Not nessesarily limited to games you completed/played as you can just look up soundtracks nowadays. And list your favorite song from that game.

But in terms of games I actually played or beat, I have to give it to Xenoblade Chronicles. So many incredibly well crafted songs . My favorite is "Mechonis Field" . Some other great songs are "Sword Valley," "Satorl Marsh-Night," "You will Know Our Names," "To the Last Battle"


Perhaps the best thing is , there is so much variety in the tracks , it was hard to pick a single "Favorite."


Even though Xenoblade has the best overall soundtrack, If I had to pick one song from any video game ever that I liked the most would have to be "Corridors of Time" from Chrono Trigger.

What Game Has the Best Soundtrack In Your Opinion?


It's a toss-up between the TWEWY (The World Ends With You), the Xenoblade Chronicles, and the Persona 5 soundtracks for me, I think.

Why?

Well, just take a listen to them and you'll see. ^^;;

That's a hard one...

Final Fantasy 9 has got to be the one I feel most nostalgia for.
Quacamelee is energetic is exotic, I really like the feel of the music it has.

Oh, your right Rewrite definetely does have really good soundtrack (but I've never played the game).
I don't know about Persona 3 PS2 version because I've never played it but Persona 3 Portable (female mc) does have pretty good soundtrack.

If you played Rewrite, you can definitely tell how really good Rewrite OSTs are. They always fit to the main theme of the story and the scenes all the time. On the anime, they're usually shortened so their OSTs are underwhelming on anime version.

On P3, there are mixed P4 OSTs(I think 2 or 1) if you play as the FeMC but there's nothing different between PS2 version and FeMC's POV except the generic battle OST IIRC. Although I prefer the FeMC's generic battle OST more than the original.

Bloodborne is a close second though, the soundtrack is just so on point with the game's atmosphere.

Super Smash Bros Brawl, but only because it has a large share of soundtracks from other games.

But about only one game i can't decide between Sonic CD x Sonic Mania.

Zelda: Wind Waker honestly. This is a tough question because there's a lot of great music from a lot of great games but I feel like Wind Waker has the highest ratio of amazing to good/okay tracks.

World of Warcraft - Eversong Woods (the Blood Elf race starting area). Especially where the violin starts

I sometimes find myself replaying that soundtrack even for an hour... it's a tragic soundtrack, that has even more meaning and power if you know about the tragic history and the recent past of that race.

Seriously, it gives you a feeling of immersion in the game like nothing else

For me it's NieR: Automata by a long shot, not only because of the quality of the music itself (the OST is pretty much one of my most listened albums of all time by this point), but also because of the way it is integrated into the game. Other favourites would include the original Nier, Undertale, Persona 4 & 5, Cuphead, Bloodborne, Transistor, System Shock 2, Pokémon Emerald, Night in the Woods, and, of course, the Touhou series (!).

I don't like Chrono Cross and I've never understood why people like it and defend it so much. It has interesting ideas but it falls flat in just about every single one of them thanks to the game trying to do everything at once with a laughably obvious limited budget and not being remarkable in any particular area as a result of it.

That said the game has one hell of a soundtrack that strikes all of the right notes at all the right moments.



again, shame the rest of the game is wank.

On that note Sonic 06 and Wet also have some killer soundtracks.

I've been in love with the Cuphead soundtrack ever since it came out, the music is just so fitting with the game, it's something I would jam to in my free-time.

I'm also in love with The Red Strings Club soundtrack, and the Orwell soundtrack, because they're very relaxing yet intense at the same time, which I like.

I haven't gotten around to playing Kingdom Hearts yet but I've been listening to the music for years.

Hard to pick one favorite! Others I like:
FFX, III, and IV all have songs I love a lot
Xenoblade (I enjoy the whole soundtrack but the title theme will always be my favorite)
Persona 5
Nier:Automata
Undertale
Ori and the Blind Forest
and in lieu of picking a single Zelda game I'll just include the franchise as an entry. Hyrule Castle theme and the main theme from BoTW were real good.

"The Boy's Got Wings" is a good one. I also really like "Be Careful," and "Valestein Castle." Both are from Ys III: Wanderers from Ys, and the Genesis/Mega Drive port is my favorite. I find that the FM sounds of the Genesis really nice for that type of music.

Regarding the first two Ys games, "First Step Towards Wars" and "Subterranean Canal" are probably my favorites from them.

Nice, I might have to check out all the soundtracks again and pick out some new faves. I have high hopes for the new Switch game too, though I prefer the older games from the franchise tbh (the newer ones are still great).

For me it is World of Warcraft, no contest. Words can't describe how I feel about it's OST. WoW's OST can make you feel any emotion human can have.

Here are some examples out of many great songs:
Ashenvale music
Mulgore music
Grizzly Hills music
Ulduar music
Watcher On The Wall
Invincible
Arthas, My Son

Other games with masterpiece soundtracks would be Witcher 3, Nier:Automata, Half Life 2, Portal 2, Skyrim, Rome Total War, Medieval 2 Total War, Transistor, Bastion...

I love both Baten Kaitos OSTs. Motoi Sakuraba's compositions tend to get a bit repetitive (particularly with the Tales games), but I found his Baten Kaitos works to be some of his best.
