Kenshi has some of the best ambient music. Scorching wind gives chills every time.

Diablo 1 - Tristram Theme

Tenchu: Stealth Assassins

I am personally in love with Far Cry 5's soundtrack.

Risk of Rain 2

A few i havent seen mentioned.

Sonic 2 and 3 on megadrive. Especially the ice zone with the snowboard on 3. https://youtu.be/hYxlqTpZ-24

Icewind dale. The kuldahar music is epic. https://youtu.be/B92P1-OUNJo or easthaven in peace https://youtu.be/ERd5stTsaBc

I'm going to give honorable mention to Buck Bumble on the N64.

I remember basically nothing about the game, or even if it was any good, but I rented it once at blockbuster and like 2 decades later the theme song still pops into my head once in a while.

Ace Combat

@TheBananaKing

I'd say Sayonara Wild Hearts. It's a rhythm game so expertly crafted with the musicsoundtrack it gives me chills. It's so, so good

Castlevania, Zelda and Silent Hill (though I'd say all first 3) mentioned so I'm gonna say Alundra. Sure it's very Zelda/JRPG, but that game had some amazing music that just sticks with you.

Also a little tongue in cheek, but Adventures of Lolo. I'm not sure if there's just one song throughout the trilogy, but it sure feels like it. Weirdly it doesn't bother you. It's like a hypnosis that just makes you play one more level. One more try. Kind of like the Tetris soundtrack, but it never gets old.

My pick for best chiptune track

Mega Man 3 on guitar is fantastic: https://youtu.be/9__sJWMXjE0

The original Destiny sound track was fire

Skyrim was pretty epic… even the “wandering around” music was perfect.

But my #1 is Still Alive (closing theme song to Portal).

Shadowrun for Sega Genesis

I listen to "Carmeaty Burana" from Super Meat Boy all the time.

Pretty much any Danny Baranowsky is gonna be good.

The theme song of Locoroco. Though the lyrics are in a made-up language, I can feel the desire for world peace in this song.

Tony Hawk was a big one. The EA sports games always have some bangers that get stuck in your head. One of my favorite video game moments, though, was bombing the tobacco fields to Bomba Estereo's "Fuego", in Far Cry 6. They employed music well, throughout, but that moment was really enveloping.

Chrono Cross ftw

Deep Stone Lullaby fro the Deep Stone Crypt raid in Destiny 2.

It’s an absolutely beautiful piece of music, but so much impactful more when tied to where it appears in the raid as you battle your way across the underside of the space station, all of the other sounds muffled by the vacuum of space.

I don’t know who the guy is, but this video of DrLupo playing it with an orchestra playing the track live while he does is pretty damned amazing.

Hands down, DOOM Eternal

This is going to be highly subjective.

For me, this may not be the best, but it's one of the more memorable soundtracks.

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, Manaan theme. https://youtu.be/CNe4XHbkEZA

Pretty much the entire Castlevania : Symphony of the night soundtrack... It's all so good. And nostalgic too. One of my favorite games, and favorite soundtracks.

Space Invaders

Killer 7 end credits https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgSroCxm3vA&ab_channel=KyleBrockman

My favorite is Dragon Age Origins, personally.

The really cool war chant for the Ostagar scene, Lelianna's Song, and the soundtrack of the Brecilian Forest are my favorite.
