I just love all the music in the .hack series, from the haunting Hulle Granz Cathedral choir to the desktop background in GU. It’s all great, even random dungeon music.

Shin Megami tensei 4, have 20 battle themes and the 20 themes are awesome IMO.
So .hack is a show about people playing a video game right? In the game am I playing a character playing a character, or does the game treat me like I’m its version of a player and I just create an avatar?
Some of the best soundtracks from my childhood are SIGN/ROOTS and the 2 game series.
Really wish they didn’t let the series die on portable and would gladly welcome a return of the franchise.
ARK SURVIVAL EVOLVED
Kinda a game but not really. The Binding of Isaac:Antibirth
Sea shanty 2 for the osrs players out there
Ngl Fortnite original soundtrack was eerily and dope though
Mass Effect 2
Both the soundtrack and the score for Spec Ops: The Line.
Deep Rock Galactic has an amazing soundtrack, and it was made for free by a hobbyist! On top of every other good thing about Deep Rock, the soundtrack is one of them
The soundtrack for the .hack//SIGN anime is also criminally underrated. The show itself isn’t the most exciting but the music alone is worth watching for.
All the Braverly Default games
Dmc Devil May Cry and Yugioh The Duelists Of The Roses to name two
Payday 2. Simon Viklund is a damn genius!
Baten Kaitos on the gamecube was such a weird and wonderful RPG that doesnt get talked about enough for how unique and fun it’s card system was. And it also had a beautiful soundtrack, arguably one of the best of any non-first-party Nintendo game on the console.
No More Heroes. [The main theme](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThXV6T-Pq9k) is already banging.
They then flipped it into [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-V8htEtAYI) for the second game.
Then flipped it again for the [spinoff](https://youtu.be/VOHG__d2r-o?list=PLmf1tLLV3DxdcxGVqL8J1VwmwDlt84bPK)
Not to mention each game flipped it multiple times within the game itself.
1. Mh1? [Cashmere Cannonball.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EApn11lFfE)
2. Mh2? [Outer rim Remix](https://youtu.be/-nEbwaz5KDs?list=PLqoToE6_oDGuqGsDps8LMm0nOHSiv9AD3)

bangin soundtrack all around
Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2 both have amazing music.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monster Coliseum had no business being that good.
Does anyone ever talk about Persona 3 or 4? I’m obsessed with those soundtracks. (Only saying this cause I mostly see people talk about P5)
Path of Exile OST.
Yuki Kajiura is literally the GOAT
Civilization’s music is somehow both reputed (first video game song to win a Grammy) and underrated, as it almost never comes up in discussions about incredible game soundtracks; and when it does come up, all people ever talk about is Christopher Tin.
Christopher Tin deserves high praise for Baba Yetu and Sogno di Volare, but Geoff Knorr also deserves praise for the way he incorporated folk music and folk instruments into the series. His theme for the Cree is simultaneously respectful of tradition yet innovative; the theme for America is gorgeous, the theme for Gaul is fantastic. The entire soundtrack–not just the title theme–is amazing.
ATV2 will forever remain unbeaten
Castlevania soundtracks
No man’s sky’s soundtrack really captures the wonder of discovery and exploration
The world ends with you and Stardew Valley have really good soundtracks same with the Guilty Gear franchise, but I’m unsure if it’s ‘something no
One talks about’
Goldeneye 64
Just seeing this image, the music just started to rush into my head.
.hack//G.U. is still one of my favorite stories, and has some of my favorite songs.
Into the Breach is an indie game that hardly anyone I know has played and even fewer people have talked about, but it has a great and unique soundtrack full of catchy ambient themes that get used as background music by big Youtubers ALL the time
Jet Force Gemini.
.hack walked so Sword Art could crawl.
Extreme G
It was my first taste of techno-like music
MapleStory. Super relaxing and nostalgic!
Streets of rage 2, tmnt turtles in time & freedom fighters
.hack sign has one of the best anime soundtrack in my opinion. Yuki Kajiuri knocked it out of the park.
Quake. Hands down.
Bloodborne’s soundtrack is fantastic, but I feel it was talked a lot about in 2015.
Warcraft 3 has easily one of my favorite soundtracks and I think is overlooked cause WoW.
However, Donkey Kong Country transports me back to my childhood.
Wipeout 2097/WipeoutXL soundtrack is very underrated in terms of what it achieved at the time. Bringing licensed electronic music to a game. Racing to ‘Firestarter’ from that ‘band’ The Prodigy on MTV was streets ahead. couple that with the fact you could just chuck the game disc in most CD players and listen to the soundtrack was so mind blowing for this 90s kid. Shit that game even did system link play a whole generation before Original Xbox.
– Ace Combat
– Monster Hunter
Risk of Rain 2 is one of my all time favorites
Nier the original has what is probably the best soundtrack I have ever heard, it’s so damn good.🔥
Crysis 2
I was almost certain it would have been mentioned, case in point! I’m not sure people even knew it was Hans Zimmer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGpFd6FlT3k
I should also say it wasn’t Hans Zimmer alone, but he did the main theme and many other tracks. Another notable composer on Crysis 2 was Borislav Slavov who you may recently recognize composed Baldur’s Gate III.
I think Crisis 1 had a pretty good soundtrack too (composed by Inon Zur), but I think C2 was another level.
Second to this I’d say Dragon Age: Origins, by Inon Zur. At least, I never see anyone talk about it. It was sad they didn’t give him enough time to shine with DA2 and even sadder that made him not want to work with them on DAI or BioWare again at all in the future.

Edit: A couple more people don’t seem to talk about much, likely because they’re older…
Perfect Dark

And Donkey Kong Country
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HV1Z0soVFI&list=PLKNuUcvZGX21obTJzXuVHUWRcS2cCBBsP&index=19&pp=iAQB8AUB
Like holy shit, that’s a Super Nintendo song. A whole new level from games like Super Mario World (which still has great music of course), and I think it sort of set a precedent for what we hear in a lot of games going forward.
I think Final Fantasy always had stellar composition, but it still remained very “video gamey” for the lack of a better term
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
Amon Tobin touched the sky with that masterpiece
