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
Hollow Knight, though I don't really listen to it outside the game.
Cyberpunk has some great songs on the radio.
Bloodborne OST is the first that comes to mind for me.
Anything handled by Nobou Uematsu.
Unreal Tournament 2004 is my favorite OST by number of tracks that I love. It has several absolute banger tracks, like Morpheus3, Hyperblast-Redux, Convoy, Atlantis and Level11. I often keep a number of those tracks on my playlists.
Although I don't like the game itself much (I suck at it), Cloudbuilt also has some awesome tracks, my personal favorite is Aurora. The guitar chords at the apex is just heavenly.
Rebel Galaxy has some very nice stuff to feel like a 'merican space cowboy, it's mostly licensed music as far as i can tell.
Assault Android Cactus usually gets your blood pumping hard, which is great because the game is a pretty fun twin-stick arena. The tracks Assault and Licorice are just ๐จโ๐ณ๐๐
... Come to think of it, looking at my list, I'm a real sucker for sci-fi OSTs, huh. I do want to make honorable mentions to Mass Effect (mostly 2), Skyrim and Smash Bros. Ultimate
Bit dated, but at the time Descent IIโs Redbook sountrack was pretty good for โ96.
All you young'uns and your fancy moderns music.
Nothing beats Gone Jackals songs in Full Throttle.
Minecraft
Nier Automata
Subnautica
The Last of Us 1 & 2, all the Katamari games, Death Stranding
Trepang2
The Sims 2
Gravity rush is pretty damn good. Haven't played the second one yet
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2
The Neverhood
Evvra bohda waaaayyyyooooo

Such an underrated game. RIP Alec.
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!
Arcanum of Steamworks and Magick Obscura.
SimCity 4 โค๏ธ
mantis Lords from hollow knight
Hyper Light Drifter and Return of the Obra Dinn for different reasons.
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.
I've been listening to alot of Amateur composers like Boris Harazanov, Baltic House Orchestra, Mathias Fritsch and Filip Lakovic.
Mechanicus and
Ixion
Both games came out fairly recent and have OSTs by Guillaume David. They are both good games on their own, but get great due to the OST.
