Noteworthy OSTs

And my favorite track from (almost) every title in the notes. (Plus the creator of the track and the company/individual responsible for the game itself)

Feel free to recommend literally whatever, because chances are I've forgotten loads of other notable games, or simply haven't tried them yet. But i will limit it to one game per studio/creator. Just to keep it somewhat manageable

Track titles might potentially spoil stuff, be aware.

Some notes can contain a jumbled mess of text, because I'm still mulling over the soundtrack. Multiple hours of audio can and will get exhausting after a while.

Honorary mention for Thumper, because that game doesn't have a "soundtrack" per se. However is still very much, a transcendent musical experience, i recommend to pretty much any avid videogame music listener!
