Doom 2016
I really lime the Dark Souls 3 soundtrack. Elden Ring's is okay, but there's just something about it that isn't as cool.
Sekiro's is good in an entirely different reason. It's a different style so I wanted to mention it separately.
I also like what they did with Pokemon Black and White I and II. Driftveil City theme lives rent free in my mind.
Deus Ex Human Revolution, Mass Effect 1, Diablo 2.
Civilisation IVs Baba Yetu. Still gives me chills. I’ve seen it performed by a small choir and is just as good. https://youtu.be/IJiHDmyhE1A
My favorite would probably be Super Mario Galaxy 2 OST. That game had really good music, so good I think it got nominated for an award or something. The music is nice and riveting.
Probably GTA SA. Blew my tiny mind to find out Tommy "The Nightmare" Smith, singer of Crystal Ship was voiced by Axl Rose.
You're on The Dust
Then again, VC had some absolute bangers too and I think is the only GTA that had me listening to the pop channel as much as the rock channel.
Wow, I didn’t know he was one of the voices. That’s great lmao. I love how many celebrities they manage to get for the stations. Like Kenny Loggins, Frank Ocean, Iggy Pop, Kat Williams.
The Dig, FFVII, Indiana Jones and the fate of atlantis, Morrowind, Quake.
Lots more, especially classic midi tracks but those are my top 5 (subject to change of mood and season).
Shout out to Morrowind. That opening menu BOOM, BOOM-BOOM gives me chills.
Also Final Fantasy VIII, X, XII are some of my favorites of the series. But the franchise really has a lot of top-tier music.
It's a very small soundtrack, but Demon Truck has absolute banger music. Definitely one of my favorites.
Assuming visual novels count as "games", probably one of the best soundtracks I've ever run across is the one for Everlasting Summer. Both Silent Owl (Sergey Eybog) and Between August and December did amazing work on it.
Dr. Wily's Castle from Mega Man 2.
Gotta run gotta run now
All of Mega Man 2's soundtrack was amazing. Such an improvement over the original game.
Did you know? That song had to be made shorter, and was reused in the second level, due to them running out of space on the cartridge.
Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus
I have played 4 Warhammer games and never touched the tabletop. Don't know how I got into this game but once I did, it didn't leave my head. I have one shuffle list I listen to and this sits there very comfortably.
Amon Tobins Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory soundtrack is a solid ambient/electronic album that I keep returning to.
Infamous for introducing me to one of my now all time favorite musicians. Amon Tobin.
And a lot earlier Quake that planted the first seeds for my love of NIN.
Not OST but I really vibed with Fallout 3 radio. It was cool to learn about old songs from that game.
I love Flatout soundtrack - wreck cars and listen to Symphony of destruction and other songs.

Recently I completed Crossing Souls. It's a game overloaded with 80s nostalgia. The soundtrack is from two composers. The first has 80s synth tracks while the other providers John Williams / Amblin like scores as the story of a group of young friends and feels like a movie from that time.
Double Dragon Neon has an absolutely banging soundtrack. I wish I could get it on Spotify, but it's only on Bandcamp. Mango Tango is amazing.
Ape Escape goes hard. It's not just the nostalgia.
Thomas was alone has a great soundtrack imo.
Every time when people talk about game soundtracks, they should include Chrono Cross
For recent games, FFXVI has an amazing soundtrack, I think the OST will be released on July 19th
I recently replayed Persona PSP, and that game has amazing soundtrack, but kinda marred by the fact that there's only one non-boss battle them, and the encounter rate is too high, so you ended up listening to the same song all the time.
