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.

Halo Reach, hands down. Phenomenal, all the feels
Journey
I agree, the whole game is an art piece.
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).
Golden Sun GBA soundtrack.
I love this soundtrack so much. They got some really nice synthesised woodwind effect out of that chipset. I don't think I ever heard anyone else do the same.
I was a disappointed with the latest Golden Sun's ost in comparison. It's fully hi-fi orchestral, but so much more forgettable.
How has nobody mentioned Rimworld? Such an incredible soundtrack!
Been playing again recently after noticing there was a new DLC I didn't have. I like the new tracks added by Anomaly.
I'll skip the obvious ones with multiple artists like Furi, Katana Zero, Hotline Miami, Crypt of the Necrodancer...

The Transistor soundtrack for me is a masterpiece, still come back to it once in a while.

right now i'll have to go with "The Neverhood Chronicles", it's stuck in my head since i started playing it again last week on a PS1 Emu.
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.
Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is a close 2nd Edit: almost forgot about FEZ!

Chrono Trigger
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.
I think PS2 era might be the overall strongest collection of soundtracks, both original score and licensed music.
But I’m biased cause it’s my favorite console.
Anything handled by Nobou Uematsu.
Hollow Knight, though I don't really listen to it outside the game.
Cyberpunk has some great songs on the radio.
Final Fantasy VI, so much so that when OverClocked Remix kick started a remix album, I donated to it
Look into the sins of your past!
Love as if today were your last!
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!
Metroid Prime
Aquaria: Original Soundtrack
by Alec Holowka
Such an underrated game. RIP Alec.
Love the Towerfall OST myself, it was such a shock to hear about him.
Metal Gear Rising Revengence Need for Speed Most Wanted Hi-Fi Rush
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
Undertale, Celeste, Katamari, Syonara Wild Hearts, Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid, Persona 4G, Persona 5R
Feeling nostalgic and I was just listening to the Pokemon gen2 soundtrack
