much more impactful while playing.

    TUNIC, FEZ, Nier Automata, Outer Wilds.

    I also have a soft spot for Paper Mario and TTYD, those soundtracks are full of bops

      Chrono Trigger

      Finally, a man of culture and taste. I used to just let Magus’ theme play on repeat back in mid 90s.

    Ori and the Blind Forest’s ost is phenomenal.

    I think all of the Supergiant Games have great soundtrack. Transistor was what got me into their games, and it was the soundtrack that caught my attention first.

    I think the Elder Scrolls games all have great music, but Morrowind’s OST has always stood out as amazing. Hearing that opening soundtrack immediately sends me back to playing it for the first time!

    The soundtracks from NieR:Automata and NieR Replicant are definitely my favorite of all time.

    Halo: Reach and Halo 3: ODST are also very good.

    Man this question isn’t even fair there are so many fantastic soundtracks in gaming I could literally go on for hours about them.

    Doom, Mass Effect, Halo, Skyrim, Ratchet and Clank, Assassin’s creed(3 especially), Divinity original sin 2, pathfinder: wrath of the righteous, monster hunter, league of legends(all of riot games really), darktide, sonic, payday, witcher, Spiderman, Zelda, cyberpunk, megaman, final fantasy, Devil may cry, metal gear, undertale

    that’s just what I think of off the top of my head, there could easily be an entire sub just dedicated to the topic
