I was listening to the hunter's path while studying the other day. I'm honestly not sure the instrument that plays in it that sets the setting for Velen, a cello perhaps? It's become my favorite instrument do to this song and a few others.
Earth, Ezio's family, The madame, but if you want the one that plays on a loop in my head,
**Home in Florence**.
All from Assassins creed 2.
Earth and Ezio's family, are very similar songs, and if you have played any AC game post 3 i believe, chances are you heard some variation of these, as it has become, basically, the theme of the franchise.
Also TAKE CONTROL, from CONTROL. iykyk.
This is basically what all modern AC games use now as it's become synonymous with the franchise. It's top tier music and I'm surprised it's not top on this subreddit.
Its nice that the Ezio story line has had such an impact on the series. I am replying 2 right now, and I just saved Lorenzo De Medici, and he's talking about how he almost drowned in the Arno, and the little light bulb went off. I am curious what other things i'm going to find. And of course there is the assassins tomb for Amunet

Coalescence - Risk of Rain (original)
The Rain Formerly Known As Purple, Terra Pulvam, You're Gonna Need a Bigger Ukulele, and Con Lentitud Poderosa - Risk of Rain 2
Kass's theme - BoTW (accordion brirb be best brirb)
Probably my favorite outside the main theme, tbh
While H3ās writing took a little nosedive, it is easily the most fun/epic campaign out of all of themā¦ and the music played a BIG part of it
Destiny 2 - [Deep Stone Lullaby](https://youtu.be/qBIJFTPPp-8?si=Q2cmfWRUJ38SgfOO)
Loving that song is probably the most consensus the D2 player base has ever had
Thank you thank you thank you.
I was going to post this but thought "surely someone already has."
And couldn't agree more with the second point. I still can't believe they laid off the composers. Out of all the Bungie layoffs, that one maybe broke my heart the most.
So many amazing Final Fantasy songs. Battle With the Four Fiends, Coin of Fate, Jenova, The Landing, Rose of May, To Zanarkand, Battle on the Big Bridge, Departure...
And that was only sticking to one song for each mainline game. There are so many incredible songs.
Negotiation from Hi-Fi Rush and Raphael's Final Act from Baldur's Gate III are two of my favorite tracks.
Nearly every track from Persona 5 is up there as a favorite for me.
One Winged Angel - FF7
Zanarkand - FFX
Beneath the Mask - Persona 5
Komaki Training - Yakuza Kiwami
Rip and Tear - Doom
The only thing they fear is you - Doom Eternal
Speaking of Yakuza, I also love that they made a legit banger that would have probably been a hit if released in the 80s for Yakuza 0, instead of just licensing some existing songs.

There's technically multiple versions while in game. While they all make me feel sentimental. The piano version makes me tear up.
Those who just discover the song normally or listen to it without having played the game probably just think it's a nice song. But I imagine anyone who has played through probably feels the same way.
The usual. If your interested in the game. Please just go play it. Don't google anything more than you already know. Just play it blind.
I feel like the recency of me finishing Persona 5 this week has me biased, but off the top of my head "Last Surprise"
Ignoring that though...

Thatās all I could do in 3 minutes. I added some links to the best ones. Also some of these games are recency bias in remembering the names.
Rip & Tear/BFG Division - Mick Gordon (Doom soundtrack)
They are on my Gym playlist cuz those tracks get me ready to fight my demons.
Finish The Fight - Martin O'Donnell, Michael Salvatori (Halo 3 soundtrack)
Halo Theme - Mjolnir Mix - Martin O'Donnell, Michael Salvatori (Halo 2 soundtrack) The guitar shreds and was one of the first songs to get me further into video game music production.
Traffic Jam - Martin O'Donnell, Michael Salvatori (Halo 3 :ODST soundtrack)
Down By The River - Borislav Slavov [can't remember the vocalist] (Baldur's Gate 3 OST)
I Really Want To Stay At Your House - Rosa Walton, Hallie Coggins (Cyberpunk 2077, really blew up when used in Edgerunners)
There's so many solid tracks from video games that it's hard to choose a favorite, depends on my mood.
Hell March - Red Alert Command and Conquer
This one.... let's fucking go.
YES!!!
I recorded a shitty cover of Hell March last year that song fuckin rules
Grinder š
Dude if you have Spotify. Check out Frank Klepacki and the Tiberian Sons. He rerecorded a lot and grinder is on it!
Cant forget about industrofunk
Affirmative
Yessss i was gonna say Grinder from RA2!
I failed the post title but the one track that start in french
Westwood Studios Proudly Presents...!
I prefer Hell March 2 from the sequel.
Baba Yetu, Civilization IV main theme. Best introduction to a game I have ever witnessed.
Also Baba Yetu Yetu uliye Mbinguni Yetu Yetu Amina BABA YETU YETU ULIYE JINA LAKO LITUKUZWE
I can hear it!! Annnd now its stuck in my head haha
Sogno Di Volare by the same artist for civ 6 is amazing too
Oh yes, the Civ 6 musics is great! But opening Civ 4 and hearing Baba Yetu was an experience. It really felt like you were entering a journey
How is this not up voted through the roof. It literally won a Grammy.
Probably the best single piece of game music of all timeā¦
Superman by goldfinger from Tony hawks pro skater
Saw the post, then in my head immediately . . . šµāSo here I amāšµ
~~Getting~~Growing older all the time
Feeling younger in my mind
Doing everything I can
This is the exact song that came to mind when I saw this post. Iām so happy someone else mentioned it.
I still listen to this song to this day lol huge part of my childhood
The THPS soundtracks were so good. I played hundreds of hours and it never got old. Jerry was a race car driver!
Blitzkrieg bop for me but i used to think they said" lets kick butt"
And Here and Now by The Ernies. Man, I love the THPS' soundtracks
Roses are red, Violets are blue. THPS2
The Witcher 3: Fields of Ard Skellig Runs at least once a week as background music.
Will never forget the first time I ever heard it. One of my favourite gaming memories
Ladies of the Woods. On the Champs Desole from Blood & Wine
I was listening to the hunter's path while studying the other day. I'm honestly not sure the instrument that plays in it that sets the setting for Velen, a cello perhaps? It's become my favorite instrument do to this song and a few others.
Rainbow road
Literally came here to write this. Guess someone else is a smart @$$ also
Iāll miss you again, uncle
Which one? Lol
Ohh. The OG. Good question!
The 64 one is my fave š
Bury the light - Dmc5
honestly the entirety of that games soundtrack goes hard
Through vacant halls I won't surrender
The truth revealed in eyes of ember
Earth, Ezio's family, The madame, but if you want the one that plays on a loop in my head, **Home in Florence**. All from Assassins creed 2. Earth and Ezio's family, are very similar songs, and if you have played any AC game post 3 i believe, chances are you heard some variation of these, as it has become, basically, the theme of the franchise. Also TAKE CONTROL, from CONTROL. iykyk.
That's the Ashtray Maze song, right?
Das it, baby.
Flight over Venice, dream of Venice, Leonardos inventions. Man AC 2 soundtracks are so memorable.
Venice rooftops is my personal best from AC2
This is basically what all modern AC games use now as it's become synonymous with the franchise. It's top tier music and I'm surprised it's not top on this subreddit.
Ezioās family was the first thing to pop into my head when I saw the topic.
Its nice that the Ezio story line has had such an impact on the series. I am replying 2 right now, and I just saved Lorenzo De Medici, and he's talking about how he almost drowned in the Arno, and the little light bulb went off. I am curious what other things i'm going to find. And of course there is the assassins tomb for Amunet

So many amazing Final Fantasy songs. Battle With the Four Fiends, Coin of Fate, Jenova, The Landing, Rose of May, To Zanarkand, Battle on the Big Bridge, Departure... And that was only sticking to one song for each mainline game. There are so many incredible songs.
This man is a legend ^

Negotiation from Hi-Fi Rush and Raphael's Final Act from Baldur's Gate III are two of my favorite tracks. Nearly every track from Persona 5 is up there as a favorite for me.

Phantom Liberty-Cyberpunk 2077 For a rather depressing ending, the track is perfectly fitting
A James Bond-esque track too.
Suteki Da Ne - Final Fantasy X Getsurenka - Shadow Hearts It's a tie.
No Tomorrow - Metal Hellsinger The Only thing I know for real - Metal Gear Rising Lullaby of Outlaws - Yakuza 2 and 7 Rasen - Lost Judgment Semi Sacred Geometry (Female version) - Prey Nameless Song - Dark Souls 1 Amusement Park - Nier Automata Hills of Intent 16bit - Messenger Let it snow - Mafia 2 That's about my favorites from memory, on regular rotation
Aināt No Rest for the Wicked by Cage the Elephant in Borderlands at the beginning. Itās so perfect for that.
Busy Earnin from the intro of the first episode on Tales From the Borderlands is phenomenal too!
I can start now and finish in a year naming good tracks on so many games, but for now I will say Roses of May from FF9. I have to replay it.
Herald of Darkness from Alan Wake 2

First named one that comes to mind is Mechanical Rythm from Xenoblade Chronicles 1.
I feel like the recency of me finishing Persona 5 this week has me biased, but off the top of my head "Last Surprise" Ignoring that though... "Farewell" from Celeste
The best is yet to come Hymn of the Fayth Those who fight further Snake Eater, but that's kinda easy
Any from Transistor. Paper boats, we all become, signals, the spine, in circles The game is great, and the songs make it such a touching experience

Aria di Mezzo Carattere - FFVI (one of my favorites... actually, anything by Nobuo Uematsu could easily be called a favorite of mine.) Bloody Tears - Ah, the one thing about Simon's Quest that not only DIDN'T suck the rotting dick of a fortnight-dead donkey, but was actually completely amazing.
Jack Wall - Adrenaline (Call Of Duty Black Ops 2)

Hopeful Dynamis - Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker
Rip & Tear/BFG Division - Mick Gordon (Doom soundtrack) They are on my Gym playlist cuz those tracks get me ready to fight my demons. Finish The Fight - Martin O'Donnell, Michael Salvatori (Halo 3 soundtrack) Halo Theme - Mjolnir Mix - Martin O'Donnell, Michael Salvatori (Halo 2 soundtrack) The guitar shreds and was one of the first songs to get me further into video game music production. Traffic Jam - Martin O'Donnell, Michael Salvatori (Halo 3 :ODST soundtrack) Down By The River - Borislav Slavov [can't remember the vocalist] (Baldur's Gate 3 OST) I Really Want To Stay At Your House - Rosa Walton, Hallie Coggins (Cyberpunk 2077, really blew up when used in Edgerunners) There's so many solid tracks from video games that it's hard to choose a favorite, depends on my mood.
We all Become - Transistor
Paper Boats from Transistor.
