Patient Gamers
A gaming community 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.

- Shovel Knight
- Chrono Trigger
- Unreal Tournament 99
- Quake II
Hollow Knight, though I don't really listen to it outside the game.
Cyberpunk has some great songs on the radio.
Bit dated, but at the time Descent II’s Redbook sountrack was pretty good for ‘96.
Anything handled by Nobou Uematsu.
Bloodborne OST is the first that comes to mind for me.
Outer Wilds (and Echoes of the Eye) technically qualifies with the community's rules, but I think the answer more in keeping with the spirit of things is Shadow of the Colossus. The Opened Way is the most "fighting a building-sized monster as a normal guy but still winning" piece of music I have heard
Feeling nostalgic and I was just listening to the Pokemon gen2 soundtrack
Hard pick because I listen to a game or series for a while, then another. Just today I went and listened to a lot of Sonic tracks, which I do once every few months. I guess Atlus games (SMT, Persona, EO), Metal Gear Rising, Ace Attorney, TWEWY are in the lead off the top of my head, but after a month I might give a different answer. My relaxing music playlist is mostly the official classical arrangements of Etrian Odyssey 1+2, so let's go with that.
All you young'uns and your fancy moderns music.
Nothing beats Gone Jackals songs in Full Throttle.
- Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
- Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
mantis Lords from hollow knight
Trepang2
The Last of Us 1 & 2, all the Katamari games, Death Stranding
Gravity rush is pretty damn good. Haven't played the second one yet
Aquaria: Original Soundtrack
by Alec Holowka
Such an underrated game. RIP Alec.
Love the Towerfall OST myself, it was such a shock to hear about him.
Morrowind and project wingman are peak. FFXIV is fantastic with a persistent leitmotif across each entire expansion. The final endwalker boss basically wrapped up YEARS worth of story and that fight music was a medly featuring every expansion's leitmotif and holy shit I can't get over how incredible it was. Also the pandaemonium raid music. And Alexander. Seriously you can rabbit hole for HOURS on FFXIV music.
SimCity 4 ❤️
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2
The Sims 2
Civ 3 had some killer modern music.
Mechanicus and
Ixion
Both games came out fairly recent and have OSTs by Guillaume David. They are both good games on their own, but get great due to the OST.

right now i'll have to go with "The Neverhood Chronicles", it's stuck in my head since i started playing it again last week on a PS1 Emu.
Ash of the Gods and Pilgrims
No game will ever have a better soundtrack than Halo 3
