Probably has my favorite game soundtrack. These songs hit different walking though a post-apocalyptic world​

Man something was lost with the remake music. Going from Midi to full orchestra lost some of the charm from the original.

Not sure how popular this track is. I think it's overlooked by other Donkey Kong Country tracks.

Been playing a bit of Astro Story from Kairosoft, and the first time I heard this ost, I was instantly hooked. I just love how well it fits the space theme that I can almost picture a real life city with aliens and stuff roaming around.

I haven't played FF but I love the soundtrack! Rose of May is my recommendation.

Ooh I love this thread. I listen to a lot of video game music! I was obsessed with the Elder Scrolls music for a while. Also:

Luigi's Mansion 3 is a super fun game with a great theme that gets remixed in every level. My favorite was Castle McFrights:

Return of the Obra Dinn is a super cool indie game that was basically done by one person with an incredibly massive amount of talent. He wrote the music for the game as well and I found it to be very compelling:

Child of Light is a really cool indie turn-based RPG with very pretty music:

every song in this game is completely breath-taking, I'm sure someone has posted at-least one of their songs if not o m g it's just...~chef's kiss~ this is one of my favorites, the piano feels like you're running through a forest just exploring the unknown !

One of my faves from the Fire Emblem series. You can just feel the emotions the characters are going through just from listening to this song. The one minute buildup is pretty key too.

The n64 has so e amazing musics that are perfect for studying and concentration tasks

I absolutely love the unique flair that the Splatoon series soundtrack has. I'll share a few of my faves from the first game too as most people are probably pretty familiar with the sequel but not so much the first game. I love songs from both though.

First the original theme/battle song Splattack! I remember before the game came out they had this song looping on the Wii U eshop. I'm definitely guilty of leaving the shop open for an hour or so just to listen to this jam endlessly haha.

Spoiler: Splattack!

Next is the OG Splatfest battle theme. Unlike in Splatoon 2 there was only one theme so you were stuck listening to it all day long during Splatfests. It never got old for me though.

Spoiler: Ink Me Up

Next is something from the sequel game Spicy Calamari Inkantation. I like the original version just as much as the new version but I figured I'd throw a song from the newer game on here.

Spoiler: Spicy Calamari Inkantation

Finally a fave of mine from the Octo Expansion. I long how the one song seemlessly flows into the other.

Spoiler: Fly Octo Fly/Ebb and Flow

I love several other songs from this series too but those should be enough to give you a taste at least. Enjoy!

Omg this first music is amazing
I love the tracks with taiko drums
It makes the song vibrant and atbthe sane time creates a creepy/brutal vibe thats perfect for the Mk franchise
