The original Destiny sound track was fire
I am personally in love with Far Cry 5's soundtrack.
For me definitively the soundtrack of Boneworks (which is also the best VR game I know). Especially its main theme ("Bone Theme") and "Who am I"
Some more awesome OSTs in no particular order: Minecraft, Banjo-Kazooie / Banjo Tooie, Witcher 3, Risk of Rain 2
Not exactly answering the question, but hearing every generational rendition of Proof of a Hero throughout the Monster Hunter games still gives me the feels
I played a beautiful game last year called Omno, and the soundtrack to that was just breathtaking. I listen to it all the time
The theme song of Locoroco. Though the lyrics are in a made-up language, I can feel the desire for world peace in this song.
Wingspan. I have the Vinyl OST.
Monument Valley is quite nice too.
Tunic has an otherworldly soundtrack. It's perfect music to listen to while working. https://youtu.be/nnvjKf_mRYM
A few i havent seen mentioned.
Sonic 2 and 3 on megadrive. Especially the ice zone with the snowboard on 3. https://youtu.be/hYxlqTpZ-24
Icewind dale. The kuldahar music is epic. https://youtu.be/B92P1-OUNJo or easthaven in peace https://youtu.be/ERd5stTsaBc
I'm going to go for a bit of a deeper cut and say Mad Rat Dead. They took a genre which relies so heavily on the strength of its music (rhythm platformer), and produced a soundtrack where literally every song is a banger, and produced some great emotional moments as well--the transition from Cottage House to Kind of Hope and Neuchatel still makes me choke up just thinking about it.
I'm a big fan of the Offworld Trading Company OST.

Ace Combat
Skyrim was pretty epic… even the “wandering around” music was perfect.
But my #1 is Still Alive (closing theme song to Portal).
Haven't seen it mentioned, but, Spiritfarer
Tony Hawk was a big one. The EA sports games always have some bangers that get stuck in your head. One of my favorite video game moments, though, was bombing the tobacco fields to Bomba Estereo's "Fuego", in Far Cry 6. They employed music well, throughout, but that moment was really enveloping.
Samurai Shodown series has an amazing soundtrack. A mix of traditional Japnese sound, rock music, chaotic jazz, and ambient sound that barely resembles a song. The ending of 3 is my ultimate 'get pumped' song:
Star control 2 was the absolute best imo
Hughe fan of the low roar songs in death stranding
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=33ZP8_aAdNI
Kenshi has some of the best ambient music. Scorching wind gives chills every time.
Modern Warfare 2 (2009)
Left 4 Dead
Warcraft classic - TBC - WOTLK - Cataclysm
They are Billions
Castlevania, Zelda and Silent Hill (though I'd say all first 3) mentioned so I'm gonna say Alundra. Sure it's very Zelda/JRPG, but that game had some amazing music that just sticks with you.
Also a little tongue in cheek, but Adventures of Lolo. I'm not sure if there's just one song throughout the trilogy, but it sure feels like it. Weirdly it doesn't bother you. It's like a hypnosis that just makes you play one more level. One more try. Kind of like the Tetris soundtrack, but it never gets old.
Shadowrun for Sega Genesis
Diablo 1 - Tristram Theme
I'm going to give honorable mention to Buck Bumble on the N64.
I remember basically nothing about the game, or even if it was any good, but I rented it once at blockbuster and like 2 decades later the theme song still pops into my head once in a while.
Buck to the bass
Deep Stone Lullaby fro the Deep Stone Crypt raid in Destiny 2.
It’s an absolutely beautiful piece of music, but so much impactful more when tied to where it appears in the raid as you battle your way across the underside of the space station, all of the other sounds muffled by the vacuum of space.
I don’t know who the guy is, but this video of DrLupo playing it with an orchestra playing the track live while he does is pretty damned amazing.
I listen to "Carmeaty Burana" from Super Meat Boy all the time.
Pretty much any Danny Baranowsky is gonna be good.
I'm surprised that no one mentioned the Metal Gear Solid series. The music was incredible, and it's got one of the most memorable songs in Snake Eater. I'm also a big fan of Can't Say Goodbye to Yesterday .
