Videogame Music Recommendations?

Wow that's great! Seems to be a high quality production also. How could I overlook this...

It definitely is! I remember being awestruck throughout the game as it threw fantastic themes at me one after another. And it’s a perfect match with the visuals.

Wow, there are some great recommendations in this topic, thank you all for sharing!

If I could choose one from the top of my head that wasn't already shared (happy to see the Witcher getting a nod, always great to see my Polish brothers represented!), I would choose Beyond Good and Evil by Christophe Héral. It had a huge effect on my life ever since it came out and it's just such a lovely, beautiful score, still waiting for that sequel, ~16 years later. Anybody else remember it? It was never a successful game, which is a shame.

Most of my favourites have already been mentioned, but a game score that I think is absolutely fantastic is Kingdom Come Deliverance by Jan Valta.
The main theme is very simple, but appropriate. But go beyond the title theme treatment and hear the variations he puts the theme through and how he combines it with other themes - brilliant! Even among the many wonderful game soundtracks out there I found this very refreshing!

Apologies if it was mentioned already. With the "modern-like" sound few of these I know:

This one makes a hippie like me wanna go to war. (I have it in the car on repeat and put it when I go for groceries :D)




And this one, well I cried. A lot. And again. (My Shepard had a romance with Tali).

I don't see any SoulCalibur on this thread. Here is is one my favorite tracks from SoulCalibur 3.

Nothing new to add, but just wanted to say what an absolute gold-mine this thread has been! Found so much great music in here and frankly amazed bu the quality of videogame music which is sorely under-appreciated. Thanks to all for the fantastic suggestions!!

with upgraded sound:

Original Destiny and Monster Hunter (especially Tri) are some of the best ever made IMO.

+1 to Destiny!

Awesome list already, I was kind of surprised that most of my favorite game soundtracks were already mentioned on the first page!

But also surprisingly nobody has mentioned these so far:

Shadow of the Colossus (Kow Otani):


And ICO (Michiru Oshima):

My #1 favorite game soundtrack. Unfortunately not well known due to how overlooked the game was.

When games had amazing memorable kickass tunes:

Yes, my personal favorite:

SO MUCH YES. My favourite expansion, favourite music and favourite sound. ^

Anything joris de man . I think he has the best sound in orchestral scores. I don’t like full orchestra scores and his stuff is the only I like.
