Game Series With Reliably Great Soundtracks
For series with at least 3 entries. Series names listed in the notes. Specific games listed are my favourite OSTs in their respective series. I'm not really a massive series guy as it were so feel free to leave suggestions.
19 Games
Paper Mario
Souls (I think the Souls games have great soundtracks in terms of fitting the games even if it's not the kind of music I typically listen to)
Metroid
Yakuza
Nier
Dodonpachi
Mega Man (Note I'm by no means experienced with the Mega Man series so Megaman X isn't necessarily the best OST in the series)
Touhou Project. (I kinda flip flop between IN and UFO having my favourite OSTs in the series, but IN's soundtrack is much more representative of touhou as a whole imo).
Shin Megami Tensei
Castlevania
Gradius
Sonic the Hedgehog (yes even the bad sonic games still have soundtracks that slap more often than not)
Doom
WipEout
Serious Sam
Etrian Odyssey
Kirby
