    Not much beats Christopher Larkin's work on Hollow Knight.







    And Silksong's OST is promising to get even better.




    I have to restrain myself from posting the entire OST

    Tho there might just be one thing.





    Other strong pieces I've heard:







    The topic is full of big names, and small indies are pulling all the weight.

    This sounds like a great thread for anyone interested in game music! The soundtrack of "Stray" really adds a lot to the atmosphere and immersion of the game, so I'm excited to share and discuss it here. I’ve also noticed how game music, particularly from unique games like "Stray," really enhances the emotional experience. I’m sure there are many more people here who can relate to that! Looking forward to interacting with you all and hearing about your favorite gaming music experiences.

    Can't believe nobody has mentioned Outer Wilds yet. A one-of-a-kind game, with a truly stellar soundtrack that elevates the experience.

    In no small part responsible for getting me into making music.

    Playing this as a kid on ps1, it definitely had a different, more sombre atmosphere and it was largely due to music.

    Take a listen to e.g. tracks Dimensional Temple, Creepy Caverns, Spirit Bog, or Gorgon.

    These games soundtracks on Playstation sparked my interest in electronic music when I was a kid, like many I assume.
    OST's from Megadrive (Genesis) games such as Sonic, Street of Rage 2, Shinobi 3 or Earthworm Jim where good but this was "Real" Music.

    Edit : GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas on the PS2 all deserve a spot for allowing kids to discover a lot of classics.
