Forums - Gaming Discussion - Best video game soundtrack

Whats your most favorite all time best video game soundtrack, where every song is pretty much a masterpiece.

For me there's so many I find music is a big part of games, it can make or break a good game. Some of my favs would be MGS music, FFVII (all the spin offs, especially crisis core), Burnt Paradise.

FFVII crisis core

MGS4

Burnout paradise

The GTA and SSX series have the best soundtracks imo, it's all licensed music, but it's all awesome. Out of those series the best games for music are GTA: VC and SSX 3, though admittedly the latter hasn't aged well, but it was great at the time.

edit: Adding my favourite songs from each game!

GTA:

SSX:



Halo, Mass Effect & The Legend of Zelda are the top 3 franchises with stellar music imo.



Guitar Hero: World Tour


Jk, for me it's probably Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie. Pretty much all of their soundtrack was pure gold, and keeps popping up in my head from time to time. Followed by either the Metroid Prime- or Halo series.



Its really hard to pick just one. Here are my favorites.

Halo
FFX
Kingdom Hearts
Shenmue
OOT

SUPER MARIO GALAXY 2!!!!!
!Magnìfico!!¡¡



 Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.

Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash

Always been fond of FFVIII's music. The piano versions of the OST are great!



Super Mario Galaxy series and pretty much every mainline Mario game including the 2D ones:

Xenoblade, it's the only RPG that I've played where every single song was good:

^That's probably the best field music I've ever heard, all the other songs in the game are phenomenal as well.

Shadow of the Colossus is another game where every sond was good:

Honorable mentions go to the Zelda, Final Fantasy and Pokemon series.
