I’ll start it off - Legend of Dragoon has my heart with this one

Outer Wilds takes the cake for me.
That game takes the soundtrack cake for any category it has an entry in
Morrowind, hands down
I liked the music from Morrowind so much, I found the audio files in the game’s install folder, burned them to a CD, and printed out my own cover art to make a soundtrack album. I was 11 years old; I probably still have it in a box somewhere, haha.
The entire discography is on YouTube I remember ripping off there years ago.
Kingdom Hearts main menu theme. It’s absolutely a nostalgia hit for me. That game was one of my “get-away” games while in a rough situation. Hearing that music always makes me feel a little safer, like I’m just one step away from a completely different life.
Dearly Beloved and the variations on it are the best. I’m partial to the version for Kingdom Hearts 2 but they’re all great
Skyrim, by a longshot. That theme never failed to get me cranked to get my Nordic adventuring on.
HAH. HUAH. HAHH.
HAH. HUAH. HAHH.
OOOhhhh OHHHHH OUHHHHHH!!! AUHHHHHHH!!!
Saw this pop up in my replies before I noticed the context and was very confused… lol
Really deep lyrics. A masterpiece of poetry.
Pretty much any halo has the best menu music to me (I haven’t played 5 though).
There’s a lot of variety between them all too
Civ 4: Baba Yetu
Such a fantastic song. Not at all surprising that it was the first piece of music from a video game to not only be nominated for but to win a Grammy.
For me it’s Civ 5’s theme, always gives me chills
I’ll go with Mass Effect, the music in the first 3 games is incredible. Especially in the first game I think. This particular piece is called Vigil.
Dude, I only just played the games for the very first time earlier this year and I absolutely feel what you mean. It’s the very first piece of music you hear when you start the game, is used throughout the trilogy in pivotal moments, and is the very last theme that plays in the third game. So awesome
Mass Effect
Yeah, there are newer versions, but I deliberately found the original.
Elden Ring’s main theme is literally the only video game song I have in my normal music rotation.
But only because Lunar Silver Star Story’s Wings isn’t on Spotify.
I love the Lunar SSS intro, but I’m still partial to the OG Sega CD intro. It gets me pumped up to this day.
Unreal Tournament 2004:
Payday 2 really sets the mood with it’s music
Definitely the original main menu music for Dragon’s Dogma.
I remember booting it up on the PS3 back in the day and was like “Wha-?” but after playing the game so many times it’s definitely become a favorite. Both for how out of place it is but also how perfect it fits after all the context of the game.
Sad they replaced it for the Dark Arisen version but luckily there is a mod for PC that restores it in all its glory. :P
Literally the first thing that came to kind. Any time I go to start anything im excited about my brain just starts up the piano.
Woah, wasn’t expecting to see this answer here! OMF is my favorite one hands down.
A close second would be the music for Jazz Jackrabbit.
That one was so good.
Haven’t played this game in decades but instantly started hearing the song in my head when I saw your post.
