I’ve got a few so I’ll kick us off.
Outer Wilds
I listen to this one an awful lot, and from start to finish, which is pretty rare for me when it comes to soundtracks. The song ‘14.3 Billion Years’ still gets me even today and the games main theme is one or the more memorable bits of gaming music I’ve ever encountered.
Return of the Obra Dinn
Atmosphere. The music goes an awful long way to setting a games atmosphere and this soundtrack is no different. I can’t necessarily listen to this on repeat like Outer Wilds, but when I do listen to it I’m immediately catapulted back to being on that damn ship.
Tearaway
This one is just disgustingly charming in a way that only a game for a Media Molecule game could be.
For soundtracks that I constantly listen to outside of gaming. It’s got to be racing games and action sport games that take the cake.
The likes of:
NFS Underground 1 & 2
NFS Most Wanted
Forza Horizon 1, 2 & 4 (not yet played 3)
Dirt 2 & 3
Tony Hawks 1, 2, 3, 4, Underground 1 & 2, 1+2
SSX Tricky, SSX (reboot)
Jet Set Radio & Future
Here’s some curated playlists of such games that I’ve made:
Sonic 2 - Chemical plant zone
I love that song too. There’s a really good remix on YouTube which I sometimes listen to while walking or driving.
That’s pretty good. The one I like best (so far) is this one.
Nier Automata
Rimworld is fantastic too.
Cyberpunk has a great collection to hit shuffle on Spotify.
Haven’t played the game but have added several of its bangers to my techno playlists. Epic stuff
