Also happens to be the best Civ overall IMO.

And now for something more heart-rending.

I don't think there's much that captures overcoming insurmountable odds (yes that's an oxymoron, fuck you) like this.

Especially at 3:14.

I'm posting this last one as a "technicality" in that it is actually part of a game's OST, but it's an (amazing) cover of it, not the original.

I forget if this was posted, probably was with all the FFX stuff I see but fuck it

The Fascinating Flower Country from Bravely Default is one I like. I like the classical guitar.

ODSTs over SPARTANs any day of the year.

The sing-along version and the lyrics make the song more emotionally biting.

Say what you want about Detroit: Become Human. I personally liked Connor's storyline and music. This song adds to the tension of the interrogation scene, especially the piano parts. INB4 28 Stab Wounds.

I didn't feel that impressed with RDR2's soundtrack, though I think I may have just had too high of standards. Two songs that did stand out in a big way were these:

A weird discovery I've had earlier today: there are two obscure games called Creatures 2 that have nothing to do with each other, and they both have some pretty neat soundtracks:

Grand Theft Auto III's Rise FM was unique to the series, being the only progressive trance station overall. Nothing ever really came close afterwards, due to the genre in real life kind of fizzling out after the early 2000s; even Liberty City Stories' own Rise.FM was more a general electronic/dance station. Rise was mixed by one of the cofounders of Rockstar itself, using a handful of licensed tracks, half of which were made by the same guys - A Christian band, ironically enough (fuck yeah). You'd never hear these songs anywhere else, so they are, for all intents and purposes, video game music.

Speaking of other rave style songs in video games:

Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space, when you go to Stuttgart, Germany and meet the flamboyant vampire who runs a club:
Jared Emerson-Johnson - New Location Unlocked (Midtown Remix)

Disgaea 1, right at the beginning of the final chapter:
Tenpei Sato - Planet X

In the Groove 2, one of the playable songs in the game:
Smiley - Destiny

Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 4, one of the songs you hear while driving:
Yuzo Koshiro - Taillight

And for some high-energy chiptunes:

Monty on the Run (C64)'s theme song

Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?!! First level theme

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, the Game: First level theme

I'm hoping with the Contra collection released more people take note of its soundtrack because its god tier.

Might have been posted, but it's a great piece of music right before one of the saddest parts of the game

 

[PL 001]

One of my favorites from the oldschool Castlevania games.

I'm right at the end of Rhythm Heaven Megamix and I think I found my favorite song in the entire series:
