I've listened to plenty of video game music. Some great, some not so great.

You can have a great game with great music, and that's fantastic.

You can have a not great game, but with great music.

You can have a great game, but a mediocre soundtrack.

And you can have a bad game with a bad soundtrack wry smile (best to stay away from those)

I think Chrono Trigger is a solid game with a great soundtrack.

The Mario & Luigi RPG series are games I enjoyed, all having music I liked too.

Phoenix Wright, fun games, solid tunes.

Undertale was a great game with a great soundtrack.

Those are just a couple.

When a game is good and also has good music, that really enhances the gameplay experience.

What's a game you think is worth playing to experience the music?

@nonamesleft If you haven't played the game yet be sure to try it out. The HD remake for Xbox consoles is really well done. I have no idea why it never got a Steam release.

I've been warming to Pocky & Rocky Reshrined's OST over the last few months. Stage 1 has possibly the catchiest earworm I've ever heard. Top five, minimum.

I didn't know. I'll definitely keep it in mind. I skipped around the soundtrack a bit, liked some of what I was hearing. Would be a different experience to play it to experience the soundtrack.

Scratch that: Stage 2 is one of the catchiest earworms I’ve ever heard. I mixed them up. https://youtu.be/KG9...

Yes, and it's an outstanding remake that improves the Saturn version in every way. This is my favorite beat-em-up (and I've played a bunch of them). There's tons of variety in character movesets, a semi-controllable NPC helper, tons of branching paths, and multiple endings. It's a great game to play with friends, but it's really solid and strategic solo.

Semi on topic but if you get a chance to see Bit Brigade in concert, you really should. It's a really neat sort of hybrid concert and speed-run. One of the band members plays a custom ROM of an NES game with the music stripped out and the rest of the band plays the soundtrack as the game goes. I've seen them play nearly their entire catalog, and Castlevania, Mega Man 2, and Mega Man 3 were my favorites.

None even remotely close to me.

Guess I'll check if I can find footage from their concerts.

It's pretty good but the problem is it isn't Magical Sound Shower.

Here you go: https://youtu.be/wyU...

They'll tour way more places than they have listed, so you'll get your chance eventually. They're pretty thorough.

I couldn't find a video of just the song, but honestly, Elementemple is my favorite track in the game. The rest of the soundtrack is also really great!

Only posting music to games I’ve owned:

the adventures of Batman & Robin (..a poor man’s Gunstar Heroes)

Still remember picking this one up at best buy over the magic school bus

Now amongst his many works Jesper Kyd did the music for this game and the new WARHAMMER 40,000: darktide, to name a few

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has an incredible soundtrack. Awesome remixes of tons of classic tunes.

What's a game that you think is worth playing to experience the soundtrack?
