Life is Stange. Noting like underground folk/rock music.

I’m a big fan of the “Deus Ex: Human Revolution” soundtrack.

“Deus Ex: Mankind Divided” also had a good one.

If I had to go for standout game song though, it’d be a toss up between Super Mario Odyssey and Portal. (EDITED to include the 3 key GLaDOS songs.)

I’m a big fan of the tracks for the original Mass Effect trilogy. Really atmospheric stuff that sets the mood for the games really well imo.

#8

Do not forget Grim Fandango. Man, that music brings all sorts of moods, even for me, who normally listens to black metal:

That is a fact! Like no other, Mass Effect transports me to other worlds and realities.

Just Try Need for Speed OSTs, all are amazing :slight_smile:

All of those were really good, and all are new to me too (except for Ridge Racer series).

#19

The soundtrack for entire Half-Life series is amazing (excluding Opposing Force and Blue Shift–those are not by Kelly Bailey):

This playlist has a lot of demos for the upcoming Unreal Tournament 4, and there are some amazing tracks:
