Mine is Skyrim.
I always come back to its music. It’s uplifting, telling me that everything’s gonna be alright. I have its songs in many different playlists.
Stardew Valley. I find myself humming the songs through the day all the time, they are so relaxing and whimsical.
Mine are Subnautica, I’ve put myself in danger in that game just for the music. Honorable mentions include horizon (zero dawn specifically, but I am currently playing through forbidden West for the first time, so I still might prefer it), Halo(CE), and Skyrim for me as well.
+1 on Horizon Zero Dawn! Listening to the album I faved these ones:
- Aloy’s theme seems pretty obvious
- Years of Training was really epic and the matching cinematic was awesome to watch, xou really feel empowered
- Homecoming no spoilers but damn, still giving me goosebumps
Journey !
The soundtrack of the game is amazing !
Absolute favourite game soundtrack? Frostpunk’s OST. The soundtrack really brings home the desperation and harshness of survival in the cold. When the storm is coming and the music swells up… goosebumps. Every single time.
Divinity 2: Original Sin has a great soundtrack too. Kinda surprised I couldn’t find it in the comments. Minecraft as well. It’s very soothing and calming.
Aside from that, some smaller titles with great music: GRIS, What Remains of Edith Finch, and FAR: Lone Sails.
Metroid Prime. All the music fits so perfectly to the environment, especially Phendrana drifts when you first discover the location.
