Madden 10 has an unusally stacked soundtrack list. it is honestly absurd the sheer amount of legendary bands in that game
mlb 2k6 also has a great soundtrack, has interpol, pavement, fall of troy, pretty girls make graves, cornelius
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.
Chained Echoes
Witcher
Doom 2016
Planet coaster. Released on streaming, it’s just so relaxing.
Ace Combat, mainly Ace Combat 5 but all of them are well known for their soundtracks.
More recently WARNO has excellent music so far, even though most of it was licensed by Eugen from third parties so it doesn't really count as a soundtrack specific to the game.
I love game OST so it really depends on my mood. For now the vibe is Planet Coaster.
Having finally finished Horizon Forbidden West last night, I've got to choose that. Instant favourite for me. Nostalgic moments when the theme kicked in in one of its altered versions, and the credits just completely floored me. Stuck around for the whole 30+ mins. Wonderful.
Away from that, Mass Effect always needs a mention!
Same, Forbidden West had an absolutely banger soundtrack. Atmospheric and exciting, I put it on sometimes when I'm working to make the tasks feel more adventurous
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
So many! Where even to start?
- Assassin's Creed II (really the whole Ezio trilogy slaps)
- VA11 HALL-A is from a phenomenal cyberpunk bartending game
- PPPPPP - The VVVVVV Soundtrack is a more chiptune-oriented album from one of my favorite games
- The most recent God of War: Ragnarök soundtrack is pretty darn good
- The Monstercat x Rocket League playlists go pretty hard if you're in an EDM mood
Amon Tobins Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory soundtrack is a solid ambient/electronic album that I keep returning to.
Not OST but I really vibed with Fallout 3 radio. It was cool to learn about old songs from that game.
It's a very small soundtrack, but Demon Truck has absolute banger music. Definitely one of my favorites.
I can't believe no one has said Halo/Halo 2
Deus Ex Human Revolution, Mass Effect 1, Diablo 2.
Might and Magic IV-V (MT-32 / SC-55) Outer Wilds + Echoes DLC Gray Matter Alan Wake One Must Fall: 2097
Edit: more OSTs
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.
