User:NegativeMP1/Draft/List of video game soundtracks considered the best

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL ARTICLE FROM 2018 WITH BAD SOURCING. DO NOT CONFUSE THIS WITH THE TRUE, NEWER LIST.
This is a list of video game soundtracks that have consistently been ranked among the best by video game journalists, critics and publications. It is largely based on "Top 10 / Top 100" type lists that purport to describe a publication's views of the soundtracks in gaming of all time. While any single publication's list often reflects its own taste, when the lists are taken in aggregate, a handful of games with a notable soundtrack have achieved something approaching critical consensus by multiple repeat appearances in such lists, and often ranking highly when they do appear.
