Xenoblade X
Splatoon
P4D

Phrozenflame500 · Dec 4, 2015

Easily Undertale, with a tip of the hate to Hotline Miami 2.

Jawbreaker · Dec 4, 2015

1. Bloodborne
2. Hotline Miami 2
3. Undertale
4. The Witcher 3
5. Ori and the Blind Forest

Shepard · Dec 4, 2015

Pillars of Eternity - Great OST that really helped to set the tone of the game and its world.

Some highlights:
Defiance Bay
Ondra's Gift
Main Theme
Battle theme
Inn

Spinosaurus · Dec 4, 2015

Transformers Devastation's OST is killer. Really disappointed how often it gets overlooked.

Shockwave
Soundwave
Blitzwing
Autobots
Megatron

And easily my favourite
Insecticons

The moment when this one plays was so hype.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3.

If you can put

A: this
B: this
C: this

into the same game and make it WORK, then you win. Great job on the variety.

Yup. BOIII gets a lot of plays from me because of it.

To add, Halo 5, Ori and the Blind Forest, and Assassin's Creed Syndicate have great music all throughout.

I really like MGSV's but beyond the original songs, the rest of the score sounded like leftovers from a Zimmer score... that he had ghost writers compose.

Spirited · Dec 4, 2015

The undertale soundtrack is by far the best.
Probably the best one in years actually!

Here go listen to it! https://tobyfox.bandcamp.com/album/undertale-soundtrack

lt519 · Dec 4, 2015

Ori for me but I didn't really play any other games with good soundtracks so limited point of view here. Undertale's was great but I still give the leg up to Ori for the orchestral style I like better.

Regiruler · Dec 4, 2015

*CTRL-F Code Name: S.T.E.A.M"

A fantastic dynamic metal soundtrack with some great symphonic influences.

I'm going to be the only one voting for it aren't I.

chaislip3 · Dec 4, 2015

It's gotta be Undertale for me.

Seriously
it's
amazing.

Pro · Dec 4, 2015

You all have clearly missed out.

First two tracks alone are some of the best I've ever heard and the entire OST is amazing.

This is also an amazing OST!

Funyarinpa · Dec 4, 2015

Hotline Miami 2 from what I played, but I have not playee Undertale yet.

Strangelove77 · Dec 4, 2015

MGS5. So good. Both the licensed music and the original stuff. Sucks that they didn't get the original "Man Who Sold The World" though.

I really liked the Witcher 3's music, but I found it too loud and for some reason the music not changing during cutscenes was really weird to me. The background music didn't feel appropriate in a lot of the cutscenes. I don't know. Maybe it's just me.

Disaster Nebraska · Dec 4, 2015

I know that it was technically at the very end of last year, but Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-

Exceptional soundtrack, (though still missing some of the classic tracks) with the best menu music ever.

Ori and the blind forest, no contest.

It's lovely, although I found the score kept itself too bleak for the first couple hours of gameplay considering the playful character and colorful world it was set in.

Which is why I'd sometimes play with alternate music, including this perfectly suited track that was streaming over the radio at the time:

Every time I hear it wish the game was scored like that throughout, though the atmospheric score it has is well composed in its own right.

CoyoteSpitfire · Dec 4, 2015

Undertale easily has my favorite soundtrack of the year. Hotline Miami 2, Witcher 3, and Bloodborne are also good picks.

Piston Hyundai · Dec 4, 2015

krakov · Dec 4, 2015

The music in the Bloodborne dlc is something else, much like the music in the main game. Ludwigs second phase music is already one of my favorite tracks in any game ever.

Data West · Dec 4, 2015

Dropsy, easily

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0aYDYbJigg

BananasWithGuns · Dec 4, 2015

Ori is probably my choice for the best one.

Although I think Fallout 4 has a very underrated soundtrack.

RustyNails · Dec 4, 2015

Witcher 3 and only Witcher 3. I wanted to make a thread about how fantastic the soundtrack is. Thr Kaer Morhen guitar riff is unbelievable.

wild wild rice · Dec 4, 2015

Witcher 3
Splatoon
Xenoblade Chronicles X

Undertale at the top, that entire OST is wonderful.

The Old Hunters DLC-Bloodborne does have some good tracks throughout as well.

Yep, this. I also liked how well the Splatoon OST suited the game.

NotDreamcast · Dec 4, 2015

Gonna go with Undertale. It was really memorable.

Anticipation / Enemy Approaching
Temmie Village
Amalgam
Waterfall
It's Raining Somewhere Else
Can You Really Call This A Hotel, I Didn't Receive a Mint On My Pillow Or Anything

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It's kind of an easy listening modern jazz lite.

Have seen Dropsy posted around but it didn't look quite my thing, yet now I can see how this music would fit.

Risgroo · Dec 4, 2015

Ori and the Blind Forest wins by a mile. Probably my game of the year as well!

Bloodborne and The Witcher 3's soundtracks are great, but not quite up there with Ori IMO.

rubius01 · Dec 4, 2015

Can I do this one?

Witcher 3

TheMrPliskin · Dec 4, 2015

Undertale for sure, second place goes to P4 Dancing all Night.

GIANKRATOS · Dec 4, 2015

JasoNsider · Dec 4, 2015

From everything I've played it's Undertale. Though I've also really enjoyed the music in MGSV for setting the tone just right.

Murugo · Dec 4, 2015

Most of what's been mentioned (Undertale, Hotline Miami 2, Ori and the Blind Forest, Splatoon), but add to my list LISA the Joyful which somehow exceeds the OST of the previous game.

Voices (Hum)
666 Kill Chop Deluxe
All American Badass
Brokentooth March
Homeland Hussle
Arrow to the Head

SEGAvangelist · Dec 4, 2015

The Order 1886 and Ori and the Blind Forest have by far the best musical scores of the year.

I'll throw in Killer Instinct Season 2 as well.

Captain Zyrain · Dec 4, 2015

Halo 5... not surprisingly

One of my faves is Crypt - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fiHu6c21K4 1:50 is my everything.
