Bloodborne OST is the first that comes to mind for me.
Ash of the Gods and Pilgrims
The old Deus Ex and Endless Space are the ones I listen to the most.
Mechanicus and
Ixion
Both games came out fairly recent and have OSTs by Guillaume David. They are both good games on their own, but get great due to the OST.

Witcher 3: Lelelelele
I love that one can still web search for that and still find the song 😂
The Sims 2
Civ 3 had some killer modern music.
Morrowind and project wingman are peak. FFXIV is fantastic with a persistent leitmotif across each entire expansion. The final endwalker boss basically wrapped up YEARS worth of story and that fight music was a medly featuring every expansion’s leitmotif and holy shit I can’t get over how incredible it was. Also the pandaemonium raid music. And Alexander. Seriously you can rabbit hole for HOURS on FFXIV music.
Project wingman and the Ace combat series is great!
Outer Wilds (and Echoes of the Eye) technically qualifies with the community’s rules, but I think the answer more in keeping with the spirit of things is Shadow of the Colossus. The Opened Way is the most “fighting a building-sized monster as a normal guy but still winning” piece of music I have heard
Gravity rush is pretty damn good. Haven’t played the second one yet
Bit dated, but at the time Descent II’s Redbook sountrack was pretty good for ‘96.
Hyper Light Drifter and Return of the Obra Dinn for different reasons.
I try to listen to the HLD soundtrack every so often, but always find it slightly uncomfortable without the game
- Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
- Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
Journey
I agree, the whole game is an art piece.
Homeworld and Hotline Miami are my two favorites!
Hotline Miami is an all timer for sure
