What's your favorite soundtrack?

[Voids]

Personally I'm burnt out on the hyper generic grandiose scores of most modern rpgs and turn the music off. That said my favorite soundtrack would be from fallout 1. It's evocative and atmospheric while also being a little creepy in areas.

 

[Snorkack]

Might&Magic VI, Diablo 1

 

[d1r]

Shin Megami Tensei IV, by a large margin.

Very melancholic and atmospheric, imo.

For maximum activation of nostalgia glands:

 

[Silva]

Deus Ex 1 and Hotline Miami.

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

Might and Magic VI is my all time favorite.

Of the never stuff Josh Culler's work on NEO Scavenger and Underrail is pretty good.

 

[Catacombs]

Mine are mostly from movies:

Blade Runner
Blade Runner 2049
Hereditary
Arrival

 

[Nano]

Deus Ex, hands down.

Spoiler

Very fitting that this masterpiece of a game has a masterpiece of a soundtrack.

 

[zwanzig_zwoelf]

Evergrace soundtrack, of course.

 

[Silva]

Deus Ex, hands down.

Very fitting that this masterpiece of a game has a masterpiece of a soundtrack.

Remember stepping on UNATCO HQ after 1st mission, and that 3rd tune above starting?

 

[CryptRat]

Thalion's games have great soundtracks :

[overly excitable young man]

MM 3 has a great soundtrack. I like that jolly stuff.

 

[Darth Canoli]

Mine are mostly from movies:

Blade Runner
Blade Runner 2049
Hereditary
Arrival

My favorite films OST are from Ennio Morricone (just pick one, i have a 3 CD compil of his work and they're all as good as the previous one) and Basil Poledouris (Conan), special mention to Eric Serra (Subway comes to mind first)

 

[Orma]

 

[Lady_Error]

Hands down, Shadowrun Dragonfall (here mislabeled as Shadowrun Returns):

 

[None]

Fallout 1 & 2. This was peak Mark Morgan imo. My personal favorite is City of the Dead.

More recently I've enjoyed the soundtrack from 40k Mechanicus, especially Children of the Omnissiah. Does a good job at capturing the homicidal toaster worshiper vibe.

 

[Swigen]

Singletrac games (Twisted Metal 1, 2, Jet Moto 1,2, Rogue Trip) had the best fuckin’ soundtracks.

 

[Pink Eye]

Surprised no one mentioned Transistor.

 

[Will Zurmacht]

Bastion, for its very personal and offbeat tracks for the time.



Also big up for the Shadowrun: DF vote.

 

[Lady_Error]

By now really old, but it's so good (in case you haven't listened to it too many times):

 

[Heroic Liberator]

From recent stuff, probably FC5's soundtrack.

Does a good job at capturing the homicidal toaster worshiper vibe.

Somewhat related,

 

[Beggar]

I don't think there is anything better than Kings Field 4 - it's just insane and unthinkable genius.
Also extraordinary: Silent Hill 2. It's not the locations you are exploring, you go with the tunes.

Worth mentioning: Hitman 4, Persona 3-4. Pure mood soundtrack, perfect for those 3 games.
