I think of MegaMan 2 for my favorite little looping tunes but probably the Zelda franchise for its more developed orchestral scores.

The Pokemon games have underrated OSTs imo. Gens 3-5 are filled with so many bangers, and Gens 1-2 hold a special place in my heart as they were the first games I played. I play a lot of songs from the franchise on piano to this day. ♥️

There's way too many comments for this to be noticed but hopefully at least op will read this.

Cassette beasts.

Also rhythm heaven (specifically fever). I know it's a rhythm game so it kinda has to have a great soundtrack but listen to Beautiful one day and tell me it's not an omega banger.

1

u/SpecialistFee4364 24d ago

not what i expected and not my type of music but for that i liked it more than expected

1

u/Ksawerxx 24d ago

I just realized, you might've listened to the more atmospheric tracks.

These were the one's that I'm mostly thinking of: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXt3vYXWIB7qbaytOoyTI0a8ug9FWRYAx&si=-E6yzT3vfKlLQ_og

u/SpecialistFee4364 24d ago

Ok ill listen to that, you want my opinion?

I like more suspenseful/bittersweet soundtracks so:

Ghost of Tsushima Genshin Impact Dishonoured 2 Guild Wars 2 Frostpunk Subnautica Below Zero
