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.

No memes please.

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

Sea of Stars had some really catchy tunes.

How did you feel about Celeste? It felt pretty hard for me on the first level already. Might pick back up then!

[–] OmegaMouse@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Celeste is hard, but so rewarding! And the OST is stunning

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

As a 196 regular, it would be a sin not to finish it.

[–] araknyd@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Tough game, but the learning curve isn't too bad. Keep trying and you'll do it 💪

A couple I don't see listed:

  • BattleBlock theater
  • Subnautica
  • Children of Morta
  • Stardew Valley
  • Crypt of the Necrodancer

For those who are already LoZ fans, Cadence of Hyrule will get your toes tapping for sure.

The Surviving Mars OST is spectacular, though the gameplay is just good.

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Already played it. I really love how they named the songs from one of the elements.

The Sam & Max games by Telltale have an absolute banger jazz soundtrack

It very much depends on your taste in music, but Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice OST is absolutely amazing, especially considering it's all original scores (I think). After beating the game I put the OST on repeat for several days

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've heard some great reviews about it's story. Did you like it?

[–] bec@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

A lot: amazing environments and scenery, cool combat with great enemy boss designs, very immersive exploration and the actress did an awesome job throughout it. The "puzzles" bits were a little pain to beat, but everything else was top notch; story was also very cool and made me feel the burden Senua's carrying.

Definitely recommended!

Some quick ones off the top of my head right now:
Golden Sun & GS:TLA
Megaman X
Saints Row the Third
Dynasty Warriors 4
Deus Ex
Castle Crashers

[–] CephalonFaye@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago

I love the soundtrack of The Talos Principle

[–] puhaah@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

You will love MAX PAYNE 3. Badass shootouts inspired by John Woo action films, eargasmic soundtrack composed by legendary noise band HEALTH and some of the best acting seen in story-driven video games.

[–] MermaidsGarden@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Kingdom Hearts soundtracks always slap

The Last Spell! An amazing soundtrack and the game is fun too!

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.

Sonic games usually have great music but Sonic Mania in particular is full of bangers, highly recommend it.
Undertale's soundtrack has been memed to death but it's honestly really good.
If you're still in the mood for visual novels the Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney games have some incredible soundtracks too.
Also, for something slower, I must give a shout out to The Sims 1. It's suave as hell and very, very catchy.

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

Honestly can't argue. Undertale's OST is really great, even though it's been memed a lot.

[–] caut_R@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I absolutely loved Pokemon USUM‘s OST and was heartbroken when I found out the OST release was just like 1 minute long tracks that you couldn‘t easily loop (obviously it looped infinitely ingame)

[–] Maultasche@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago
  • Ōkami & Ōkamiden
  • Octopath Traveler 1+2 (and CotC)
  • Astral Chain
  • Skyward Sword
  • Ys VIII
  • Muramasa Rebirth
  • Sakuna of Rice and Ruin
  • Kena: Bridge of Spirits
  • Star Wars: The Old Republic
[–] abysmalpoptart@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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
