Tarkov is known for how great the soundscape is. I highly recommend using the SPTarkov mod to play offline though.

Might not be in the way you're thinking but gtfo fits that description for me. You're creeping around listening for the sounds of the enemies waking up and every little sound has you on edge. At least when you first play it.
Never played it personally, but I remember being really satisfied with the sounds from Hawken watching the gameplay trailers. https://youtu.be/udEAEARD-Fo
Edit: reading up on it, the final game was pretty lame, and it’s apparently dead now.
Hawken was fun, but it was trapped in a weird position between a real "mecha game" and traditional arena shooter that didn't really satisfy either crowd.
assetto corsa competizione
or really any quality racing game. its almost like 50% of my enjoyment
Literally bought it this weekend for the awesome force feedback. Blows F1 22 out of the water.
Max Payne 3. The soundtrack is amazing and blended perfectly into the game.
@CosmicSploogeDrizzle@lemmy.ml, you're going to want in on this conversation.
Maybe not the answer you're looking for, but the sounds in Vampire Survivors are like straight dopamine injections especially when you start ramping up towards the end of a run.
For a unique take... The music and background sounds in Kenshi. Music is so sparse that when it does kick in, and how it kicks in, is just really unlike any other game.
The soundscape and music of Inside is godly. Honestly I think half the game's atmosphere is the audio.
Devil Daggers has amazing sound design, and it has hrtf, so I could aim at some enemies blindly.
It's a small game though, and not for everyone.
I don't care for the Warhammer universe, or Tactics games all that much. Tactics game Warhammer 40k: Mechanicus held my attention for far longer than it should have thanks to its incredible sound design.
Amnesia Rebirth has some of the most anxiety inducing, creepy ambient sounds. If you like to be scared...
Phasmophobia and Visage are two other horror games that I think have really excellent sound design.
The modern hitman trilogy had some really good sound design from my experience. Definitely recommended with a good pair of headphones. Realistic but also crisp.
Squad! Some of the sounds from bullets rushing over your head as tanks and artillery drone on in the distance really creates a surreal feeling like your actually there.
