Really really obscure but I could never take this song off my head, from A Thousand Arms, psx game. Game was a goor jrpg.
The original Destiny sound track was fire
Diablo 1 - Tristram Theme

Kenshi has some of the best ambient music. Scorching wind gives chills every time.
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.
Tunic has an otherworldly soundtrack. It's perfect music to listen to while working. https://youtu.be/nnvjKf_mRYM
Your reality is amazing
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.

I still listen to the NSFU2 soundtrack today when I feel the need for a bit of hard hitting sound, with some variety.
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.
Wingspan. I have the Vinyl OST.
Monument Valley is quite nice too.
It’s not better than Tetris I’ll admit. But I’ve always had a soft spot for the Mass Effect soundtrack.
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
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.
I am personally in love with Far Cry 5's soundtrack.
Shadowrun for Sega Genesis
Hands down, DOOM Eternal
Eternal had some great beats. Hell on earth is a great track. I love the demonic chant for the arctic hell base too.
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
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
