Your favorate modern game soundtracks?

[Melooon]

Recently Iv been listening to The Wild At Heart soundtrack a lot, its got a super swooshy synth sound that I like at lot!

A slightly older one I really enjoyed was the Child of Light soundtrack:

What are some modern game soundtracks you enjoy?

[Karius]

Oof, it's hard not flooding this topic with replies...

The OST for the Splatoon series would be my top pick- especially the second one!
Minecraft also has excellent music.

As for indie titles, I love the Hypnospace Outlaw OST. Oh, and I recently discovered the Demon Turf series, great jams there as well!

[neoratz]

i agree with karius, splatoon's soundtrack just gets better and better with each addition! i'm really looking forward to the music of splatoon 3. it's already sounding good! one of my favorite songs is entropical. i love the ingame lore for this band too... they use a vocal synth based on recordings of extinct humans!?

The hylics soundtrack was made by some guy with guitars, synths and dreams and it's the best thing ever

Also, japanese breakfast did an amazing soundtrack for sable, really nice ambient that makes me feel like a merchant living in the middle of the desert.

I cant remember If I posted about it somewhere, but Iv really been enjoying Sable recently, I think I teared up a little when that opening song came up

journey's soundtrack has always been one of my very favorites

Oh man, Hypnospace Outlaw's got really good music! I like how, if you buy the OST, some of the in-game musicians are given a separate "album" with a unique cover. The Splatoon series has album covers for its artists, and out-of-game lore you can read about online. I love it when games do that. You know the devs love music when they go that far. ('u':wink:

OMORI's got a lot of really good songs in there, and it's got plenty to offer. I find myself listening to it in a variety of contexts, whether I'm wanting some upbeat music to do chores to, or when I want to vibe out while writing something dramatic or tense. That level of versatility and quality is very impressive. One of my favorite tracks, "Snow Forest - A Single Flower Blooms", is a great example of the game's calm atmosphere.

My favourite video game soundtrack is the OST for Gravity Rush.I especially like the lyrical songs.

[Memory]

Is Mass Effect still considered modern? Probably not, but I love the Blade Runner-esque vibes of the music. I actually owned the soundtrack years before I owned the game. Plus, "M4 Pt. 2" is by a band from Edmonton so it has the home team advantage.

I've been wracking my brain trying to think of a more recent game soundtrack that I like, but the best I can come up with is the soundtracks for Bastion and Transistor. They're still not very recent, but the music is amazing.

Portal 2: the part where he kills you

Portal 2 is the reason why "Exile Vilify" by The National was one of the first songs I learned on piano. Now if only I could play and sing at the same time.

Skullgirls OST by a long shot

[TheFrugalGamer]

Oh man, there are so many. Here's one I always recommend when the subject comes up, though: if you're into jazz/funk, the de Blob soundtracks are just the best:

One of the more memorable soundtracks to me in the past year is definitely the Shin Megami Tensei V OST, with incredibly atmospheric music all around. Here's the main battle theme:

I also really like the sorrowful Tokyo theme this game has, immediately went when I heard it for the first time:

Another of the many battle tracks:

There's countless more tracks I could recommend but then this post would be much, much longer than it already is lol

[bugholder's epiphany]

Two games right now have been on my mind as far as modern video game tracks. Ultrakill and Sonic Frontiers.

Ultrakill

Sonic Frontiers

[WingsOfImagination]

You can never go wrong with Guilty Gear Xrd OST!
