The best video game soundtracks are the ones that stick with you. There are plenty of good soundtracks that feel good in the moment, but the ones that stick around once the game is said and done are what we\u2019d consider the most impressive of the bunch. It\u2019s not like there\u2019s a small number to choose from either, have you seen the number of games that have come out? How on Earth are you meant to pick the best video game soundtracks from among them? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, good news, we\u2019re going to go ahead and do it for you. That means you\u2019re not allowed to disagree with you, because we don\u2019t see you making a list about the best video game soundtrack ever, do we? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Best Video Game Soundtracks Ever<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This list has been genuinely troublesome to work out. We\u2019ve decided to go with the songs that are at their best in and out of the game, which means we\u2019re aiming for a set of absolute bops. Let\u2019s dive into the best video game soundtracks ever then. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Transistor <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
You could easily change this with Bastion, Pyre, or Hades, because every soundtrack that Darren Korb, Ashley Barrett, and their team over at Supergiant Games have released has been absolutely sublime. The mix of wonderfully relevant lyrics, the stunning melodies, the haunting and enchanting voices of both Korb and Barrett make for some of the best music around in and out of gaming. If you\u2019re ever in the need of some emotional tinder, then listening to anything from Transistor is sure to set a flame inside of you, and the unnerving remixes push it above the other options here in our opinion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Persona 5<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019ll never see it coming!\u201d Well, you probably did. If you\u2019ve played Persona 5, you don\u2019t need us to preach the gospel of the bouncing soundtrack to you. The menu music alone is enough to make any Persona 5 player have flashbacks and start talking about their favourite relationships in the game, and it\u2019s easy to see why. Just put the soundtrack on at a party and watch the guests light up as the songs flow from one to the next. Or don\u2019t. We\u2019re not the boss of you or parties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jet Set Radio<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The Jet Set Radio soundtrack is an excellent way of injecting a little bit of rebellious joy into your earholes. The soundtracks from Hideki Naganuma are absolutely unreal, and combine a mix of completely original songs along with licensed music as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mix is heady, and makes for some intensely upbeat tunes to work to, workout to, or just vibe to. It\u2019s impossible to listen to this soundtrack without a smile on your face, and if you don\u2019t believe us, just go ahead and try. We\u2019ll not accept any kind of proof showing it is, in fact, possible to be sad while listening to Jet Set Radio, because we don\u2019t want to hear it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Risk of Rain 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
As with the Supergiant Games, you could easily swap this for the original Risk of Rain too. The musical compositions created by Chris Christodoulou are some of the most intricate and mixed of any game. Songs flow from heavy metal into funk without missing a beat, and each track will take up residence in your brain while refusing to pay rent, and you\u2019ll just be happy they decided to drop by. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Risk of Rain 2 soundtrack edges out the original purely because it feels as though it shows how much Christodoulou has improved, and the more recent tracks made for the Void Survivors DLC are something else entirely. It\u2019s a soundtrack that truly feels out of this world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
