cheese_greaterWhat's a great video game musical piece that's good listening to over a cup of coffee?
The Cassette Beasts soundtrack is excellent and they’ve recently released some acoustic/live sessions. “Wherever we are now” would suit your theme perfectly.
QuentinCallaghanTomb Raider Legend Manor Theme for example.
Tomb Raider Legend Manor Theme (Extended Edit)
Anything from Grim Fandango
AnissemMan that takes me back. Full Throttle, Indiana Jones, Under a Killing Moon, so many great point and click adventure games from that time.
The Psychonauts soundtracks, either the first or second game, but I’d say moreso the first one. About a third of the songs are kinda country twangy instrumentals because the game takes place in a summer camp. They’re the perfect lazy summer day songs imo.
Especially the track Whispering Rock from the first games.
BroBot9000Finally got around to playing part 2 last week and it’s phenomenal. The soundtrack in part two has the perfect blend of campy secret agent themes and the summer camp nostalgia vibes.
I love all the spy ones like Loboto Interior Sneak, Landing At The Luctopus, and Casino Hallway Sneak. Honorable mention for Here’s How it’s Done.
But imo the combat music in Psychonauts 2 is where the soundtrack really shines. I mean just listen to A Little Fight Music, Lady Luctopus, Panic Attack, Fight in the Library, and pretty much any boss music from the second one. Each track is so punchy and energetic.
Tarrey Town theme from Breath of the Wild
The ending song to the first Portal
Her voice and inflection was so perfect, like Siri level
Any (or all!) of the tracks from the original Sims soundtrack.
The Sims Soundtrack: Buy Mode 1
The fragrance of dark coffee from Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney (especially the insaneintherain cover: youtu.be/UBy5qquWcEg).
The Fragrance of Dark Coffee (From "Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations")
Deus Ex Human Revolution soundtrack hits just right for me.
oh that’s probably perfect
kamenladySuper Castlevania IV SNES
Specially “The Cave”
Octopath Traveller 2 has a pretty great OST, especially this one:
Octopath Traveler 2 - A Sensational City Day
I’m really liking some of the Wanderstop soundtrack from C418:
Heal, from Ico (Extended)
MugmoorJoke answer: Take You For a Ride from the Marvel Vs Capcom 2 OST.
Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 - I Wanna Take You for a Ride (Looped)
Anything by Nobuo Uematsu

Basically anything from Jim Guthrie’s soundtrack for Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery. It’s such a vibe
Spiritfarer (Farewell Edition), by Max LL
51 track album
The Tristram theme from Diablo always makes me want to stay a while and listen.
Diablo 1 & 2 Soundtrack - Tristram Theme
geomaInterstate '76 soundtrack. You could also use a beer.
For me, it’s the Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack.
arakhis_not video game but gives me monster hunter/one piece vibes
IV. Allegro con fuoco - Dvorak (Symphony No. 9, ‘From the New World’)
IV. Allegro con fuoco
Start your day in Tarrey Town
“Cafe Ghibli” is also good over coffee, but that’s bending the rules
WiddershinsTim Follin makes good music. Try the NES Pictionary theme song and if you like that Solstice theme song will blow you away.

Ultima Online Soundtrack (Sound Blaster AWE64 [AWE32 Synth])
slacktoidThe soundtrack from Risk of Rain 2 and Hades are my favorites atm.
- Alto’s Adventure Soundtrack (which is driven by the composer of the band Lydian Collective)
- Machinarium Soundtrack (Floex / Tomas Dvorak)
Both are IMHO absolutely the perfect amount of “bright chill” you want for an early coffee
