for me it’s perhaps Metro Exodus end scene.

my hot take is that even though portal is a masterpiece this song is so cringe because i associate it with unfunny "the narwhal bacons at midnight" type redditors
wrote last edited by [email protected]I feel like the association of Portal with that era and that type of person, even though I think most of them probably became different people with age, even though I was practically one of them, makes the song a little harder to enjoy. I am aware of Ellen McLain's (GLaDOS voice actress) opera creds and think that's super cool though.
Sorry to the composer, it is not your fault. Similarly, I think maybe the same thing happened with Undertale. I think I played before the fandom got a bad reputation, so it and its songs are not quite tainted in my mind, in fact I'm a big fan of the game's use of leitmotifs (am I using the word right?) and really enjoy its music, but if I came in after I saw the fandom, I might like the work less through no fault of the composer.

The Stupendium made an Outer Worlds song called The Fine Print that also goes hard af for either setting imo.

Turtle Woods from Crash Bandicoot 2 has never left me ever since I first played it on the PS1.

Mega Man 2, Wily Stage 1: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aTbfpkByIM8&pp=ygUdbWVnYSBtYW4gMiB3aWx5IHN0YWdlIDEgbXVzaWM%3D
Heck. Half the Mega Man 2 sound track is probably in the top ten.

Here a little late with some certified bangers in no particular order:
Monty on the Run - Main theme (Commodore 64)
Sonic CD [JP] - Quartz Quadrant (Present)
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - Wandering Ghosts
Looked for someone to mention Mega Man. You picked a good one, but I’ll add the opening intro theme for Mega Man 2 for my catchy pick.

Great picks, Castlevania and Mega Man are my top 2 fave soundtrack franchises.

I still credit the Wood Man stage music for providing me focus and making it through a downpour on an unfamiliar highway with construction.

Yeah that's why I didn't link it. I can hear the riff and even play the riff on guitar on a moments notice
Friend says "play me something" and I immediately play that riff
Klepacki is an excellent score writer
