Dear patient lemmings, I am in need of your help. I’m searching for games that have some GOD DAAMN OSTs and come with a great story or/and gameplay.
Games that tick these requirements for me:
- Danganronpa 1/2/V3 + Ultra Despair Girls (most recently finished)
- Persona 4/5 (waiting for Persona 3 remaster)
- NFS Most Wanted (2005, 2012), Carbon, ProStreet
- Doom 2016, Eternal
- Test Drive Unlimited 2
- Life is Strange
- Ace Combat 7
- Omori
- ULTRAKILL
Halo 1-3, GTA 3, VC & san Andreas. Tony hawks early games. Final fantasy 7,8 & 9. Tekken 2
Xenoblade 1
Xenoblade X
Xenoblade 2
Xenoblade 3
- Hotline Miami (obviously)
- Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven - a serious one but still slaps
- Subnautica - when you sub is on fire
- TES: Oblivion
- Lineage 2, I especially like the Dion theme. It’s an old MMORPG though so when it comes to the question of a great story and/or gameplay… well I wouldn’t recommend it lol. Even though I’ve spent a lot of hours in that game
My choices are the following:
- Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor - Good guitar riffs and it fits the mood of the game
- Brutal Legend - Lots of music, lots. Ozzy Osbourne is in the game
- Final Fantasy 8 - I think it had a memorable soundtrack
- Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - The original radio stations were great in this game.
Some games with soundtracks I particularly enjoyed over the last couple years:
- A Hat in Time - a cute, fun collect-a-thon platformer with a kickass soundtrack. This one is particularly fun to play and hits nostalgia vibes for the early 3D Mario games.
- Shantae and the Seven Sirens - 2D platformer with an energetic chiptune-y soundtrack. The game itself is OK, but the soundtrack is what really made this one for me.
- Paradise Killer - vaporwave inspired surreal murder mystery
- Subnautica - underwater survival and crafting game with a soundtrack that set the mood very well
- Demons Roots - 18+ RPGMaker game where you lead a demon uprising to reclaim the surface world, invading country after country freeing slaves as you go. Very dark game that is unusually good for the type of game it is. If you’re not put off by the RPGMaker doujin wabi-sabi and are tolerant of adult content in games this one is worth a look. There are some absolute bangers in the soundtrack.
- Pyre - Lord of the Rings meets 3v3 basketball with a very enjoyable soundtrack by Darren Korb (Bastion).
