paradise killer ost is goated

1 year ago

Yeah, easily one of the best to come out in recent memory.

1 year ago

Lego Island is gravely needed

1 year ago

The Great Ace Attorney and Kirby and the Forgotten Land have some of my favorite music ever (:

Also it's cool that you have Irisu syndrome on here, the soundtrack for that game is very overlooked !

1 year ago

Snigglegros: Lego Island - gotta listen
moschidae: TGAA/Kirby and the Forgotten Land - have to listen

but you reminded me to put Kirby Super Star there, thank you!
Both Hollow Knight and Metorid Prime have, in my opinion, the best OST in all the Metroidvania genre and are some of the best in the medium.

Also Maio & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story is my favourite out of the DS catalogue but maybe that's just my bias kicking in XD.

1 year ago

No problem! And I hope u enjoy the soundtracks :D

1 year ago

Streets of Rage II is here, good. Best OST of all time.

1 year ago

I kneel for Yuzo Koshiro

1 year ago

Feel the need to come in here and praise Ex-Zodiac, even though I've never played the game.

1 year ago

I'll have to check it out.

A lot of these games I haven't played either. I have listened to hundreds, prob thousands more hours of game music than I have played games.
if you liked the paradise killer ost, you should really try producer (2021), same vibe

1 year ago

Paradise Killer's soundtrack also rules, another game I frequently listen to the OST for but haven't played (yet.)

Also just gonna drop Armed to the Eights and Can't Stop the Law from Ex-Zodiac. Probably my two favorite tracks.

1 year ago

Always good to see the Jet Set Radio Future OST on a list of good soundtracks. I'll suggest the original Jet Set Radio OST of course, and the Ollie King OST which Naganuma also worked on.

1 year ago

Great list! I would consider Persona 5 and Banjo Kazooie.
digital devil saga, xenoblade chronicles (wii), and katamari damacy

1 year ago

Yes! How did I forget Katamari Damacy.

1 year ago

Wish I could like comments, thanks for the suggestions everyone. Katamari Damacy and Ollie King are goated. Persona 5 is pretty hit or miss for me but has some really stand out tracks
dropping in to recommend Sonic Rush to go along with all of the Hideki Naganuma appreciation goin' on here. lots of great picks on this list!

1 year ago

added a bunch more

1 year ago

I saw Zero Divide on here and that's all it takes to get a like from me.

1 year ago

seconding producer (2021) and also the cosmo D games, particularly off-peak

Adding a changelog so now people can see the stuff I added! Thanks for all the suggestions.

Live A Live remake, Bravely Default 1 + 2, NEO: The World Ends With You, Final Fantasy IX, Shin Megami Tensei V, & The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles all come to mind as some of the best soundtracks I've ever heard.

11 months ago

Pretty much every Kingdom Hearts game has a superb soundtrack.

10 months ago

I'd like to recommend my favorite VGM OST, Ar Tonelico Melody of Elemia.

10 months ago

@sleeping0dragon: I will check it out, thanks.

10 months ago

the Ori games though

Outer Wilds has a catchy musical motif throughout that I find myself humming or whistling from time to time.

I also just finished Omori and had some very powerful music.
