Best video game soundtracks

This is a boss battle in Final Fantasy XIV online. The music makes it even more memorable.

  • I remember this game destroying me:

  • Any grand theft auto

  • Currently playing Tears of the Kingdom and this song makes me smile whenever I visit Tarry Town

    @Charlie_Bear To The Moon and its music gets me everytime.

  • @AJlaptop89
    Right? It’s such a great game. Good way to clear out those tear ducts.

  • I could be here all day posting my favourites haha. Nier Automata has a fantastic soundtrack though.

  • I really love buckbumble 64 theme song. So catchy!

  • @CuddleBarista1
    Anything Nintendo 64 immediately gets my upvote.

  • Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory is the goat for me

    Just got into a game called CrossCode because of it's OST. The title theme music found its way to me on Spotify, and something about it clicked with me. I'm now nearly done with it at the time of writing.

    @Charlie_Bear I can get behind that. Old Nintendo and SEGA soundfonts hit different.

    oh god, here comes my inner nerd. My love of video game music where I actually bought the OST began with Final Fantasy 7.

    But, my favorite OST of all time are:
    1) Bayonetta (Let's Dance Boys and Fly me to the Moon!!)
    2) God Hand (I'm a beat em up fan, this is like the greatest and funniest game of all time too!)
    3) Anarchy Reigns (it's got like 35 all original hip hop songs and some cool jazz instrumentals)
    4) Nier (I like it more than Automata)
    5) Final Fantasy 7 (but the series, really)
    6) Sonic CD (but the series, really)
    7) Space Channel 5 (it's got freaking Michael Jackson in it!!!)
    8) Parappa the Rapper (kick punch it's all in the mind)

    Honorable mention has to go out to Nintendo for the first level of Super Mario Brothers....it's like the most iconic video game music of all time. The music in the new trailer for Super Mario Bros Wonder is AWESOME!!!!

    A big shoutout for Tommy Tallarico is also owed because he really put video game music on the map. Earthworm Jim and Cool Spot are two of my favorites of his.

    I doubt I will ever be in a relationship ever again, but if I do I think I am going to have to be with a woman who is a gamer, and not a casual one either.....haha

    Let's Dance Boys!

    Let's Dance Boys! remixed (not as good, IMO)

    GodHand (you can see where the video for Let's Dance Boy was inspired from)

    Anarchy Reigns

    @MrAdmirer
    The soundtrack to PaRappa the Rapper is always in my head.







  • Mass Effect 2 Suicide Mission is one of my all time favorites, it builds upon itself beautifully.

    Skyrim is a good runner up. 👍

    @Charlie_Bear Toe Jam and Earl 1 and 2 are also epic.

    Cody Wright slays on the funk bass solos on the remake of Toe Jam and Earl

    The more I think about it, the more I can come up with.

  • Only kind of kidding....

    Besides the classics, this is a memorable one from my childhood.

    Tenchu: Stealth Assassins

  • [Deleted User]YabYumist (deleted user)

    The Last of Us has an amazing soundtrack as well.

  • [Deleted User]AnNichols (deleted user)

    @MrAdmirer great choice with anarchy reigns, honestly an all time underrated soundtrack

  • [Deleted User]AJsnuggle (deleted user)

    @Charlie_Bear Yep! Game 3, Imposter Factory, got me too

  • [Deleted User]MaverickLegend (deleted user)


    The whole game has a pretty amazing soundtrack, but this is one that I like to listen to in the evening to wind down

  • [Deleted User]MaverickLegend (deleted user)


    Another nice evening tune that I enjoy this game right here probably has one of the best soundtracks of all time

  • One more heh.

    Grandia is still my favourite game of all time.

  • [Deleted User]MrAdmirer (deleted user)

    @Lisa123 as I mentioned in my post, Super Mario is probably the most iconic music piece in video game history.
    @GrayKunz That's a good pick too, man I love the Tenchu series. Sekiro is like a modern day upgrade, but I would love another true Tenchu title.
    @lonelytauros another great pick. Once the CD format was introduced to gaming the music really cranked it up a notch!

  • Any Persona sound track, but especially P3.

    Omori sound track.
