I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

Remember Me was a game that had clunky gameplay, but had A+ atmosphere and music. It was cyberpunk to the extreme.

System Shock 2 sounds a bit dated but it's amazing and still puts me on edge like 10 years after I first played it

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvrdtlyUXPg

And Portal 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOXrgDDLpYw

(I actually sometimes listen to the Portal 2 OST like it's normal music and I don't care how much of a dork that makes me cos it's incredible)

Agreed, the gameplay was a poor man's Arkham Asylum and the story hosed itself up near the end but my god the music and atmos was good :allears:

The recent Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze has some loving great mixtures ranging from tribal-style to bitchin-rear end rock.

Seriously baller rock.

But I still prefer Bastion's soundtrack over it. It just has a lot of good songs.

The number of truly stick-with-you tunes is kind-of limited, but Chrono Cross's still somewhat unique blend of Celtic, Island, and Japanese styles makes it a favorite even 14 years later:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=923fVDDwaHo

Of course I can't mention Chrono Cross without its forebearer Chrono Trigger which I personally like less but is by far more memorable and cohesive as a whole:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDANk9wjw3k

Earthbound did some ace poo poo lifting inspiration from the Beatles, where even if they take an instantly recognizable element from a song everyone's heard to death they still managed to make the tune their own:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0n4cs7Z7mDY

They did something similar with the Adam West Batman theme in Mother 3:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0m8FisxHJhM

Jet Set Radio and Jet Set Radio Future were the soundtrack to my early adolescence and it broke my heart that neither style really caught on outside of the games themselves:

Then lastly I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Gitaroo Man, one of those little music games that could but never did. Too rare to live, too weird to die. This game legitimately got me a girlfriend in high school. Just groove on both versions of the Legendary Theme. Skip the dumb cutscenes:

-------------------

Sadly I can't think of many more modern games that have stuck with me quite like these have, but don't take that to mean I think game soundtracks are worse. Guild Wars 2 has some really pretty and memorable stuff, and Hotline Miami is loving phenomenal.

The Anarchy Reigns OST is loving amazing because Platinum actually went out and contracted relatively unknown rap artists to make murder music for their murder game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbWl5hbwp-A

They did the same thing with their earlier game Mad World, its just more pigeonholed specifically about chainsaw murder by a guy named Jack.

Shovel Knight has a pretty good ost:

Banjo Kazooie is also pretty good, especially since they have the same theme but change the instruments depending on where you are.
Good stuff.
