thanks to this lovely FOSS project it can be played on linux and even Android :) I’ve been playing Space Funeral on my phone with it. Actually if you like psychedelic rock, you’d probably love Space Funeral’s music too.

yeah OFF’s soundtrack doesn’t have a lot of tracks, and several are rather minimalist ambient music, but it’s all very unique and it fits the game perfectly. The main battle theme, Pepper Steak, is so catchy that my mom requested I add it to her phone as her ringtone for me 🤭

I would argue the gameplay falls short of revolutionary. Several parts are frustrating but 90% of the time it’s a decent balance of rewardingly challenging timing & platforming vs. “press X and just watch your character do the sickest flip, yo” dumb fun.

The killer tunes, kickass visuals (one of the best early cel shaded games), lighthearted but spunky lore and just overall vibe make it a genuine classic. If you’re on the fence about it opt for Jetset Radio Future, as its an entire console gen worth of polished vs. the original and imho the music is even better.

Earthbound and Mother 3 could be exactly what you’re looking for. There’s just nothing quite like them OST, story, and gameplay wise.

Little Nightmares and Little Nightmares 2 also have excellent music that perfectly complement their soul-squeezing visuals and gameplay.

Portal 2 has very little music but it is GOOD, and perfectly timed to key moments in the story. Also top notch unique gameplay, obvs.

Skyrim music is iconic for a reason.

OFF’s music is similarly iconic and its story and visuals so unique and engaging you’ll likely forgive it for being unapologetically RPG-maker. The latest English translation (3.0) is considered the most faithful to the original French.

FRACT OSC is a “musical exploration game” where you directly influence the soundtrack by interacting with a beautiful, surreal puzzle landscape with Tron-like visuals.
