Brilliant sound track!
the entire OST for Nier: Automata is amazing. i still need to play through Nier: Replicant and i think im looking forward to the music more than the game itself.
The carnival theme chefs kiss
One of my top picks. Music really sells the game.
I think the Katamari Damacy soundtrack is the one I return to the most. It's distilled joy.
Surprised Darren Korb hasn't had a mention yet.
Bastion and Hades have phenomenal OSTs.

honestly, the entirety of the final fantasy tactics soundtrack is my jam. especially when you recall specific moments when a track was played during the game. they have so much punch and they're always so epic. the boss tracks rule!
The composer, Hitoshi Sakimoto, has done many other games and they often have a very similar sound.
dude yes! final fantasy 12 is probably my second favorite soundtrack, if I'm rating my personal favorites from final fantasy in general. the world of Ivalice and the music he composed for it just hit different.
Agreed. I may or may not use a lot of his music for my ttrpg games. Nobody sets the atmosphere of a city quite like he does.
couldn't agree with you more, my friend! eruyt village immediately comes to mind. such a beautiful track. the beauty of the viera something as well! if you hadn't played ff tactics advance beforehand, you probably wouldn't have seen a viera before then. so it really just pulls you in. did I randomly go into the village just to hear the track from time to time? absolutely.
Zelda music, specifically from BOTW and TOTK. But all the Zelda games have great music.
I can't pick one so here's some of my favorites:
Ludwig, the Holy Blade
Devils Never Cry
Tenebre Rosso Sangue
The Hot Wind Blowing
And of course, Bury The Light
For me it's Doom 2016, it's just insane! Mick Gordon is a genius.
Corridors of Time - Chrono Trigger
I find Inon Zur’s tracks on fallout to be superb and can’t wait to see how the Starfield OST ends up, also Mick Gordon’s Doom OST is absolute perfection.
Licensed tracks in the Wipeout series are excellent, including the originals from Cold Storage. Such good memories playing the best AG racer.
Risk of Rain2. Especially the soundtrack for the Survivors of the Void dlc.
The whole album is amazing, but A Placid Island of Ignorance and Once in a Lullaby are epic. The way the ending and the beginning of the album use Prelude to D-Flat Major is so satisfying.
Chris Christodoulou is an amazing musician.
Pretty much anything from the first Ratchet and Clank game - Metropolis, Gemlik Base and Gaspar are some of my favourites
TMNT Turtles in Time. So overlooked. It is 100% unapologetic video game music, and it kicks holy amounts of ass.

Final Fantasy 6. Future FF games had bigger singles, but none have been as iconic from start to finish as FF6.

I can listen to the soundtrack from The Messenger. RainbowDragonEyes just absolutely knocked that one out of the park.
Fallout 4 theme music just is great. The game not so much but that menu with that music is awesome.
It's hard to pick a favorite but I find myself listening to the Hollow Knight soundtrack a lot while writing. It's fantastic!
Shout out to the Hades soundtrack though, I play that while playing D&D and my whole group loves it
The music from Myst is probably my favorite
Chrono Trigger's soundtrack is a personal favorite.
The Ultratron OST by Allicorn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBGa_w7TiKU&list=PLrNIBo_FmPQL3HB198VLSiO5FhztGXQYy
Both Katana Zero and Bomberman64 have absolutely incredible soundtracks. Very few game tracks stick with me, but both of those games have several incredible entries

I listen to my vinyl of the Skyrim soundtrack on a very regular basis.
Runner up would be Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
For me, it's Final Fantasy 8, killer7, and Medieval: Total War.
Minecraft. If I had to pick a song specifically, I'm gonna say Subwoofer Lullaby. It just really captures the calm, familiar feeling of "living" in Minecraft. Farming, renovating, adventuring, spelunking, etc. Whenever I'm working on something, ranging from just building the first rendition of a house in a new world to developing an automatic redstone-powered bamboo farm to supply a mass smelting furnace at the bottom of the world that uses water elevators for access, the soundtrack is unmatched.
It also just helps that it's an iconic game for people my age and I've spent years on and off playing it since alpha.
The Persona 5 and Hollow Knight soundtracks are excellent to me, followed closely by Celeste. Hollow Knight's music just sets the mood perfectly for the game.
Frontier: Elite 2 main theme by David Lowe, Amiga version. It may just be my memories from the game, but that track never fails to pick me up.
Crusader: No Remorse, the entire OST. Industrial meets 90s midi techno.
Ascendancy, OST by Nenad Vugrinec. Awesome ambient sounds.
and the Mass Effect OST.

Probably Crypt Of The Necrodancer, I don't have a favourite track though.
My fav, mostly because of nostalgia, has to be the final fantasy 9 soundtrack.
Battlefield OST
Perhaps some lesser known soundtracks would be those composed for the Samorost games by Floex. They're all fantastic, weird, and minimal but organic sounding. I love them a lot.
The OST from Persona 5, easily my most listened to soundtrack.
Descent II OST
The Last of Us is definitely the one soundtrack I listen to the most.
Honourable mentions: Mass Effect, Red Dead Redemption 2, Far Cry 5, Heavy Rain.
World of Warcraft, Undertale, Stardew Valley, Sonic Mania, Halo, Hollow Knight
Nintendo is cheating
The Furi OST is banger after banger. It's a who's who of syntheave artists. It's my go-to listen when I'm caffeinated and need to be productive.
Venus lighthouse from golden sun. It's still my ringtone!
Riding the Solar Wind - Stellaris.
