Morrowind and project wingman are peak. FFXIV is fantastic with a persistent leitmotif across each entire expansion. The final endwalker boss basically wrapped up YEARS worth of story and that fight music was a medly featuring every expansion's leitmotif and holy shit I can't get over how incredible it was. Also the pandaemonium raid music. And Alexander. Seriously you can rabbit hole for HOURS on FFXIV music.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Anything handled by Nobou Uematsu.
I'll skip the obvious ones with multiple artists like Furi, Katana Zero, Hotline Miami, Crypt of the Necrodancer...

The Transistor soundtrack for me is a masterpiece, still come back to it once in a while.

Those are also among my favorites. Also the Title Theme to Anno 1404: When Cultures Meet and the Beyond Good and Evil Soundtrack.
Also a great theme is used all over Tilo Alpermann's - The Night Of The Rabbit OST
How has nobody mentioned Rimworld? Such an incredible soundtrack!
Been playing again recently after noticing there was a new DLC I didn't have. I like the new tracks added by Anomaly.
Witcher 3: Lelelelele
I love that one can still web search for that and still find the song 😂
Aquaria: Original Soundtrack
by Alec Holowka
Such an underrated game. RIP Alec.

Hollow Knight, though I don't really listen to it outside the game.
Cyberpunk has some great songs on the radio.
Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is a close 2nd Edit: almost forgot about FEZ!
Lonely Rolling Star is one of the best vijia game songs ever made.
Chrono Trigger
A lot of great choices already: Persona 5, Hades, Katamari Damacy.
A kind of odd left-field one I'd like to add specifically for great music in-game, is Guacamelee 2. I don't know that it's the kind of music I'm likely to put on just to listen to randomly, but as far as in-game atmospheric music goes I think it's both tremendous and refreshingly unique amongst the landscape of video game music.
Final Fantasy VI, so much so that when OverClocked Remix kick started a remix album, I donated to it

Ace Combat, all of them but especially the PS2 Holy Trinity.
Shadow of the Colossus.
NFSU2, Most Wanted and Burnout 3, even if theyre licensed music and not really original.
Doom midis in general are fun. Touhou games too.
I think PS2 era might be the overall strongest collection of soundtracks, both original score and licensed music.
But I’m biased cause it’s my favorite console.
Metroid Prime
- Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
- Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
Bloodborne OST is the first that comes to mind for me.
Outer Wilds (and Echoes of the Eye) technically qualifies with the community's rules, but I think the answer more in keeping with the spirit of things is Shadow of the Colossus. The Opened Way is the most "fighting a building-sized monster as a normal guy but still winning" piece of music I have heard
Undertale, Celeste, Katamari, Syonara Wild Hearts, Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid, Persona 4G, Persona 5R
Feeling nostalgic and I was just listening to the Pokemon gen2 soundtrack
Prince of Persia 2008
Also Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2003).
Pokemon USUM. If there was a looped version of the tracks, I‘d probably listen to it every day lol, it just boosts my mood. Sadly, the soundtrack (that I have) has them at 1-2 minutes.
Gravity rush is pretty damn good. Haven't played the second one yet
The Last of Us 1 & 2, all the Katamari games, Death Stranding
Trepang2
mantis Lords from hollow knight
Civ 3 had some killer modern music.
