NieR, DOS:2, BG3, Halo, GoW, 2077, Deus Ex: Human Rev, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture....

I don't pay that much attention to music when I'm grinding, but I still feel the sadness hearing soundtracks from TLOU series

Good enough to be stuck in my head decades later. PS1 / N64 era was pure gold. The intro to Wind Waker is unforgettable. Deus Ex. Unreal. Quake. Yeah, it's good.

So many games have done a good job, sound-wise, for the the last two decades. I really find it important for imersion and overall enjoyment.

8-bit is great and my all time favorite soundtrack is Mega Man 2.

For more modern CD quality stuff, Grim Fandango is probably the only one I actually like. It’s a lot of big band music

Weeb… but you know you hear the super smash theme and you just can’t help but be taken back to the character selection screen. Also that Wii theme…just makes me want to browse them mini games

Lots of great game music from the beginning of gaming. There are symphonies that play concerts of just Legend of Zelda songs. Great stuff.

The Nier Automata soundtrack is incredible, but ill say the only gaming soundtrack ive ever listened to on its own with any regularity was the Doom 2016 one

The joy of Super Mario Bros theme, the bubbly carnival music of the water levels, the panic of the timer under 100, and the doom of the castle levels... EPIC!!!

I love all the dark soul games music, bloodborne, sekiro etc

Soundtracks are IMNSHO the place to find solid modern "classical" music. Examples include all NieR soundtracks (Okabe Keiichi), Morrowind/Oblivion/Skyrim (Jeremy Soule), the Dragon Age series soundtracks, the Witcher series soundtracks.

Outside the "classical" space, all Deus Ex games have strong soundtracks, as does the Mirror's Edge series. EVE Online has memorable tracks. Frozen Synapse. I'm probably forgetting many more.

@Sqveak - One of the major selling points of Quake was the NiN soundtrack

I always suggest Octopath Traveler music to gamers familiar with old Japanese RPGs.

Thanks for reminding me to buy FF7 Rebirth, in a roundabout way! Lol

A lot of the reason I like videogames is because many of them put real effort into the soundtrack. I got sucked into Final Fantasy MMO land because I went to a Distant Worlds concert and liked the music that much. The soundtrack quality still hasn't slipped, years later.

Super Mario tunes looping in my head
