Personally, I'm a huge fan of Hollow Knight, Ori and the (Blind Forest/Will of the Wisps), and Kingdom Hearts. Orchestral soundtracks are just something else...

I'm a huge fan of Destiny 2's OSTs - the game definitely has some issues every now and then, but the art of the game (the music, the sounds, the environmental skyboxes, textures, etc) never fail me. I especially like the OSTs for each of the game's raids.

Here's my favorite song from the newest raid, "Root of Nightmares" - it ties in so well with what is actually occurring in that encounter, you get to move the planets of our solar system around! There's also an "Action" phase to the song that starts to play as you begin making the boss vulnerable, which most of the raid encounter songs tend to have.

Similarly, this song belongs to the final boss encounter for that same raid.

Then there's this song which wasn't from a raid, but one of the early expansions. It still gives me shivers when I hear the beginning of it, and then it starts to really ramp up towards the last third of the track.

Seriously, Destiny's music never ceases to amaze me! I didn't ever expect a whole season themed around pirates (though we did get a dungeon that was pirate themed before this), and got some killer music to go with it!
