A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Is 2016 old enough now?
The DOOM 2016 soundtrack fucking rips.
And tears
Until it is done
Let's try and keep it below ~~10~~ 11 entries:
- Disco Elysium
- Outer Wilds
- Hollow Knight
- Shadow of the Colossus + Ico
- Pyre (+all other Supergiant games)
- Valkyrie Profile
- Banner Saga trilogy
- Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
- Chrono Trigger + Cross
- Eastshade
Honestly nowadays so many games have great soundtracks, it is a joy to behold! Makes it harder to chose favorites though...
Hollow Knight is pure art
Really good list. I wanna add stardew valley and Nier automata aswell.
Als I'm gonna check out valkyrie profile tomorrow, I've never heard of that game.
Bastion, Beyond Good & Evil, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, Mirror's Edge.
and Hades, although I refuse to call it a "patient gamer" game
All the hades osts are so good. They just don't miss.
Hades, although I refuse to call it a “patient gamer” game
Why? It's 6 years old at this point so I think it qualifies.
shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up

All of Persona OSTs, if i had to pick one it would be 5, but all of them have songs on my playlist that i hear to this day.
I also love Devil May Cry OSTs, i heard bury the light on repeat for months
Persona 5 - Beneath the Mask. Still listening to this on a rainy days !
Last month i was on the bus back home and as the rain started to fall that music started to play, literal perfect timing

Bungie-era Halo has the best OST in the industry hands down, though recently Lunacid let me hear some certified bangers; someone here mentioned B:G&E, and I second that opinion although I wouldn't have thought of it myself.
Halo Reach was such an excellent send off. What a powerful soundtrack.

The Halo 3: ODST OST is so good, man.

FTL
Minecraft (incl. Wynncraft)
Minecraft soundtrack never gets old, even 3000 hours later I can still listen to it.
My top four haven't changed in a while:
- Chrono Cross
- Nier Gestalt/Replicant (original version)
- Persona 5
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
I love EDM, so any game that uses it or is inspired by it holds a special place in my heart, like Streets of Rage, Rez, Dance Dance Revolution, or the Trails of Cold Steel games (especially the second one).
Ones I haven't seen in this thread yet:
Cuphead, Cave Story, Celeste, Dredge, Furi, Katamari Damacy (and others in the series), Peggle, Super Mario Galaxy

Chrono Trigger
A lot of great choices already: Persona 5, Hades, Katamari Damacy.
A kind of odd left-field one I'd like to add specifically for great music in-game, is Guacamelee 2. I don't know that it's the kind of music I'm likely to put on just to listen to randomly, but as far as in-game atmospheric music goes I think it's both tremendous and refreshingly unique amongst the landscape of video game music.
Sly cooper 1, crash twinsanity, Witcher 3, Banjo-Kazooie, Hi-Fi Rush, Nier Automata

Homeworld and Hotline Miami are my two favorites!
Hotline Miami is an all timer for sure
Halo Reach, hands down. Phenomenal, all the feels
Golden Sun GBA soundtrack. Also there are some really nice remixes of the fan community. The game is from 2001 but can be played with Nintendo Switch online subscription. As well as the second game (they are basically one game).

Final Fantasy VI, so much so that when OverClocked Remix kick started a remix album, I donated to it

Ace Combat, all of them but especially the PS2 Holy Trinity.
Shadow of the Colossus.
NFSU2, Most Wanted and Burnout 3, even if theyre licensed music and not really original.
Doom midis in general are fun. Touhou games too.

Deus Ex and System Shock 2
Metroid Prime
To The Moon
I have played that game five times (so I could share the experience with other people) and have broken down into tears at the end every time.
Bloodborne OST is the first that comes to mind for me.
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
Feeling nostalgic and I was just listening to the Pokemon gen2 soundtrack
