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.

Bloodborne OST is the first that comes to mind for me.
Hollow Knight, though I don't really listen to it outside the game.
Cyberpunk has some great songs on the radio.
Anything handled by Nobou Uematsu.
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
Bit dated, but at the time Descent II’s Redbook sountrack was pretty good for ‘96.
Gravity rush is pretty damn good. Haven't played the second one yet
mantis Lords from hollow knight
The Last of Us 1 & 2, all the Katamari games, Death Stranding
Aquaria: Original Soundtrack

Such an underrated game. RIP Alec.
Love the Towerfall OST myself, it was such a shock to hear about him.
SimCity 4 ❤️
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.

Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Lunar SSSC, Final Fantasy, Wild ARMs
Hyper Light Drifter and Return of the Obra Dinn for different reasons.
I try to listen to the HLD soundtrack every so often, but always find it slightly uncomfortable without the game
Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2, OBVIOUSLY.
Ash of the Gods and Pilgrims
Civ 3 had some killer modern music.
