A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
No memes please.
Dear patient lemmings, I am in need of your help. I'm searching for games that have some GOD DAAMN OSTs and come with a great story or/and gameplay.
Games that tick these requirements for me:
The Surviving Mars OST is spectacular, though the gameplay is just good.
Already played it. I really love how they named the songs from one of the elements.
The Sam & Max games by Telltale have an absolute banger jazz soundtrack
I see some Final Fantasy mentions, but I'm throwing Final Fantasy Tactics in particular into the ring.
Incredibile Crisis, on PS1.
Admittedly the story is a bit thin… the game play is purposefully enraging… but it gets a big ol’double check mark on the OST requirement thanks to the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra.
On a totally different note and tone, Last of Us. I dig anything Gustavo Santaolalla.
Bionic commando remake
All of the doom remakes
Timberborn
For honor
Jet set radio future
Some quick ones off the top of my head right now:
Golden Sun & GS:TLA
Megaman X
Saints Row the Third
Dynasty Warriors 4
Deus Ex
Castle Crashers
Sonic games usually have great music but Sonic Mania in particular is full of bangers, highly recommend it.
Undertale's soundtrack has been memed to death but it's honestly really good.
If you're still in the mood for visual novels the Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney games have some incredible soundtracks too.
Also, for something slower, I must give a shout out to The Sims 1. It's suave as hell and very, very catchy.
Honestly can't argue. Undertale's OST is really great, even though it's been memed a lot.
I absolutely loved Pokemon USUM‘s OST and was heartbroken when I found out the OST release was just like 1 minute long tracks that you couldn‘t easily loop (obviously it looped infinitely ingame)
Undertale in case you haven't played it yet... you've played it, right?
zero escape. going in blind is a must. at least 999 had really banger music and nice puzzles and story. 999 also had its story made for the 3DS, so it's best if you play it on a DS emulator. it's also similar to danganronpa at least stylistically, and makoto has a zero escape logo on his hoodie
bloons td maybe. the music might not be that good but they're still bangers
I don't see this mentioned enough, but persona 5 (specifically recommend persona 5 Royal) has a really great OST. As you play the game you unlock better versions of the same tracks, including vocals. It's actually really jazzy, and quite catchy! The wife and i will jam to the vocal tracks on road trips.
The game is also very good, with an interesting story! It's kinda weird in a fun way! It's like.. a pokemon-esque turn based jrpg with some like real world maintenance aspects (relationships, work a job, go to school), with great music
The Elder Scrolls series if you haven't played already, battlefield 1, Terraria, Cave Story, The Ori series
Cult of the lamb
FTL: Faster Than Light
Interesting that no one mentioned Rebel Galaxy. Granted that the songs are probably not to everyone's liking. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRMcXkadosW43B18ZSbYFqBnFn2myQwRw
I love the soundtrack of The Talos Principle
Caves of Qud doesn't have a very big OST but I happened to absolutely love it. The game is similar to Rogue (or more directly Dwarf Fortress adventure mode), as in time only passes when you move and everything is represented by a tile, but it has pretty good controller support as of a recent update.
