A good vinyl soundtrack is that fine balancing act of art and entertainment, the cover is a tactile game-adjacent work of art, something to admire and collect, but inside is the soundtrack that brings back the emotion of playing your favourite game. It's a similar feeling to playing on a retro game console, and just as collectable.
In this collection, I've listed some of my favourite soundtracks on sale at the moment, and include music from Death Stranding and Doom: The Dark Ages, as well as older games like Civilisation and Jesper Kyd's Hitman 2 OST. There's even room for a little Pokémon easy listening.
There are newer and more elaborate game soundtracks around, ones that package in all sorts of amazing art and extras, and rare soundtracks fans covet, such as the beautiful Baldur's Gate 3 soundtrack bundle, and the lovely Shadow of the Colossus OST – but that will cost you $800. Instead, the vinyls below are discounted and on sale, making them good deals and lovely things you'll want to sit on a shelf and listen to.
