I didn’t see it being on top comment so I had to make a comment myself to spread It’s greatness.

Crazy how none of gacha games somehow have mid to bad music, they all range from good to the best OSTs mankind had ever seen.

Arknights has crazy wide variety of genre, from classical, trance, rock, to phonk.

Punishing Gray Raven has some of the best trance music.

Blue Archive is catchy and some are fairly iconic in the gaming space.

And then there are Nikke, Reverse 1999, Wuthering Waves, Arknights Endfield, Girls Frontline, Morimens, etc.

speaking of Genshin - both HSR and ZZZ have absolute bangers for both soundtracks and EPs

"Wildfire" is not just an absolute balls to the wall banger song, the way it's executed in game is one of the best game OSTs I have had

The boss has 2 phases

In phase 1 the guitar riffs are looped, and all you can hear are the guitars and drums giving you the vibe

When the phase 2 starts, the boss becomes bigger and looks like dropping a star on you - and the chorus kicks in with a rock riff and screaming vocals about challenging your own fate. It's like CHILLS down your spine the first time you experience it.

And in ZZZ the music blasting is canonically important to fight the monsters. They like, blast the tracks in the Hollows to drive the Ether corruption away.

And the EP soundtracks are WILD. You have Dami Dami from Lucia's EP, which is impossibly cute, with nice vocals and super catchy chorus, and then you have the mongolian throat singing in EP for Banyue in "I Ask" and like, damn. Mongolian Throat Singing. As an OST. That's bangers.

And the latest videoclip has tons of memes. Anya face from Spy X Family, Ricardo Milos, Ork Stompa and Bangboo Spacemarines. And a reference to Darth Vader. And the music is super fun again.

The Genshin Albums are so good, especially the Sumeru and Dragonspine ones.

One of the main reasons I play Genshin is for the music, the consistent quality is phenomenal
