Super Mario Galaxy has an amazing soundtrack!
Warhammer 40,000 Mechanicus Just embodies the Techpreist vibe so well, a near perfect hybrid of church organs and industrial music.
Its actually hard to pick a favorite track, it evenly split between Children of the Omnissiah and Noosphere.
Turrican 2 on the Amiga
I can’t pick just one, but these are among my favourites:
- Prince of Persia 3D
- Grim Fandango
- Descent
- Skyrim
- Far Cry 2

MW2: Mercenaries was pretty awesome.
Other ones that come to mind are Crazy Taxi and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.
The song from the first level of Sonic Adventure 2 (the one about escaping the city). It catchy to listen to while all of the action of Sonic unfolds.
It's nice to see so many different awnsers, gaming has just so many good soundtracks.
Personally, I love the soundtrack of the original Xenoblade Chronicles. "Engage the Enemy" really hits during the cutscene it plays.
Another recomendation is Xenoblade Chronicles 3's "Words that never reached you"
90% of the Sonic Frontiers "Cyberspace" tracks are S tier. The best soundtrack in recent memory.

You just have to understand the concept of love!
Jet Set Radio Future and Jet Grind Radio. No question. Hideki Nakanuma is a genius.
Oh and Dance Dance Revolution 3rd, 4th, and 5th miss.
Sonic Mania - Hydrocity Zone Act 2
Total Annihilation
That's a tough one. And I don't think it's fair. From one generation to the next, music in video games has evolved quite a bit.
And each console had its own quirks for the music chip. Some later consoles played directly from CDs.
On the NES, I think Megaman 2 and Journey to Silius had kick-ass chip tune soundtracks.
On the SNES, I'd say Uniracer had a great rock soundtrack. Star Fox also had an epic soundtrack. Oh and Killer Instinct was fantastic. It even came with a music CD with the soundtrack. But my all time fave has to be the TMNT IV game soundtrack. And I'll give a special shoutout to Chrono Trigger.
On the Sega Genesis, I think the Sonic series had an amazing newjack and fusion jazz style soundtrack.
On N64, and PlayStation I particularly LOVED the Wipeout racing game soundtracks with music from my all time favorite electronica bands of the time. Goldeneye 007 holds a special place in my heart as well.
After that it gets really hard because so many games have incredible music. It's hard to choose.

Celeste and Pokemon mystery dungeon explorers of sky
half life franchise (seriously every game has perfect and fitting soundtrack) super meat boy (both the original 2010 soundtrack composed by danny b and the 2015 soundtrack made by various artists rock. but the 2010 soundtrack is one of the most iconic soundtracks ever made in my opinion.)
Okami has a truly beautiful soundtrack, my favourites are the 'The Sun Rises' and The Eight Dog Warriors Theme'. Also Calamari Inkantation from Splatoon is fantastic.
Risk of Rain 2
Pretty much the entire Castlevania : Symphony of the night soundtrack... It's all so good. And nostalgic too. One of my favorite games, and favorite soundtracks.

Definitely the best video game music is from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Stains of Time is my favorite.
I love listening to Rimworlds OST and Hotline Miamis soundtrack.
