Metroid II has a great soundtrack, often underrated.
of course
LISA or die
Yeah, Metroid's great, but...
This is fine
...
Not hating on the soundtrack, but I only realized a few months ago that most of the songs are the same, just played differently.
Bob-omb stage, secret slide stage, lost penguin stage, all the same song.
Based. Hotline 2 has a good soundtrack too, and they have the added bonus of being great games.

I always thought Portal 1 and 2’s OST were quite nice. Wish the composer had expanded on the ideas present there though, a lot of it feels like there wasn’t enough time to do everything.
Lots of motifs too, plus the procedural music aspect of it was neat.
Symphony Of The Night's soundtrack really hits that sweet spot for me where it's both very catchy but also has subtle somewhat complex elements that makes it engaging to listen to. The whole thing's surprisingly diverse, too.
Like listen to just even the beginning part of this: youtu.be
It sounds like it's some kinda weird psychedelic synth fuckery at start, but it's actually mallet percussion split in two different spots, strings split into two, an electric guitar, and a drum set that's achieving the sound. That drumset's mixed so well, too like all the drums on here; they aged pretty well like Dr. Dre's drums have on his better tracks.
No pic cuz Sup Forums won't let me upload one.
Silent Hill 2's top tier as well. Yoshi's Island is pretty underrated since I know people don't like that game as much as the ones around it in that mainline series, but it's fantastic.
Yuzo Koshiro - The Super Shinobi

there is nothing more nu male than listening to video game soundtracks
Obviously Mother's soundtracks are good since they were by Keiichi Suzuki
I don't really play a lot of video games, but the Silent Hill games always had great music, 3 especially. Street Fighter also has some great tracks also. I remember playing Street Fighter 3 3rd Strike on the Dreamcast with my little bro, game had some genuinely great drum n' bass.
Kingdom hearts
Persona 3,4, and 5 all had god tier soundtracks. The vast majority of the castlevania games had great soundtracks too.
lisa had a fucking terrible soundtrack
it has fucking stock drum samples from fl studio
Retard.

Spotted the cucks
This.
spotted the neckbeard nazi virgins
how about stop trying to derail a thread you retard
haven't you got something better to do
in the meantime, Nier Automata has some pretty stellar music, but it only works in the context of the game in my opinion
youtube.com
The fanbase is cancer and the game itself is pretty reddit but Fallen Down never fails to make me feel.
Grim Fandango
Toy Story 2
spyro

Look up leitmotif.
Speaking of Mario 64, pay attention to the percussion on this one
youtube.com
Halo 3 ODST has a pretty good soundtrack, I sometimes go back to it to listen to it's tracks
Why does it matter? Nobody complains when guitars sound the same
youtube.com
Don't mean to ruin everyone's party but you're all wrong.

No one ever mentions No More Heroes.
Guilty gear is a series where the characters ad music are designed by daisuke ishiwatari. He would then go on to compose the blazblue soundtrack.
His work sounds like a mix of black sabbath and J-rock. His stuff uses different kinds of music to represent different kinds of characters. Sol badguy's track has a queen motif.
youtube.com
Ky kiske's track has a judas priest motif.
youtube.com
There are other examples, but these are the most direct parallels.
My personal favorites:
Persona 5
Mineycrafta
Godhand has some good stuff
Killer is Dead
Rising Storm 2: Vietnam (IT AINT ME)
Quake
Doom 1, 2 (I prefer the midi originals but the remade versions are pretty good)
Doom 4
Crazy Taxi
THPS 1-4
Tony Hawk's American Wasteland
Erfbound
Yakuza
Great choice, but I think the first Metroid Prime is my favorite.

Also a great choice.
Excellent pick
Love the soundtrack in this game.
...
This shit bangs surprisingly hard, I like the sound of most Sega Genesis soundtracks
Is that the game that has that brilliant Mad Hatter boss fight? Really want to play it.

Brilliant game, brilliant soundtrack. This track always hits me right in the feels.
