A gaming sub 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.

Dear patient lemmings, I am in need of your help. I'm searching for games that have some GOD DAAMN OSTs and come with a great story or/and gameplay.

Games that tick these requirements for me:

  • Danganronpa 1/2/V3 + Ultra Despair Girls (most recently finished)
  • Persona 4/5 (waiting for Persona 3 remaster)
  • NFS Most Wanted (2005, 2012), Carbon, ProStreet
  • Doom 2016, Eternal
  • Test Drive Unlimited 2
  • Life is Strange
  • Ace Combat 7
  • Omori
  • ULTRAKILL

  • The Yakuza/Like A Dragon series. You can get good sales on the mainline games if you wait.
  • Based on your 1st bullet, gonna assume you already played Ace Attorney/Great Ace Attorney.

I don't see this mentioned enough, but persona 5 (specifically recommend persona 5 Royal) has a really great OST. As you play the game you unlock better versions of the same tracks, including vocals. It's actually really jazzy, and quite catchy! The wife and i will jam to the vocal tracks on road trips.

The game is also very good, with an interesting story! It's kinda weird in a fun way! It's like.. a pokemon-esque turn based jrpg with some like real world maintenance aspects (relationships, work a job, go to school), with great music

Yeah I really loved Persona 5. It really stands out as an unique an catchy game.

Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers has an absolutely banger of a soundtrack.

Incredibile Crisis, on PS1.

Admittedly the story is a bit thin… the game play is purposefully enraging… but it gets a big ol’double check mark on the OST requirement thanks to the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra.

On a totally different note and tone, Last of Us. I dig anything Gustavo Santaolalla.

Actually the story seems pretty charming tho. The graphics feels a bit too dated to me, but atleast the OST is up on YT, and damn the main menu OST is already a banger.

The Elder Scrolls series if you haven't played already, battlefield 1, Terraria, Cave Story, The Ori series

Some games with soundtracks I particularly enjoyed over the last couple years:

  • A Hat in Time - a cute, fun collect-a-thon platformer with a kickass soundtrack. This one is particularly fun to play and hits nostalgia vibes for the early 3D Mario games.
  • Shantae and the Seven Sirens - 2D platformer with an energetic chiptune-y soundtrack. The game itself is OK, but the soundtrack is what really made this one for me.
  • Paradise Killer - vaporwave inspired surreal murder mystery
  • Subnautica - underwater survival and crafting game with a soundtrack that set the mood very well
  • Demons Roots - 18+ RPGMaker game where you lead a demon uprising to reclaim the surface world, invading country after country freeing slaves as you go. Very dark game that is unusually good for the type of game it is. If you're not put off by the RPGMaker doujin wabi-sabi and are tolerant of adult content in games this one is worth a look. There are some absolute bangers in the soundtrack.
  • Pyre - Lord of the Rings meets 3v3 basketball with a very enjoyable soundtrack by Darren Korb (Bastion).

Actually thank you for the reminder, I forgot about playing Hat in Time entirely. It was a really fun experience.

FTL: Faster Than Light

[–] inode@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

My choices are the following:

  • Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor - Good guitar riffs and it fits the mood of the game
  • Brutal Legend - Lots of music, lots. Ozzy Osbourne is in the game
  • Final Fantasy 8 - I think it had a memorable soundtrack
  • Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - The original radio stations were great in this game.
