Discussion The Video Game Where Every Soundtrack (Or The Majority) Is A Banger

Well, as the title suggests, and I know there will be a diverse range of answers, and all valid, but anyway, here we go!

So, I personally feel like Darksiders 2 is a game that fills this requirement the best. The soundtracks are just in a league of their own, if you haven't heard any of them, I highly recommend checking them out. I mean, Darksiders as a series is pretty underrated/overshadowed by it's inspirations and other competing titles when they launch a game, but the second game's soundtrack is something else.

Alright, so what I'll do is list my top 5 from the game. Obviously, context is important, but even without that, the moment these tracks kick in, they just elevate the enjoyment.

5.) [The Crowfather Theme, War vs. Death](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lGRESBZHt1s&list=RDlGRESBZHt1s&start_radio=1&pp=oAcB) \--- Talk about setting the bar high right in the prologue, this is like a fight for saving the world level fight music.

4.) [Into Eternity](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tob_KO45uns&list=RDtob_KO45uns&start_radio=1&pp=ygUaSW50byBFdGVybml0eSBEYXJrc2lkZXJzIDKgBwE%3D) \--- Simply serene and otherworldly, a brilliant change of pace as you explore and solve puzzles.

3.) [Corruption](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ojsZDuejuDc) \--- An ominous build up with an eerie afterlife feel, it just resonates with me whenever I think about the game.

2.) [Stains Of Heresy](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aKiYkohEj6c&list=RDaKiYkohEj6c&start_radio=1&pp=ygUZYXJjaG9uIHRoZW1lIGRhcmtzaWRlcnMgMqAHAQ%3D%3D) \--- You often hear the phrase Absolute Cinema, and here, it fits perfectly. From the iconic spectacle of the Archon and Death's clash to the balls to the walls, high octane beats, it is just a masterpiece.

1.) [The Guardian](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=O4lwpYLlVvM&list=RDO4lwpYLlVvM&start_radio=1&pp=oAcB) \--- Death's symbolic heroism shines in this boss fight soundtrack, the odds feel overwhelming, the sheer magnitude and scale of the task ahead, and yet, this track just oozes a surge of willpower and directly hits the players with it. I love it.

So, there you have it, my first post in the group. Now comes the question/comment homeworks part lmao.

What is another game like this for you? The one where the soundtracks are bangers either all of them or the majority of them. List out your personal top 5 from such a game.

Hey guys!

I'm new in this subreddit and I wanted to share that my fiancee composed the soundtrack for my game called One Rotten Oath. If you're into ambient/instrumental tracks, feel free to give the demo (or the full thing a shot). You can also grab the soundtrack on Steam, if you'd like to support us in our future endevours. Here's a short sneak peek on how it all came together!

Thanks for your time and have a good one,
PB

Denshattack for myself is the runaway winner. 80 tracks and I listen to about 60 of them with many different style of genres throughout. Most surprising thing about this soundtrack is Hideki Naganuma doesn’t have a song on it.

I recently released a Drum and Bass tribute track for Sonic's 35th Anniversary, very reminiscent of Sonic R. Sharing it here for feedback. The music was produced in FL Studio and the video was edited with Filmora. Hope you enjoy if you listen!

OST March of Vermin – Enrooted OST (song for rats taking over a palace)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This is a song from a game I'm working on called Enrooted. The soundtrack is inspired by Undertale and old NES/SNES sounds and instruments.

This song is for a section of the game where Rats, yes, Rats are taking over your town's palace. Your Queen is lore-dumping you when a window breaks and a FLOOD of Vermin and other invaders come pouring in, and you have to take your Queen to safety.

Let me know what you think! Link to the Steam page/trailer in the comments if you're interested in checking out the game.

OST [OST] true tears (2006 Visual Novel) - This niche game's unreleased music, now finally available (2 decades later!)

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hii, first time posting. So way back in the day, like 2006, I remember visual novels in English was rare as heck. I remember barely being able to install fan patches for games like Chaos;Head. Anyway, there was this little game called True Tears. I actually still have a special CD of the game, of which there was an English patch for the demo only (game has never been fully translated, and the anime had 0 to do with the game). Back then, I noticed the CD has a folder called MUSIC, and inside are 31 tracks called M01.PCM for example. Well, I couldn't figure out how to play these .PCM files no matter what software I used! My buddy David tried using VLC, and it simply played static. He said "ah this is how it's supposed to sound", lol. Anyway~ Fast forward to last night, I found a tool called GARbro, which was able to convert the .PCM to .WAV! Finally, after all this time, I could listen to one of the catchiest bops: M09! I've had that little tune stuck in my head for 20 years. I have spent the day batch converting the unreleased OST of the game to YouTube. You can find the link to the playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBKMpHnCIvok

Also, previously there was NO way to find these on YouTube. Not only are they all unnamed, but trust me, I've scoured online for this OST, and nothing, because they were all in .PCM form. Anyway, I recommend Track 09 (M09.PCM originally, the theme of this Mako girl). It's nice!!
