Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 and anything at all by Jeremy Soule (Guild Wars, Morrowind/Oblivion/Skyrim, Dungeon Siege).
Patient Gamers
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.

Neon White has a killer soundtrack by Machine Girl. Highly recommend it for anyone into DnB (the game also isn't bad).
Literally every Supergiant game.
Shovel Knight.
Outstanding compositions and Famitracker work by Virt.
The factorio space age dlc. Particularly track 06 from Fulgora.
The developer gets a lot of hate but the Fez soundtrack really complemented the game.
Also any soundtrack done by Disasterpeace is basically gold.
Civ 3 has my fav soundtrack. My favorite is this gem you get in the modern era:
Batman the Videogame on the NES, FFVII, the entire WipEout series, original soundtrack for Crazy Taxi, Sonic the Hedgehog 3/Sonic & Knuckles, X-Men on the Sega Genesis, WET, Omega Boost, Zone of the Enders, BurnOut 3: Takedown, Mobile Suit Gundam: The Lost War Chronicles, Roommania #203, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Mega Man 2 & 3, Doom, SSX Tricky, Xenogears.
Holy shit, how did I forget Wipeout and Zone of the Enders in my list? Great picks beyond those too.
Legend of Mana, Stardew Valley, Persona 5, Danganronpa Series, Pokemon Gold,Silver,Crystal
The Bastion OST by Darren Korb is amazing and introduced me to his other music, which is also great!
OTXO and what's even more impressive is that the developer of the game made the music himself! GhostRunner had a bangin' ass soundtrack too.
Chrono Cross.
Hyperlight Drifter
Cobalt Core
They're in the same vein but it's some of the best chiptune-esque music I've ever heard. They're not these one note, one tempo, same vibe over and over again tracks. They have feeling and movement. Almost melancholic at times. Scary in the case of HLD. They remind me a lot of mid 2010s prog metal in some respects. Not the heaviness or the distorted guitars, but the melodies and creativity with sound that pushed music forward in those years. Like the last track of the Cobalt Core ost flows right into My Last Serenade by Killswitch Engage and it's a chefs kiss of greatness. They're both top 5 video game ost for me.
The 7th Guest and The 11th Hour!

I have this soundtrack constantly stuck in my head, especially Ghost of Bo
Kingdom Hearts
Yoko Shimomura is outrageously talented. Obviously there's a lot of Disney-esque stuff mixed in, but there are a bunch of original tracks that are epic af
