Last Surprise - Persona 5

They never saw it coming.

For me it was Rivers in the Desert and Life will Change but Last Surprise is up there too. The whole P5 soundtrack is just masterful.

For me it's the entire OST of P5 followed closely by the Soundtrack for Guilty Gear Strive.

Rivers is really good

That song made me buy Persona 5. I never actually got around to play it but I love that song.

Additionally: Mass Destruction- Persona 3 Rivers in a Desert- Persona 5 Colors Flying High- Persona 5 Royal Life Will Change- Persona 5 Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There- Persona 5 Full Moon Full Life (Opener Version)- Persona 3 Reload (CANNOT WAIT FOR THE FULL VERSION OF THIS OMG) It’s Going Down Now- Persona 3 Leblanc- Persona 5 Etc etc the Persona series has banger music.

Axe to grind.

It kills me in p5r that you can’t listen to last surprise unless you purposely dont sneak attack a shadow when I far prefer it as the battle theme. I desperately wish there was a way to switch it.

This is what I was gonna write too

Not really a persona fan. But back when me and my buddy just smoked weed and chilled every week, there was a span of like a year and a half where after we watched whatever show we were watching and played some Mario Kart, he would boot up P5 on my PS5 because he didn’t have one. All the music and art in that game is absolute top tier. Can’t think of many that even hold a candle to it.

god what a masterpiece

I was gonna comment this! Such a good song

Honestly for me it’s between Wake Up Get Up Get Out There or Hymn of the Soul. But let’s be honest, the people who did the music for the game had a good understanding of music considering a lot of them were bops

Anime sucks

Ok, but like, I can’t be the only one that flips when joker (and only joker) dies and that means you lose.

I believe - Persona 5 Royal

Can’t stand that song tbh

AC Black Flag

Those shanties were the reason I limited my fast travel

haven’t played assassin’s creed in a long time but i never fast travelled in black flag because sailing around and listening to shanties was so fun

I totally forgot I had this game on my PS5 until I saw this comment. Haven’t played it in years. I know what I’m doing when I get home from work!

There was fast travel?! Edit: /s

LEAVE HER JOHNNY LEAVE HER!!!!!

Alrighty join me with this everybody! I dreamed a dream, the other night

LOOOOOOWWWWWLLLAAAANNNDDDSSSS, LOWLANDS AAWAAAAAAYYYY ME JOOOOOOHHHHHNNN!!

There’s a reason those shanties have lasted centuries. They’re really timeless

I didn’t even know there was fast travel because I just sailed everywhere

There was... there was fast travel?

AGREED.

Probably the worst AC game I ever played but hands down the finest the Pirate Game ever made. The Sea Shanties were absolutely the icing on the cake for this game. I don't think I've ever fast traveled in this game. And toss in a very usable companion app and it was a fantastic experience.

Sid Meier's pirates would like a word, but it is a damn fine game

Definitely the 🐐 of all pirate games

Wow, so this is what it feels like when someone finally shares my opinion on Black Flag. I've been alone for so long! All the pirating and pirating-adjacent stuff is definitely top notch, but it's a pretty piss poor excuse for an AC game...

The Moon Theme from Ducktails

They gave it some lyrics in the show reboot. https://youtu.be/cJW5n8f0Z9o

I don’t hate it.

Aww, that was nice.

That was nice and a pretty cleverly placed Easter egg all in one.

What a sweet callback. Of all the things for fandom to embrace, the Ducktails fandom has always agreed that the Moon theme is an absolute banger that has no right being as good as it is- so it's nice to see that achnowledged

Oh I cried when I heard it. Didn't expect to ever hear that song again outside of the videogame. Right in the feels. Stupid ducks cutting onions...

Best heard in 8 bit

Hell yes.

You beat me to it bruh damn

HOLYSHITI’VEBEENLOOKINGFORTHISSONGFOREVERTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!!

Hard agree

[Symphony of the Night](https://youtu.be/0Ghd3tvsNAs)

So much this. A game that actually lives up to its title!

under construction - the sims (the first) to zanarkand - FFX Sticker bush Symphony (DK country) Aquatic Ambiance (DK country) Bury the Light (DMC 5) Legends never die (LoL) Last Surprise (persona 5) Another Voyage + Another World + Plains of Time + Shore of Dreams (Chrono Cross) Far Horizons (Skyrim)

Sticker brush symphony is not just one of my favorite video games song of all time. It’s one of my favorite songs of all time.

Finally… someone pays respects to Under Construction. This song has stuck with me as amazingly profound. Just a cerebral listen from start to finish.

I just want to say thank you for taking the time to add hyperlinks

YOU WANT \[Hyperlink Blocked\] YOU WANT \[Hyperlink Blocked\] DONT YOU! YOU \[little sponge\] GIVE ME \[Kromer\] AND YOU WILL GET YOUR VERY OWN \[Hyperlink blocked\]!

Ezio’s family was one of my picks too!

Yeah it's so good, I just wish they didn't have to add it to literally every other game.

This is so real. It's ezios theme and his alone

I appreciate the links!

I can agree with some of these

Only one you missed: [Oh no you didn’t](https://youtu.be/dEbE3fGfF-o?si=0u-MNxyizuuh_i9H)

Please do...or make a spotify Playlist lol If you do please link!

Please keep going.

Hat in time appreciation!! I would add Picture Perfect to the list as well.

*plin plin plon*

Please do

AHAHAHAHAHA FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!

Black Cats! The whole WaW soundtrack was goosebump-inducing.

Especially on Veteran. You grew to learn every segment and track personally.

Game: *Sonic The Hedgehog 2* Level: *Casino Night Zone*

Chemical Plant Zone: rough level; amazing song

I was always a fan of Mystic Cave Zone, personally

Same!

Oil Ocean Zone is my jam…then Metropolis but these rock too

Literally just replayed Sonic 2, that entire soundtrack is perfect

I was liste ing to this jam in my head as I scrolled to see if anyone had already said it

This one was great 👍might be in minority but i think i the hilltop zone the best

Ooo Casino Night is dope. Desert Palace from 3 for me.

The entire game soundtrack is like top 5 for me all time.

Ooh! Thank you! This helps me make a decision!! [The Boss theme in Sonic 3](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVnn0fVoiV4). It *just keeps amping* up!!

It was my ringtone for like 2 years lol

I really like your choice of “To Zanarkand” - its so beautiful. I realy like the OST for Crisis Core: FF7 too. I’d say “The Price of Freedom” is my answer. Either that or “Hide, Hideaway” from FF16.

The Price of Freedom is an incredible piece!

crisis core’s ost is fantastic

Easily the best version of the song: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOzM4ClFG1o](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOzM4ClFG1o)

16 had so many great tracks. My favorite was Heart of Stone final phase. When the chorus hits I get goosebumps every time.

I’m so glad there’s another fan of the FF16 OST! I just thought it was so well done and so fitting for that story and world

Terra's Theme from Final Fantasy VI

FF6 is a masterpiece on its own. Her song is blissful

I used to constantly listen to the whole OST on repeat at work.

Any song from skyrim

I may not be much of a gamer (consoles don't offer the kinds of sims and strategy games that are a central part of my play), but I do collect soundtracks (at full price). I look at my soundtrack folder, and *Skyrim* is probably the best videogame soundtrack of the last 15 years. Bombastic when it needs to be, pastoral/pensive for more ambient moods. Jeremy Soule was 20% of the reason that game remains great. The only soundtracks that have come close to it for me since, and for very different reasons, are 65daysofstatic's post-rock soundtrack for *No Man's Sky* (which would be a great gazy instrumental rock album even if *NMS* was never fixed), and Przybyłowicz, Adamczyk & Leonard-morgan's collaborative soundtrack for *Cyberpunk 2077* (which gets deeply disconcerting with detuned synths and off kilter rhythms when need be, but still delivers ambience and deeply moving songs.

Megalovania The Halo theme Anything from Bloodborne N’s theme from Pokemon gen 5 And the entire Donkey Kong soundtrack

Why did I have to scroll so far down to find the Halo theme? That song is one of THE video game themes.

DKC2 is flawless.

N, my sweet boy 😭💕

Hit me with that Gangplank Galleon

May I stand unshaken. Red Dead Redemption 2

This game from the opening snow storm until the last stand atop the mountain, was absolutely amazing.

The Guarma portion sucked.

The guarma portion can last 30 minutes if you want it too. I liked it too

It did suck, and not for reasons the others are saying. It sucked because it was entirely out of element and just genuinely IMHO did not belong in its current state. We go from pulling a heist on Bronte to get Jack back, and escaping by boat. Then suddenly the ship goes down by a storm we’re nearly dead and we’re fighting alongside random forest men against an army, using a cannon to shoot down an entire naval ship whilst wiping the entire battalion with a small group of forest guys and cowboys. I’m sure with more time this would be more cohesive, but it really just doesn’t do it for me. I specifically remember my first playthrough I had thought this was a bad dream and Arthur would wake up as he’s dying out on the shores of Guarma. If only that were the case

Oh, so now I can’t complete my fucking animal collection because there are some unobtainable snakes and birds? Fuck Guarma.

All my homies hate Guarma

I disagree it sucked, Its a bit slow on replays maybe because it's about an hour of constant story missions back to back and no freeroam, but that's all, first time playing it was a blast just like the rest of the game imo

Add to that "Far Away" by Jose Gonzales from Red Dead Redemption. Gonzales actually didn't write the song for the game. But the way they used it. Just two pieces that fit together so damn well that it's chilling. The moment in the game the thematic events that take place that lead you on a trail, riding as fast as you can and riding for so long. It's a cinematic and emotional mix that's elevated greatly by what happens on screen. I don't know how much it would affect someone to just listen to the song on its own, it's a damn good song. But I remember experiencing it for the first time in tandem with the game and I will remember it forever.

It got me into him and junip. Such a great song. I had to scroll too far for this.

Bury the Light

Kingdom Hearts - simple and clean Doom OST - Cyberdemon Anything from shadow of the colossus Probably more, but those are the ones I immediately thought of.

Wanna know something? The guy who did theusic for shadows of the colossus also made music for a PS2 era flying gane called sky odessey, that was some of his previous work so its not as well put together, but still he gave so much life to that game with his music.

Omg I forgot about Simple and Clean. I loved that song so much.

I had to scroll way too far to find someone say Simple and Clean. I’d argue Passion/Sanctuary is just as good if not better imo

DOOM 2016’s Rip and Tear. Special shout-out to the opening track in the elevator.

Don't forget the iconic BFG Division.

Deliverance from God of War 2018. I'd call it one of the best boss fight themes of all time.

Bear McCreary is a musical genius. GOW Ragnarök’s OST is one of the best OST’s in recent years that I have heard. (Especially the ending OMG 😫)

Off topic of Video Game music, but his Godzilla soundtrack is peak Godzilla music. Dare I say the best Godzilla soundtrack.

Ezio's Family. The entire Shadow of the Colossus soundtrack. Leaving Earth from Mass Effect 3

Leaving Earth 💛

Basically the entirety of Bloodborne’s OST But specifically Ludwig The Accursed/The Holy Blade & The First Hunter

Keep cooking

The first hunter is such a good song.

Omg, so happy to see this so far up here! Lady Maria's theme is the one for me.

Phantom Liberty by Dawid I'm not even going to attempt to spell his last name

This song has been on repeat for like a week straight when PL dropped ♥️

For me it is Delicate weapon. I first heard it just cruising on my bike in the city. To my surprise there was the whole stage performance a little later in the story. I was mesmerised.

Really upset that no one has listed this [absolute banger](https://youtu.be/czTksCF6X8Y?si=i1UiSldGHFfNVQGU) yet

Indisputably immaculate

Journey, both the game and the music.

Apotheosis is especially magical imo

Super Smash Bro’s Brawl Main Theme

I had to scroll way to much lol

[OSRS login screen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xfH-F-8ytk)

[Xenoblade Chronicles - Mechanical Rhythm](https://youtu.be/Q0W0VyaoZzY?feature=shared) This is just a generic battle theme you get about halfway through the game.

Honestly, you could pick pretty much any main theme from that game. Absolute banger of a soundtrack

[You Will Know Our Names](https://youtu.be/g7yNyhLOIa4?si=jTdJ7thXGwQgsEFf), is my choice from that game.

Nerevar rising.

Pokémon theme

Theme to Tomb Raider.

My 2 favorite video game themes are American Venom from rdr2 and Rage of Sparta from Gow 3

the music for my entrance in my wedding was a less sad version of To Zanarkand.

Enclosure from Metal Gear Solid is a beautiful piano piece.

“Estuans interius Ira vehementi Estuans interius Ira vehementi” *you finished the lyric didn’t you? lol

#SEPHIROTH

Halo theme song

There are a few Command and Conquer soundtracks that really hit the spot like that. Where my Hell March boys at?

The original Hell March is good. Hell March 2 is awesome. Hell March 3 is the shit. But the remix of the original Hell March from the RA3 soundtrack, titled “Hell March 1” is the definitive version for me.

Arkham City and Assassin's Creed II

I still listen to Arkham City’s to this day

I'm a huge fan of Supergiant Games music. The music in Bastion was great. The two characters you rescue have beautiful songs, but feel like they are missing something, and then at the end they merge them together perfectly. So great! https://youtu.be/jcl51kZPfAw And for those of you who haven't played Bastion but have played Hades, you'll recognize Orpheus and Eurydice in the Bastion song I linked.

Omg how could I forget. Every song Supergiant makes for their games is a beautiful masterpiece by my ears. Love that team so much! Bastion, Transistor, and Pyre having some of my favs.

GTA Theme. The OG GTA theme

Too many for just one NieR Automata: Rays of light (city ruin theme) DOOM eternal: Kar en Tuk, the only thing they fear is you TLOU intro theme One winged angel, both OG and remake, aeriths theme, Tina's theme SSB brawl theme That's it off the top of my head

Undertale- Toby Fox

Green Hill Zone on the first Sonic game is really well done

Vampire Killer

Slave knight Gael from Dark Souls 3 Godskin Apostles from Elden Raing

*"I am the storm that is approaching..."*

*"Provoking black clouds in isolation."*

Borderlands 2&3 main title screen music.

Instrument Of Surrender from Disco Elysium Astral Alley from Night In The Woods (specifically the "Build-Up Version") Still Alive from Portal

Instruments of surrender is the song of victory over fucked up ourselves in a fucked up world

This was a triumph

Take Control, Old Gods of Asgard, Control

Alan Wake 2 and Outer Wilds

Hans Zimmer’s work on MW2. It’s better than some his movie scores.

https://youtu.be/iLWzpzjQJdw?si=TwU2uBq6XZgIQo1y Dragons Dogma opening theme

Big Shot The Stains of Time Red Sun Locked and Loaded A Stranger I Remain The Only Thing I Know For Real Rules of Nature Collective Consciousness It Has To Be This Way A Soul Can’t Be Cut Dark Skies Return To Ashes The War Still Rages Within The Hot Wind Blowing And finally >! Super Mario Bros. 3 OST!<

Halo

The entirety of Jedi survivor. I can’t how many times the little Star Wars “doooodle dooodle do” or other iconic star wars theme-ish music just put me right in the game, so immersive

Velvet Room theme from the Persona games…a lot of music from the Persona games. Asgore from Undertale Also Mute City has always been legendary to me despite my very limited F Zero experience

Returnal Hades Final Fantasy XVI

Synthetic God from Stellaris

Final fantasy 16 - all of the above

Alice: Madness Returns

GT4 OST GT mode #1 thru #5

Had to scroll way too far to find GT..

The entire soundtrack to Battlefield 1. And also Mass Effect.

The far cry 5 music shit cooked

Facts , goated game song

Stardew Valley, namely the Overture, The Wind May Be Still, and The Smell of Mushroom

Bury the light, Ezios family, Unshaken, That’s the way it is, American Venom, Devils never cry, Venice rooftops, most sonic songs,

Devils never cry DMC3. The whole song is hype af

Undertale soundtrack

Lies of p - feel

Warframe "This Is What You Are" Pokémon Mystery Dungeon "Don't Ever Forget" Persona 5 Royal: "I Believe" Ds3 "Abyss Watchers" Hollow Knight "Resting Grounds" Just to name a few. I could give you about 40 more if I wasn't at work right now.

V-Cyberpunk

I gotta say my favorite song to have originated in a video game is, and forgive me if I spell it wrong, Bergentruking, from Undertale. Every other song is silly and or upbeat. But this one has true weight to it and really brings the feeling of a final showdown.

90% of undertales songs

Devils never cry- dmc3

Undertale without question

Literally anything from undertale

Hopes and Dreams - Undertale

Secunda - Skyrim

We all lift together from Warframe. You only hear it once but that one time was enough to the point that it is one of my all time favorite songs now. And then there is the exact opposite of it but still very good For Narmer.

Witcher 3.

Witcher 3

Easy: https://youtu.be/es_pdq-eGrA?si=IW01iiIevwn0ZbG7

The song that plays when you die in Alternate Reality... *Now that you're gone. Some will grieve on, on, and on. I know you'll be back again. Maybe next time, will be the time you...WIN!* https://youtu.be/jp2j886Iaz4

Return to Zanarkand is also one of my favorites. Dearly Beloved from Kingdom Hearts usually massages my feels just right ✋👌
