Psychonauts 2. Peter McConnell only got better as the years went by.

Not a game, but you can’t go wrong with most of the Ocean’s Eleven-Thirteen soundtracks, if you like funky jazzy stuff.

Fire Emblem Fates, Telltale’s The Walking Dead, and Ocarina of Time are some of my favorite Soundtracks in my library

I didn’t expect to see hulshult up in here along with floating door.

The strafe soundtrack by toytree is also really nice

Since you already mentioned Final Fantasy (I assume that’s FF).

Halo 2
Nier:Automata
Undertale

Waveform ,

The Ys series OSTs, especially the PSP titles. Nice mix of metal and violin.

Hollow Night. The City of Tears track in particular.

Any covers made by Orchestral Fantasy on YouTube. He focuses mainly on classic 16-bit titles and pretty much nails each one.

Nice mix of metal and violin.

Juuuuust in case you’re not already familiar with symphonic metal… It’s pretty fuckin great.

Waveform ,

I do like symphonic metal, and that’s a great song… it gave me goosebumps. I’ll be sure to check out more of Blind Guardian’s work. Any other suggestions are welcome! Maybe stuff similar to Epica’s Omega album, and instrumental pieces similar to Essence of Datum, Mohamed Shawky, Rivers of Nihil, & Naxatras, if you’ve got the time :D

Blind Guardian is pretty hit-and-miss: their shit lands somewhere on a spectrum of metal to renaissance-faire lol. Sacred Worlds is another one of my favorites.

All of Metallica’s S&M album is solid fucking gold, but the best (imo) song from it almost never gets the spotlight, so it’s tragically easy to miss: No Leaf Clover

Avenged Sevenfold isn’t symphonic metal, but they’ve got two songs that at least dip their toes in that water: The Stage, and Little Piece of Heaven.

Epica

If you know Epica you’re probably already familiar with Nightwish, but in case your not… well, Nightwish. Most of their music is more similar to Omega than the one I’m about to link, but this specific song is just so fucking weird, I love it: Scaretale. Definitely check out their other songs too!

Essence of Datum / Naxayras

You’d probably like Pelican - kind of ambient rock. Or Russian Circles, which is similar but more mellow.

Mohamed Shawky

Not familiar, and the only Mohamed Shawky’s I’m seeing on YouTube are a physicist and an athlete. Judging entirely by the name, I’m guessing it’s got some Arabic vibes, and the best I’ve got there is the first one I linked, Wheel of Time, mostly because of the intro… Antti Martikainen has some Arabic sounding songs - that dude’s music is ALL over the place… I recall one being a kind of Arabic metal that I could have SWORN was called “Ancient Worlds” but searching that isn’t coming up with anything. He does have Arabic hybrid sci-fi music lol. Skim that dude’s channel, and brace for a musical roller coaster.

Rivers of Nihil

Hmm, maybe try Lorna Shore, especially Pain Remains. Lorna Shore is WAY too throaty-howler-monkey-shit for me personally, but fortunately they’ve got instrumental versions too.

I can provide some examples if you are looking for something specific but to list some games that haven’t been mentioned yet, there’s:

The Touhou games along with the remixes/covers and fan games like the two “Touhouvania” games.

Most of the Castlevania games.

Most of the Sonic games and fan games like Sonic After the Sequel and SRB2.

And to go with something really obscure, Chaos Legion.

callouscomic ,

Lots of Elder Scrolls and Elder Scrolls Online

Lots of Metal Gear stuff

Kingdoms of Amalur

Shadow of the Colossus

Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon (badass 80s music)

Assassins Creed 3

ExtraMedicated ,

I liked the music in La-Mulana 1&2.

otp ,

Donkey Kong Country, especially 2. From the original, I recommend Aquatic Ambience. But for DKC2, honestly let the OST play. There’s so many greats.

rustyricotta ,

Stickerbush Symphony the GOAT. But yes, so many great picks in here.

otp ,

That’s also my top pick!

cabron_offsets ,

Commenting here because I tend to enjoy game soundtracks and want to look these up.

I beat you to it, but not by much ;p

Rise of Nations soundtrack is fantastic sandis the only “video game music” that I semi-regularly listen to.

Especially check out “High Strung” that would always play in multiplayer whenever a player dropped a nuke on another player.
