Guild wars 2 has so much variety i would not know where to start. Would just search it on youtube and find the fitting mood i guess.

The Dustforce OST maybe? www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBB4108C5CB4E1DD6

Same artist who did the music for TUNIC. While its soundtrack isn’t great to listen to alone in my opinion, it is phenomenal in game. To the point where watching the trailer gives me goosebumps.

Also, I emailed the artist once to ask permission to use the Dustforce soundtrack in a YouTube video I was making. They gave me permission and I sent the video to them when it was posted and they said very nice things about it.

Super Meat Boy - Ballad of the burning squirrel

Super Meat Boy - Forest Funk

Super Meat Boy - Betus Blues

The composer for Super Meat Boy has done lots of great tracks for Binding of Isaac and Crypt of the Necrodancer too (Danny Baranowsky)

Enter the Gungeon - Abbey or Die

Enter the Gungeon - Behold the Boss Eater

Enter the Gungeon - Boss Battle Beating

Metal Gear solid theme

Nine Sols - Collage

Hades soundtrack (all of it) + if you search for the composer (Darren Korb) then you’ll find loads more great soundtracks he’s done (notably for Bastion).

Hollow Knight soundtrack (all of it + the piano cover version)

Street Fighter 6 - Viator (theme for Ryu + there’s a real cool metal cover that is on YouTube by an indie metal band)

Wipeout HD soundtrack (all of it)

Super Hexagon (all 3 tracks)

Hotline Miami soundtrack

Lots of people have rightly mentioned FTL

Frank Kelpacki has done tons of great soundtracks across the whole Command and Conquer series and it’s worth searching through.

If you’re into chip tunes, then it is also worth checking out Streets of Rage 2 soundtrack.

In case you haven’t noticed, I’m really into video game instrumentals. If anyone else is interested, there’s a great podcast called Sound of Gaming by BBC radio 3 that is worth going through the back catalogue of episodes.

Super Meat Boy’s OST slaps. I decided to check it out after realizing it was from the same guy that made Crypt of the Necrodancers OST.

I then spent hours trying to figure out where I’ve heard “Hot Damned” before. It was Siivagunner.

The Battlefield V soundtrack is pretty great, in my opinion.

Hardspace: Shipbreaker has a beautiful ambient folk vibe:

I was wondering if anyone else enjoyed this soundtrack. I love it!

I have listened to Rimworld, Disco Elysium, and EVE Online's soundtrack while working. Though it's probably my emotional attachment to EVE more than anything lol

dubyakay ,

The Eve Symphonic Orchestra is so good though.

vonxylofon ,

That nobody mentioned Transport Tycoon Deluxe is criminal. I recommend the live-action version recorded for the mobile release: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuJy9oCdUns

dubyakay ,

OpenTTD Downtown Cab Ride is a masterpiece!

Zahille7 ,

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.

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

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

hitagi ,

ATM I love the soundtracks of:

  • Civilization 6
  • Genshin Impact
  • Persona 3
  • Rimworld (+ P-music mod)

Severed Steel (Chewing Glass Pt 1 and 2 by Floating Door)

BONEWORKS (BONETONES by Michael Wyckoff)

Hotline Miami (various EPs and singles by Various Artists)

Elite: Dangerous (Elite: Dangerous OST by Erasmus Talbot)

Dusk (Dusk OST by Andrew Hulshult)

Amid Evil (Amid Evil OST by Andrew Hulshult)

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

Sterile_Technique , (edited )
@Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world avatar

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.
