By this time last year, we had the OST Nier Automata and Persona 5, two of the best OSTs to hit gaming in years. What are some good OSTs that have come out in this year's crop of games?

God of War has to be up there.
Edit - I also agree with others that Detroit's OST was incredible too.

No game this year so far has had anything special and most of the standout ones amount to generic high-fantasy garbage or generic anime garbage. Even the new Kirby, Monster Hunter, and God of War fall into that camp. I don't recall anything from Yakuza 6 either. It's just been a year of "meh" music. I wanted to say Celeste, but I've got nothing there either. I dunno, maybe Spider-Man and Pokemon'll have some good music, but so far nothing this year's caught my ear.
The Civilisation Soundtracks always get overlooked on the whole (Christopher Tin notwithstanding of course) - perhaps because of the sheer volume of tracks that the average player will never hear when playing the game - but they are always absolutely stunning.
This will sound weird but sushi striker has some awesome music from the demo. Technically releases in a week, but people should check it out if they haven't.
Shadow of the Colossus if we count remasters,God of War if we count new games. Not that I've played that many this year
I know Christopher Tin is thought of as "the Civ guy", but Geoff Knorr's work on 5 and 6 is frankly amazing. He deserves at least as much credit.

Detroit is hands down the best of this year so far. I mean the official soundtrack is like 4 hours long. Its basically a Final Fantasy game.
this is a good example.
this is a good example.
Absolutely. I also really liked his work on Beyond Eath and the Rising Tide expansion.
Why do you even feel the need to ask?
Of course we are.
Do you think our fondness for it is artificial or something? Can't stand posts like these.
From the games I have played so far, my pick would be God of War. I bought the OST right after I finished the game.
Far Cry 5 is a completely abnormal case you wouldnt expect. Its great, and they literally released like 7 soundtracks. But Detroit still beats it. I'd rate this year as Detroit > Far Cry 5 > God of War
