Gotta go with Prince of Persia really sticks out to me the one I like the most.

FF7 and FF8. Can't go wrong with Nobuo Uematsu.







... among many others

Also, played this indie game, "12 is better than 6". It had a remarkably good soundtrack. Alternating between flamenco, instrumental rock, and metal/blues.

Unreal Tournament 2003.


Warhammer Online.

 

[VanteMMA]

Legacy of Kain



Witcher 3



Devil May Cry 3

 

[Oku]

Jeremy Soule's work in the Elder Scrolls series is probably my favorite out of all video game soundtracks. It's so damn immersive

[Dizzy]

And, of course:

Shit taste in teams but great taste in music.

Castlevania SOTN
Mega man 3
Donkey kong country 2
Lost odyssey

May not be the best in terms of "aesthetic quality" or whatever... but I like Killing Floo/Killing Floor 2 soundtrack. Ruthless brutality as you kill zombies. Definitely gets you in the mood for violence and carnage.

 

[Madmick]

Castlevania SOTN
Mega man 3
Donkey kong country 2
Lost odyssey

GOAT melody for a theme song, hands down. It invokes electronica and smoke-lounge jazz in the same measures. 8 bits: 8 tracks, 8 simultaneous tones. That's all it is given. Virtually nothing. Never has a soundtrack done more with less. It's a masterstroke of musical inspiration.



No theme song has as much potential for sophistication in arrangement and treatment:

Skellige music nearly brought me to tears in Witcher 3. Bloodborne DLC boss music is also epic.

 

[Hitman81]

Red Dead Redemption
