I'm going to be weird and say Undertale/Deltarune; Toby Fox is really good at music imo. The fact that he brought that talent with him into Pokemon Scarlet/Violet is admirable to me.
I also really enjoy the Katamari games and Silent Hill. The Pokemon games themselves also have some bangers, ngl.
Child of Light, Hades, Bastion, Icewind Dale, Dragon Age (any of them really), Heroes of Might and Magic 3-5, Dead Cells, Endless Legend, Pillars of Eternity, Pokemon Violet. Also Warframe, especially from The Second Dream and further period.
Outer Wilds is great. Have so many songs on my list of favourites!
Undertale, Deltarune, OneShot, Omori and Persona 5 Ik thats a lot but i love all of em
FFXIV and Nanashi are notable as they're by the same composer (latter game was done under a pseudonym) and even happen to share at least one song, in some form.
Soma Bringer has the most beautiful music of this list.
Last Guardian has the most inspiring music.
Games I've played:
Deep Rock Galactic, Terraria + Calamity, RuneScape
Haven't played, but love the soundtrack:
Ace Combat 7, Payday 2, Nier: Automata, Killer Instinct
Rock 'n' stone!
One game whose soundtrack is hard to get enough of is Deep Rock Galactic. Karl's End in particular is a favorite track of mine.
For me, Shovel Knight and Chrono Trigger tie for first, followed by Ocarina of Time and Super Mario World.
Fun fact: nearly every single song in the Super Mario World soundtrack is a variation on one single melody, so its diversity even with that constraint really showcases how cleverly it was created.
Taking it way back to the OG Unreal. The game was amazing as well as the music.
Sorry, it's early here, I can't think of any more.
+1 for Hollow Knight! I've actually been loving the music for Surviving Mars. maybe a bit niche, but really nice. Especially the "official mars radio" station.
Heh, just a few on the go: Witcher 3 Cyberpunk 2077 Divinity: Original Sin 2 ("Sing for me" 🥰) Battlefield 1 and V Hi-Fi Rush
Undertale is my #1. Bully is my #2.
The Trine series is an underappreciated masterpiece. I've never heard so many waltzes in a game before.
Genshin Impact's soundtrack is also gorgeous.
Kenshi's soundtrack has such an amazing, surreal sound. Such a vibe, love it.
I think my absolute favorite that I haven't seen here is Gris. This game is absolutely beautiful as is the OST.
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is surprisingly good. Surtur's theme is one of the best boss themes ive ever heard. I also really like using the Battle Brothers ost for my Pathfinder games.
The song in the final fight was SO fitting. And even more so the song during the credits. When they rolled I thought "wtf, that kind of music doesn't fit AT ALL", but then the lyrics started. And they fit so damn well they almost bring me to tears.
Divinity Original Sin 2 is my go-to.
Definitely the Halo games for me. I think Halo 2 would be my fav.
I also just really like the music from Sonic. Sonic Generations had a great OST.
Final Fantasy VII (all of them), Kingdom Hearts (all of them), Celeste and Toy Story 2 on the PS1 immediately come to mind.
Edit: Oh my god, how could I forget all of the personas, especially 3.
nobody has mentioned disco elysium? legendary soudtrack immo
There's some stuff across the Metal Gear Solid series that's pretty memorable.
Fire emblem radiant dawn is the pinnacle of human achievement and that includes its fucking awesome soundtrack
I have so many favorites, Ori soundtracks are amazing, Kingdom Hearts, Genshin Impact, Minecraft
For more lighthearted yet genius silliness though: Part Time UFO
Not really a game but a visual Novel everyone needs to read and listen to: Umineko
I’ve always been a fan of the Sim City soundtracks. Despite being a bummer of a game, the 2013 version is one of my favorite for just the music.
There's this french MMO i played as a kid called Dofus and that soundtrack still hits hard when I listen. I think part of it is nostalgia but also its just so beautiful
