Whoa. Stellaris' soundtrack is great!

[BSM]

Seriously, I could easily see myself listening to this even outside of the game.

[protista123]

Totally agree concerning the music/soundtrack. Very relaxing, while enhancing the gaming experience. All the Paradox offerings I own have excellent music.

[Robossity]

hell yea man. just bump that scheiße on the two 12" subs driving around downtown.. you'll be so cool

[Tekel1959]

I totally regret not getting Nova now.

The music is what I like least about the game. It is tedious and boring. I think I've never become sick of a soundtrack that fast ever in a game. I'm waiting for the Clarke beta, as there is no point in playing the game either as it is too broken now for my taste.

Don't get me wrong, I like Stellaris, but the soundtrack is just so awful. Not one memorable song. Just feels like really poorly made ambience. And not of the good kind. Just endless droning.

[:WTF: Grendel]

yup, totally worth the extra $10 for the soundtrack

Do you have appreciation for orchestrated music like those in movies? I've played some space games where the music literally puts me to sleep so I have to turn off that music and play my own selections lol

There are so many games with memorable soundtracks. I didn't even notice much orchestra in the Stellaris soundtrack. I love orchestra music and classical music. The music that came out at start with Crusader Kings 2 was amazing. As was the Songs of Albion DLC. Victoria music was great. EU2 was great. HOI2 was great.

Other non-Paradox games? Rome 1 and Medieval 2 had great music. Shogun 2 was amazing. Civ 1 and 2. Diablo 1 soundtrack is probably the best ever made in history. Diablo 2 was good. Kotor 1 and 2. Starcraft 1. World of Warcraft had and have awful music. Dark Souls had stellar music.

Space games? Ascendancy is a classic and perfect example of how it should be done. Make the music sound strange and alien, haunting. Like Diablo 1 in space. And Ascendancy is a REALLY old game now.

Space Rangers 2 (not the HD version) is another good example. The music there was really engaging and fast paced. Perfect fit for that sort of game.

As for an example of ambience music that is non-intrusive but still works as ambience, I'd say Nexus: The Jupiter Incident did it pretty good.

There are so many to mention, but these we're the ones I remembered right off the top of my head.

[Radene]

Yup it really is awesome.

Over 88 thousand views so far just for this one song posted on the composer's page. It seems many people love the soundtrack. There are a few other videos of them making some of the music there and on one of Paradox's channels. They all did a great job with it and should be proud.

i do not regret to have spent the extra 10 bucks for it. i also thought their soundwork for crusader kings 2 was very good so I was happy that they made the soundtrack available via the nova edition. There are some nice variations of the ingame tracks on there and it even came in .flac

Yeah, I got Nova on a whim, but I'm totally glad I did.

Well, even though I disagree I respect your opinion.

I will say that even though I like the soundtrack a lot I still turn off the music sometimes. No matter how much I like music in a game I eventually turn it off. With only a couple of hours worth of tracks and playing the game for a hundred hours or more even great music becomes repetitive. So I listen to something else while I play much of the time. For this game I actually turn the music back on sometimes which is highly unusual for me. Most games I just leave it off after the first week of playing.

IMO best track of the OST.

Oooh, yeah! This one is my favorite as well! Puts me in empire-building over-drive mode when it comes on!

[McGeek]

My favorite is "Deep Space Travels" has a mix of every type of music I like

[suksas]

I muted mine after an hour. It grates on my ears. Horrible annoying sound.
Suprised others like it.

[Ruinous]

In Search of Life strongly reminds me of Vangelis and John Michael Jarre.
