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:

  • Danganronpa 1/2/V3 + Ultra Despair Girls (most recently finished)
  • Persona 4/5 (waiting for Persona 3 remaster)
  • NFS Most Wanted (2005, 2012), Carbon, ProStreet
  • Doom 2016, Eternal
  • Test Drive Unlimited 2
  • Life is Strange
  • Ace Combat 7
  • Omori
  • ULTRAKILL

Undertale, love the Temmie Village song. The OST can be heard in all kinds of videos. Maybe since you liked ULTRAKILL (based on graphics), you'll like Undertale.

NieR:Automata is an absolute banger. It has a banger of a soundtrack and a really great story. I personally love the park area and the forest.

Subnautica, the OST, really helps to create an immersive experience. It is sometimes mysterious, it can be dark but also adventurous. The music kind of guides you through the uncharted lands.

The Legend of Zelda: BotW I know, it's a WIIU/Switch game, and I know TotK is out, but the design and the music of the game are fitting so well together. The OST is so incredible.

Can't go wrong with these for sure. Do you need preliminary knowledge about Zelda if you're an absolute newbie in the series?

Guilty Gear not even getting mentioned once is criminal, the entire franchise has amazing music, to the point where the fanbase and the fighting game community likes to joke that they get a free game with every new music album whenever a new game comes out.

To add to this, basically everything Daisuke Ishiwatari makes, who is mainly responsible for almost everything about the game.

Damn the animation style looks absolutely breathtaking. I'm not a fighting game person per se, but does it have a story?

  • The Yakuza/Like A Dragon series. You can get good sales on the mainline games if you wait.
  • Based on your 1st bullet, gonna assume you already played Ace Attorney/Great Ace Attorney.

Understandable assumption, but I haven't played Ace Attorney yet, but a lot of others have already recommended it.

I have absolutely jammed to the original Unreal Tournament (UT’99) soundtrack on my commute.

Some games with soundtracks I particularly enjoyed over the last couple years:

  • A Hat in Time - a cute, fun collect-a-thon platformer with a kickass soundtrack. This one is particularly fun to play and hits nostalgia vibes for the early 3D Mario games.
  • Shantae and the Seven Sirens - 2D platformer with an energetic chiptune-y soundtrack. The game itself is OK, but the soundtrack is what really made this one for me.
  • Paradise Killer - vaporwave inspired surreal murder mystery
  • Subnautica - underwater survival and crafting game with a soundtrack that set the mood very well
  • Demons Roots - 18+ RPGMaker game where you lead a demon uprising to reclaim the surface world, invading country after country freeing slaves as you go. Very dark game that is unusually good for the type of game it is. If you're not put off by the RPGMaker doujin wabi-sabi and are tolerant of adult content in games this one is worth a look. There are some absolute bangers in the soundtrack.
  • Pyre - Lord of the Rings meets 3v3 basketball with a very enjoyable soundtrack by Darren Korb (Bastion).

Actually thank you for the reminder, I forgot about playing Hat in Time entirely. It was a really fun experience.

My choices are the following:

  • Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor - Good guitar riffs and it fits the mood of the game
  • Brutal Legend - Lots of music, lots. Ozzy Osbourne is in the game
  • Final Fantasy 8 - I think it had a memorable soundtrack
  • Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - The original radio stations were great in this game.

It very much depends on your taste in music, but Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice OST is absolutely amazing, especially considering it's all original scores (I think). After beating the game I put the OST on repeat for several days
