Mine is Skyrim.
I always come back to its music. It’s uplifting, telling me that everything’s gonna be alright. I have its songs in many different playlists.
Megaman 2
I feel like Payday 2s sound track is underappreciated in general conversations about game music.
It has gotten a driving beat to it and instills both anxiety and courage. Not to mention how they have a system similar to the L4D2 Director system where the gameplay is perfectly matched and foreshadowed by the music.
As a teen I I sed to fall asleep listening to Might and Magic IV. You could literally put the disc in a player because the soundtrack was saved as wav files.
Mega Man 2. Every song on every level is an absolute banger. EVERY SINGLE ONE. I’ll die on that hill.
Shoutout to Control though for that one song in that one level (if you know, you know).
As an Asian and a fan of Doom Eternal, I really enjoyed Shadow Warrior 3’s soundtrack.
My personel favs are : GTA VC, Hades and TLOU. I listen those OSTs for years and they still hit hard.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Such an epic soundtrack. Listened to it countless times. Micheal McCann did an amazing job.
I am floored no one mentioned the original Ratchet and Clank

David Bergeaud did such a standout job with it, it's so varied but cohesive, it's engaging and synthy but real and groovy.
It MAKES the environment just as much as graphics.
Little Big Planet. Every level’s music track brilliantly fit both the aesthetic and tempo. The sequels never cam close to capturing that same magic as the first one.
Wow… so many choices. Skyrim is a great shout.
I remember hearing the Halo soundtrack for the first time was incredible so feel I have to go with that.
Other worthy mentions:
In no particular order: Witcher 3 Trails/Kiseki series Mass Effect series Outer Wilds Doom 2016
Doom Eternal
Subnautica. Because people get addicted to music by their emotions/feelings. And emotions/feelings in this game are WOW.
Great Gianna Sisters on the C64
Ragnarok Online. I love you, SoundTEMP.
I’ve always enjoyed the music in The World Ends With You
Homeworld. Really effective soundtrack, heightened tension and the feeling of being out in empty space.
Sword & Sworcery
I can’t believe nobody has said Furi! That game lives through its soundtrack. The game is a series of intense boss fights, but during production they sent concept art and fight details to the artists so the music better matched the scenario, and it all came together beautifully.
Also hotline Miami
I really dug the music in CP2077 (and, especially, Phantom Liberty). More so than in a similar game (GTA5), I really enjoyed the radio stations, too. The use of leitmotifs lifted the score.
I also fondly recall the soundtrack of RDR2.
Does all the great music in Fallout4 count?
Mine is One Must Fall 2097.
There are some excellent remixes on YouTube if you haven’t heard them!
World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lichking soundtrack is fire
Sim City 3000
OG StarCraft. Terran theme is an absolute classic.
Dark Souls 2. I spent a lot of time standing in Majula just soaking in that music. So comforting yet melancholy, like sitting in front of a quiet fire, knowing in a minute you have to walk through a blizzard.
Original Doom. Best Doom.
Carmaggedon 1 and TDR, Darksiders 2 and 3, Bastion, Flatout, Plague Tale, Devil May Cry
I started so many games in Morrowind the music in Sends Neen is imprinted upon me forever.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2, by a wide margin. Skyrim/Morrowind are in the top 5.

Always enjoyed Skyrim’s soundtrack, but while I love it, I still enjoy and prefer Oblivions soundtrack more.
Oblivion was my introduction to the Elder Scrolls universe and the music from that game has kinda become embedded in my mind. Just my general go to music for fantasy environments including for DND or Pathfinder sessions.
I love Morrowinds music too, but if I had played Morrowind back when it first came out, I would have ranked it’s soundtrack higher than Oblivions.
