I’ve been looking for some more instrumental music to listen to while working, besides putting FF and Stardew on loop.

    Cuphead is a banger if you like that kinda music.

    Nier Automata as well. Very different, but hauntingly brilliant.

    Also, fallout radio if you’re feeling that real classic sound.

      Also love cello, and it’s why I keep hoping the long-rumored new version of Final Fantasy Tactics will surface soon. Even with a fifth console gen soundfont, Sakimoto’s strings are so good in that soundtrack.

    Since you already mentioned Final Fantasy (I assume that’s FF).

    Halo 2
    Nier:Automata
    Undertale

    FAR: Lone Sails

    What Remains of Edith Finch

    Divinity II: Original Sin

    Frostpunk

    These are all (mostly) non-vocal, great for some background noise. Great games too!

    If you like prog metal and hard rock, I’ve yet to find a better soundtrack than Guilty Gear XX. The fan favorite is “Holy Orders (Be Just or Be Dead)”, but for my money, the best songs on the soundtrack are “Existence” and “Awe of She”.

      First time I heard this was in a buddy’s car and it was bumpin’ hard. I asked him who the band was and was totally surprised when he told me it was from a video game. Very very solid stuff v all the way through

    I prefer Sci-fi background noise so Surviving Mars is my favorite. Mass Effect is ok but I find it gets a little too cinematic and bombastic at times. FTL and Into The Breach, or really anything by Ben Prunty is good too

    Offworld Trading Company. Haven’t played the game but it’s a great sci-fi soundtrack by Christopher Tin of Civ IV fame.

    I know it’s a little obscure, but if you like Kamen Rider and ancient games, the music from this game is awesome
