I don’t know why, but Hollow Knigjts OST gives me the best vibes. All of these are great, especially Twilight Princess, but Hollow Knights is definitely my favorite.

Hk and Undertsle are my top 2. But here’s why Undertale takes it for me. Every ost or song in the game is worthy to be in my music playlist. It has such a diverse selection, it’s so unique, and, I don’t think you streamed RANKING all of ori’s osts. That just proves how iconic every single track is in undertale, the fact that you can easily rank them. It is a staple of video game music and revolutionized them forever. Undertale is such a magical game, and I hope it lives for decades on.

The sealed vessel is a BANGER out of all the songs in Hollow Knight it is my favourite.

Death’s Door is game that you should definitely check out if you’re interested in good soundtracks. It feels like the gameplay and the music are linked, like in one of the sections the tempo of the music lines up with the up and down movement of the pistons, and certain characters get songs that punctuate their arrival. It also features motifs like you were talking about, and is just overall a spectacular soundtrack.

Hollow Knight, Undertale, and Omori are my favorites. Hornet, Sealed Vessel, and Mantis Lords are the best songs from Hollow Knight. Asgore is my favorite Undertale track and World’s End Valentine and Omori are incredible tracks from Omori. I have to mention Vanguard sound since they have great tracks and Find the Flame from FF16 is probably my favorite individual game track.

Ori, Undertale, and Hollow Knight all make it into my top 10, as well. Legendary osts all around. Two that I really recommend are Cuphead and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, especially since both games' DLC have come out. You talked about loving live orchestration? Well, there you go. I cannot sit still listening to them. Great list, over all.

We shouldn’t kill people for saying first, it helps KZfaq algorithm

Let's not forget Twilight Princess has the MALO MART THEME!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Bravely Default’s OST is criminally overlooked and my favourite OST of all time.

i love video games soundtrack videos, thank you for this one!

Solid. Some of these I would have to rank as entire franchises because selecting one would omit so much other good stuff. Franchises for me would include Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario Bros, Legend of Zelda, Castlevania, Mega Man/X, Metroid & Ori. Games that are connected? Sea of Stars/Messenger & the Ico games. Single titles? I’m going with Hollow Knight, Shovel Knight & Chrono Trigger.

Great list! Skyward Sword will have my favorite soundtrack forever and always. My other favorite OSTs are those of the other Zelda games obviously, 13 sentinels, the Ori games, Hollow Knight, Animal Crossing new leaf, and the Danganronpa games!

This might be the best ranking of ost ive seen

I absolutely love the HK soundtrack (ofc) and an honorable mention for me is the sonic frontiers OST, they made some BANGERS.

Some of my personal favorites are Celeste due to its ability to tell a story through motifs and music, ultrakill because those songs go crazy hard, and Elden ring, mainly just because fighting radagon while the main menu theme played made me feel like I took a real journey myself

Although it’s quite different from the soundtracks on this list, ULTRAKILL has a great soundtrack which uses motifs and emotion really well.

Great list! Ori and the wotw is probably my favorite also, but it doesn't contain my favorite single song. That award goes to Divine Dragon from Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Even if you don't play the game, you have to at least give that one song a listen. It is absolutely legendary.

Undertale and Deltarune have amazing soundtracks Terraria and Minecraft both have astounding soundtracks, especially Terraria Calamity Pizza Tower ALSO has a lot of astonishing soundtracks

The subnautica soundtrack is a so good at imersing you in the alien world you have crashed on and really creates an air of mystery that fits the game perfectly. Hollow knight is still my favourite tho

Ori and the Will of the wisps is a very good soundtrack. All the dark souls soundtracks are incredibly underrated and recommend ones like, yhorm the giant, flame lurker and the first hunter

my top 5 are 1. Undertale 2. Hollow Knight 3. Celeste 4. Stardew Valley 5. Terraria

the ori and shriek is just perfect

At the start my heart dropped to my stomach when he put blind forest in 10 and I was gonna rant on the discord, but then he put will of the wisps in first and I forgave him

Would recommend Bravely default, octopath traveler (1 and 2), Nier replicant/automata, Kingdom hearts in general (specially any bosses theme), The world ends with you, xenoblade 2, bayonetta (1 and 2), a short hike (the vinyl is awesome) and the mario and luigi rpg series. Also kinda any final fantasy games have an amazing soundtrack. And again, specially Bravely Default that remains my GOAT. Also pokemon games do have good music, the town with their atmospherics themes and Nice battle themes. Edit: forgot persona in general is also very good

The hollow knight music makes me question my existence. Songs like reflection, greenpath and city of tears capture this so amazingly

You are a great KZfaqr

I think you can put a lot of OST music into 2 categories: What the player is experiencing And what the world around them is experiencing. Most if not all of Undertale’s boss themes are representing the boss’s feelings like how battle against a true hero represents the determination of Undyne. Celeste however often likes to mimic how you or Madeline feels with tracks like reach for the summit enfisising the motivation in that chapter.

I don’t know man, a lot of these don’t come near the amount of emotional impact that the legendary crazy bus ost can give.

if you like video games soundtrack then YOU MUST play OMORI this game is a masterpiece in every way i could think of

Alright, video game music is amazing and perfect, but is it something you would listet to while doing day to day things? Or do you listen "normal" music? Also I wasn't expecting ducktales 🤣. (Also, Worldless is a super good game that has came out recently. The ost in that game js really good too, flowing along with the environment that you are playing in. I definitely recommend it. When I got it, I wasnt expecting much, but i was wildly impressed. I haven beaten it yet, because how hard it is, but its so good) P.s. Happy Christmas

Video Game Soundtracks inspires me to also make soundtracks someday...

Midna’s lament is a beautiful song

Ori’s soundtrack is the reason I bought it. The tracks in both games are SO good.

A great indie game OST that’s not really well known, wizard with a gun, has some of the best songs ever

You are underrated

I don't know why a sonic the hedgehog soundtrack is not up here because the sonic music is so good and it's known for the most iconic music in gaming

In my personal opinion. Hollow Knight is easily my number 1. Here’s why: First of all. Hollow Knight IS my favorite game hands down. Second of all. Some of the tracks like Sealed Vessel for example were so good in my opinion that they literally changed my entire view on not just video game music but music all together. Third of all. Like you said each piece of music fits with each area that it’s in SO well. I know Team Cherry said this game was “rushed” BUT I feel like even though it was rushed. Team Cherry perfected this game.

Hollow Knights music is absolutely amazing

You should hear GTA vice city soundtrack on the radio they are the best with the 1980s vibe in a vice city evening especially flash fm and emotion 98.3

Geometry Dash objectively has the best OST: - You can replace song files to add them to levels. Therefore, Geometry Dash's OST is every song in existence with as much emotion and storytelling expertise as the level creator can manage

I know you don’t like playing mods much but terraria’s calamity mod has the best soundtrack ever. Its atmospheric tracks and boss themes are great and it uses a lot of motifs, each boss theme perfectly fits the boss. One of the couple of them with lyrics, Roar of the Jungle Dragon also keeps a rhyme scheme and the lyrics match with the lore of the game. DM Dokuro is my favorite composer now and it’s a shame he is no longer working with the mod. This ost makes up 1/6 of my playlist lol

You should try stray trusts. It was the best game I played in 2023

This came out right as i was compiling my top ten favourite dragonforce songs lmao

Small question: in your opinion, is Galaxy 1's OST better than 2's, or you included Galaxy 1 referring to both games? Cause I honestly think they should both be part of this list.

Calling it before I finish the video, Undertale is number 1

2 more honorable mentions are Halo and Destiny. Many of their songs are similar in the fact that they have much more of an impact when hearing them in game. Especially songs like Journey and Deep Stone Lullaby

I like bagels

dude you HAD to include Nier at least in the honorable mentions. I just assume that you never listened to it.

My top two favorite video game soundtracks are hollow knight and Minecraft

Thares a game that you might want to try its Journey a verry short verry easy game 2 hours but the music and atmosphere is the best I've ever seen in a game. It tells you the story not in a direct way but it feels like it's direct I can't exactly discribe it. Highly recommended

ahh..... free at last

I can agree will of the wisps has a better soundtrack than blind forest but having played through both and even playing through will of the wisps before blind forest I still find blind forest's gameplay more fun didn't really enjoy any of the bosses of will of the wisps besides the great story bits with them and just vibed with the blind forest more also great list alltogether

HK and twilight princess should be top 5 at least, but overall i think i agree

My top 10: 10. Tetris 9. Smash ultimate 8. Star wars the old republic 7. Super mario galaxy 6. Persona 5 5. Witcher 3 4. Minecraft 3. Xenoblade 3 2. Hollow knight 1. Skyrim

I love video game OST I have a few that are my favorites here's the games I love Dungeon Defenders: very underrated and memorable part of my childhood Ori and The Will of The Wisp: Agreed I love this ost so much Hollow Knight: another one I agree with Halo: this series has very good and awesome OST Undertale: every track is perfect for me my personal favorite in gaming I remember all of the tracks A Hat in Time: Fantastic ost for a great game Ratchet and Clank 2: my personal favorite in the series Transformers Devastation: the boss themes are awesome I prefer them over Metal Gear Rising Revengence in my opinion Kirby and The Forgotten Land: Every track is ear candy to me I love it so much Mario Galaxy & Odyssey: These two games are the ones I consider to have the best music in the series Sonic Generations: Awesome remixes and I can listen to the previous games ost as well win win Mega Man X: the best snes OST in my opinion

My top ten: 10: Minecraft 9: Stardew Valley 8: Terraria Calamity Mod 7: Child of Light 6: Slime Rancher 2 5: Undertale 4: Slime Rancher 3: Ori and the Will of the Wisps 2: Rain World 1: Ori and the Blind Forest

I personally agree with this list alot but i think one ost that shouldve made it on here that sadly didnt is the OMORI ost. Almost every song even the spine chilling ones are great and the music impacts the game so much.

Do you not feel anything when you listen to White Palace, pale Court, or nightmare king Grimm while playing and you know the lore. I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just wondering because I love hollow knight a bit more than Ori.

I can agree with you but what about Celeste…and one that you might not know a hat in time

Play Celeste all the soundtrack are BANGERS

Honestly in my opinion the calamity mod soundtrack is even better than terraria's.

Cool vid and all but i think long elevator solos all these tracks tbh

I like men

Im kinda sad you dint mention outer wilds

Play Chrono Trigger

W takes

Xenoblade Chronicles 1 is the only right answer

minecraft not being on this is criminal

Where was metal gear rising?

wheres the sonic games

Celeste fan spotted

DKCTF being in the top 3 is an insane W

"If you didn't heard of this game, you disgust me." Now it is my turn. YOU DON'T SPEAK JAPANESE???! YOU DISGUST ME!!!

Minecraft
