Great argument
Yeah, Horizon is great also, especially “In The Flood” the OST is more fitting for the atmosphere of that game i guess.
Ragnarok just has that epic ness to it that i love.

Horizon? Last of Us? Days Gone? Ghost of Tsushima?
Most PlayStation first party have great soundtracks

I really liked the Ragnarok soundtrack. However given Housemarque is now SIE, I’d have to say Returnal’s soundtrack hit harder for me. The first time I got to Nemesis — headphones on, adrenaline pumping, the music acted as a perfect compliment to the gameplay…
Also — honorable mention, Horizon FW’s soundtrack while not as good as Returnal or Ragnarok is definitely underrated.

Prefer Horizon, Shadow of the Colossus, Demon's Souls or Bloodborne above God of War. The OST is well made and fits the Norse mythology setting, but some parts are kinda dull and most of the music gets overshadowed by the elaborate set pieces. The most stand out track is the Valkyrie theme which are reused from the original.

Seemed like the typical movie like ambience background music that's so common in AAA cut scene heavy games and very forgettable once you've moved on to another game.

It's very high up there, but definitely not the best imo.

Bear McCreary is a God. I'm a huge Battlestar Galactica fan and when he was announced for GoW. One of my favorite series, the stars just aligned.

Ragnarok and GoW 18 are both god-tier Blood Borne is also way up in the god-tier discussion.

I honestly don’t see how anyone that played through Ragnarok could say that

I got the plat last week and I agree. It's mostly basic orchestra music, there is nothing unique or identifiable in it.
Compare GoW ost with something like Final Fantasy IX, and GoW tracks will all sound basically the same. Ff9 music might be less complex but some of it is unique and identifiable and it's very varied (Sleepless City Treno, Rose of May, Vamo alla' Flamenco, etc).

It has a great OST as usual in Sony, but not as outstanding, iconic and unique as other series had like Wipeout, Parappa, Little Big Planet or Loco Roco to name a few of them.
I think even inside GoW series we have better cases where they have more personality and unique to the game. I think GoWR OST, even if being great, outside the main theme and its variations feels a bit like the average generic orchestrated OST.

One of the worst maybe. It's a really generic soundtrack and reminded me of something I'd hear in a cheap historical drama. Has very cheap Two Steps from Hell vibe going on. Awful.
Everyone and their dog knows Bloodborne has the best soundtrack of any video game ever made. It's not even close lol.

The game was good but not a single tune stood out and Bear McCreary is an S Tier composer.

The first GoW games had better music
Huge fan of Bear for his BSG music but rebooted GoW has very boring music IMO. The newer games don't really dare go overboard like the older games did. The PS2 games were a paradigm shift for video game music.

Ragnarok is too much like GOW 2018. 2018 is god tier indeed.
Doesnt have its own identity. Its good, but not innovative in any way.
"Oh but its a sequel, what did you expect?". Its a sequel that should have a different feel. GOW 2018 is personal, Ragnarok is about war. Should be completely different.
TLOU Part II is completely different than Part I in all compositions, as it should be

I’m hesitant on OST’s except if they’re from From Software or Square-Enix. The main track of Ragnarok is the only thing I remember. It’s ambiance and it either stays with you or you forget it. I listened to Ragnarok on Apple Music and it didn’t really stick. I kept repeating track 1.
My prime examples are RE Village Death Stranding. With Village maybe 2-3 songs are worth playing, but the rest feels like an environmental melody. Death Stranding, not all the songs made it to the OST, but out of the ones that did- around 2 tracks are memorable.
What keeps me more invested with FS OST’s are the relationship they have with a boss. You feel the fight come back to life.
