The cherry grove town song from Pokemon silver or gold is dope, perfect sipping fare
- Alto’s Adventure Soundtrack (which is driven by the composer of the band Lydian Collective)
- Machinarium Soundtrack (Floex / Tomas Dvorak)
Both are IMHO absolutely the perfect amount of “bright chill” you want for an early coffee
Tim Follin makes good music. Try the NES Pictionary theme song and if you like that Solstice theme song will blow you away.
not video game but gives me monster hunter/one piece vibes
IV. Allegro con fuoco - Dvorak (Symphony No. 9, ‘From the New World’)
Start your day in Tarrey Town
“Cafe Ghibli” is also good over coffee, but that’s bending the rules

For me, it’s the Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack.
The soundtrack from Risk of Rain 2 and Hades are my favorites atm.
Deus Ex Human Revolution soundtrack hits just right for me.
Anything from Grim Fandango
The Psychonauts soundtracks, either the first or second game, but I’d say moreso the first one. About a third of the songs are kinda country twangy instrumentals because the game takes place in a summer camp. They’re the perfect lazy summer day songs imo.
Especially the track Whispering Rock from the first games.
Finally got around to playing part 2 last week and it’s phenomenal. The soundtrack in part two has the perfect blend of campy secret agent themes and the summer camp nostalgia vibes.
I love all the spy ones like Loboto Interior Sneak, Landing At The Luctopus, and Casino Hallway Sneak. Honorable mention for Here’s How it’s Done.
But imo the combat music in Psychonauts 2 is where the soundtrack really shines. I mean just listen to A Little Fight Music, Lady Luctopus, Panic Attack, Fight in the Library, and pretty much any boss music from the second one. Each track is so punchy and energetic.
Can’t go wrong here.
The Tristram theme from Diablo always makes me want to stay a while and listen.
