What is your absolute favourite track from a video game?
-
It's nothing flashy, but I think my favorite track is "Vermillion wasteland" from Crosscode. It really sets the mood to one of the best experiences I've had in a video game period.
-
Baba Yetu from Civilization 2005 is the first video track to win a Grammy.
-
I almost always mute in-game music as the first step before even playing, sorry.
-
I could not even describe this song when I first heard it as a kid. As an adult, I realize this is the funkiest shit ever.

Song2 by Blur
wrote last edited by [email protected]Oh man, this comment just brought back a memory from decades ago of watching a Warthog-launching trick compliation video from the original Halo set to Song2. I haven't thought about that video in probably fifteen years.
Edit: Here's the video lol. Wow that was a blast from the past.
-
Tim Follin's music for the first level of Bionic Commando on C64. It sounds like coming up on acid.
-
Hidden character from Tekken 3
-
Alpha by C418 - The background music to the End Poem in Minecraft
Great pick. This track is transcendent.
If I had to choose one song, it would probably have to be Undertale from Undertale. The acoustic guitar brought me to tears. Honorable mentions to Rith Essa Mime from Jet Force Gemini, Stone Tower Temple from Majora's Mask, Smiles and Tears from Earthbound, Fear the Dark from Aquaria, and Ocean Planet Aquanid from Bomberman 64: The Second Attack.

That's the video game song that gets in my head the most.
Interestingly, despite how it's not as good of a song, I probably think about Want You Gone about as often as Still Alive. It doesn't really come through as a song, just the phrases. "Now I only want you gone." "You've got your short sad life left. [...] I'll let you get right to it."
I wish Want You Gone was more popular, because it's genuinely a better song and plays the relationship double entendre so well.

Shoutout to You Wouldn't Know, which rounds out the trilogy of songs.

Goodbye, my only friend
Oh, did you think I meant you?
That would be funny
If it weren't so sad

I'll give you two albums worth:
*Bastion OST
*Transistor OST
I'll add Hades OST, Supergiant generally do amazing soundtracks.
-
Unbreakable Determination from Ninja Gaiden.
-
Wet hands
-
Everyone is Someone in L.A /Tony Hawks American Wasteland

Ready to see The Rapunzel meme happened in real time?
I didn't like Hades.
-
The Trent Reznor music from Doom III. Gets my blood pumping, ready to fight!
The Halo theme is a close runner up.
-
Probably Stickerbush Symphony from Donkey Kong Country 2.
Lots of good Final Fantasy tracks from Nobuo Uematsu and Chrono Trigger/Cross ones from Yasunori Mitsuda too. But Stickerbush Symphony was the first video game music that really moved me, like more than your average SNES soundtrack. David Wise went hard on those Donkey Kong Country games.
That's one of my favorites! Also Aquatic Ambience from DKC. I used to pause the game on that level and just listen to the track.
-
There's so many good songs out there. I love the soundtrack for all the Kingdom hearts games, both games in the Chrono series, Minecraft, and Stardew Valley. My favorites would have to be the winter songs in Stardew.
-
Weird one - the labyrinth music from BotW. I used to listen to extended versions of that for hours at work, just to make things feel tense and intriguing.
wrote last edited by [email protected]That's how I feel about the Lost Woods theme in BotW.
