@KratosMD Thanks!

I'll start with Moonlit Wilderness from Tekken 5, my favorite fighting game stage track.

Another goodie is Crash 2's sewer level music. A longtime favorite of mine.

Encounter from MGS is another, but special mention goes to the version in Smash Bros. Brawl.

Gangplank Galleon from Donkey Kong Country, specifically the GBA port, since that's the version I played.

To cap it off for now, I'll put some Jet Set Radio Future, A game I've never played but own the sound track to.

I recently played Stardew Valley and the music in it was really good. It wouldn't sound out of place in a classic RPG game.

Chrono Cross, and generally anything by Mitsuda, but that was his best work hands down.
Xenoblade Chronicles (that main theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OxpAqDc4JE)
Nier: Automata.

FF's have some great music, VIII and X being the most consistent and hence strongest for me. The latter has the benefit of (almost) all tracks being wonderfully remastered for the HD version.

Shadow Of The Colossus probably has the best soundtrack of anything in my opinion. All of it's music is amazing, but The Opened Way is the epitome of how good the soundtrack as a whole is. It helped made my first battle in the game oe of my best experiences in gaming.

Silent Hill 2 - Lisa's Theme
Creepy, depressing and emotional game, yet for the most part a chill and uplifting song. For me, it's a really good way to sit back and just think.

The Witcher 3 - Steel For Humans
Another game with an all round excellent soundtrack. Epic, gets you in the mood for fighting and the folk instruments with Polish vocals fit in with setting perfectly.

I have been listening to loads of great soundtracks recently, even for games I haven't played yet. Been listening to Abzu and Hyper Light Drifter. Both very chilled and atmospheric.

Original Halo has by far the best soundtrack for a video game.

I had a friend in high school that would bump the Super Mario RPG soundtrack in his car.

@kyleforrester87 Ha yeah, when you said about Disasterpeace I was going to mention Fez, such a lovely piece to listen to. I think most AAA soundtracks need to look towards the indie scene as they really do seem to get artists in sync with the game.

"It has to be this way" from Metal gear rising

I've wanted to share this bit somewhere, but knew of no place where it might be appreciated. Of course, then I found this topic.

Earlier this year I played and finished Super Mario RPG again, and was reminded at how great the soundtrack of this game is. One song in particular really hits me, and it's one of the few video game songs that has made me teary-eyed. It's pretty much at the end of the game:

Do you lot have any video game soundtracks that have really hit you emotionally?

@Kidfried SotC is always up there.

I do listen to the Dark Void soundtrack quite a lot - it's very Bear McCreary, and still my favourite of his work by a long way.

I also really like John Debney's score for Lair (PS3).

@Kidfried The Last of Us really hit me. The acoustic guitar music stands out as very chilling and impactful in that depressing setting. I’ve also always appreciated Uncharted‘s easily recognizable theme.
More recently— NieR Automata’s music was great, and had a large role to play in carrying that game’s emotions. Before the Storm’s score really helped carry the emotional impact of that story.
These are a few that have moved me, although I don’t usually listen to video game music when I’m not playing.
