Probably not the most unique take, but I still really love Minecraft's soundtrack (and other C418 tracks for that matter).

The Outer Wilds soundtrack is something I go back to regularly. Even considered buying the Vinyl...and I have no way of playing it.
The OST from Persona 5, easily my most listened to soundtrack.
World of Warcraft, Undertale, Stardew Valley, Sonic Mania, Halo, Hollow Knight
Nintendo is cheating
Riding the Solar Wind - Stellaris.
Ocarina Of Time and Super Mario 64 for sure.
Megaman and Donkey Kong Country also have some great chiptune music.
And The Witcher 3 for including so many different traditional instruments. The Elder Scrolls is also good.
Donkey Kong Country
Aquatic Ambiance has never not been on my cell phone(s)/mp3 player(s) over the last 20+ years and that's how I likes it.
Descent II OST
Venus lighthouse from golden sun. It's still my ringtone!
Chiming in with the Professor Layton games on DS. It's a whole vibe, sort of jazzy and woody and folky. Specially love the live versions

Only slightly on topic, but are you as hype as I am for the new one coming to switch??
Yep sad nothing got announced on the direct today but since we only got cinematics I assume it's still early development
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.
This will be unconventional, but I loved the music from Darksiders Genesis by Gareth Coker, the same composer who did Ori.
Best 3 tracks in my opinion are tracks The Beacons, Astarte's theme, and the Credits/trailer theme.
Kk Slider slaps
My favorite game music comes from A Dance of Fire and Ice, although it may seem obvious that a rhythm game would have to have good music. Divine Intervention is one of the highlights for me.
Ori and the Blind Forest
The Marble Gallery theme from SotN is aboslutely burned into my mind still.
Hard to pick just a few tracks, but some of my favorite original soundtracks are:
Nier Gestalt
Persona 5
The Witcher 3
Stellaris
For licensed ones, I particularly like Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Life is Strange: Before the Storm.
I have five fingers on one hand so here are five favorites:
- Far Cry 2 (especially title track)
- Jagged Alliance 2 (especially laptop music)
- Tie Fighter (it’s Star Wars)
- Assassin’s Creed Origins (Just beautiful, Sarah Schachner rocks)
- Crysis (Good example of why music and sound is like 50% of a good game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIFPHVAvOXs&t=203s)
Subwoofer Lulldlaby from Minecraft, Basically all of the Alpha album Minecraft music
The only game soundtrack I ever recall make a point of listening to is from Faster Than Light, it's some really good ambient music.
Maximum Anarchy's soundtrack
Xenogears and Chrono Trigger soundtracks, a lot of that is how they evoke good memories of playing the games long ago.
Just finished playing through Cassette Beasts and the music absolutely slaps.
Umm...let's try going through the ages
I was like 4: Gizmos & Gadgets ending theme. I'm pretty sure it's one of the few original songs The Learning Company did, there's very few clips of it because it was before even .wav was commonly used for music (due to file-size issues), it's a really cheerful song
Early Childhood: Space Quest 6 Main Theme is a bop, also Human 3 from the base game of Warcraft 2, and Orc 6 from the expansion. I miss the less ambient and more intense Warcraft music.
Listened to a lot of anime music around wc3's time...but peak music at the time was Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2, plus Phantasy Star Online thanks to the dreamcast. Especially 'Pray For IDOLA The Holy'. Grandia II also giving the Ver.3 and Ver.4 boss fights.
Nowadays with great music being everywhere? Probably Persona 5 in general.
The Xenoblade series has such great OSTs in general. If I have to pick just one track it's probably Engage the Enemy
I regularly listen to the Subnautica OST while working.
I'm currently hooked on the Bomberman 64 soundtrack again. That intro cutscene music and the world select still please my eardrums!
Diablo IV has a killer soundtrack.
silent hill and no more heroes are both franchises with amazing soundtracks.
(Old fuck here) Final Fantasy 6 and Castlevania Symphony of the Night. And it's not even close. Other games I like have some solid bangers (Halo, Doom, Zelda, etc), but I love those 2 games whole OSTs.
