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.

Gotta love the Ink Spots!
I’m a sucker for a cello. When I’m testing new audio equipment I put on Austin Wintory’s soundtrack to Journey. So, so beautiful.
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
UndertaleFAR: 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!
@MacedWindow Diablo 2 for sure
oh man i have a spotify folder full of playlists, including
-
talos principle
-
sherlock holmes chapter one
-
deadbolt
-
murder by numbers
-
baldurs gate 3
-
witcher 3
but it’s missing metroid prime (esp. chozo ruins and phendrana drifts) and professor layton (any of the puzzle themes).
-
Portal 2, Minecraft, Half Life 2, Black Mesa, Team Fortress 2, Battle Block Theatre, Doom 2016, Doom Eternal,…
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
Child of light
Elite Dangerous, both original OST and Odyssey (for the planetside background music)
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
Gothic 2! Full soundtrack, or a compilation of just ambient tracks
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
Orchestral my pick is Journey, with Uncharted as a close second
Actiony my pick is Scott Pilgrim vs The World The Game. Love the band.
Retro - Chrono Trigger/Spyro 1-3/Pokemon Ruby Sapphire Emerald.
