Which game has the best background sound?

[Mod edit: changed title for clarity from the unhelpful "Hey i'm new here..Please wellcome me.!😍".]

 

[Colif]

do you mean sound track or just special effects?

 

[Rolfil]

For a music soundtrack I think Pacific Drive Radio Soundtrack is excellent, especially Save Us Sarah.

Cheats - Audiosurf - lets you play tracks based on your music track of choice, off your PC. I guess now it would need to work with streaming services... not sure it does.

Non cheating - Journey but only as I can't listen to it without wanting to play... so really, is it that good?

The GTA Vice City radio stations. I fondly remember listening to them while doing stunts on my motorcycle.

 

[Dead2009]

Mario Kart

And if we're going console background sounds....the Wii obviously.

Soundtracks:

Red Alert OST by Frank Klepacki is a classic, probably 'better' than his original C&C one. Mix of heavy and jazzy music, set a high bar to follow.

Civ 4—Civilization games all have great epic soundtracks, but Civ4 takes the honors with its Baba Yetu theme, the first game music to win a Grammy.

Far Cry 5 has lots of golden oldies playing on various radios etc, but Dan Romer's cult music is what elevates this.

Ambient:

Thief.

So many options, so many moods!

Mysterious, spacey, ambient (sample of several songs):

And back to some electric guitars from back in the days when the game was on CD track 1 and the soundtrack filled up the rest of the CD:

I think Skyrim is great. From background music to the sounds in the environment.

I also loved FF9, 12 and 15.
