I don't see this mentioned enough, but persona 5 (specifically recommend persona 5 Royal) has a really great OST. As you play the game you unlock better versions of the same tracks, including vocals. It's actually really jazzy, and quite catchy! The wife and i will jam to the vocal tracks on road trips.

The game is also very good, with an interesting story! It's kinda weird in a fun way! It's like.. a pokemon-esque turn based jrpg with some like real world maintenance aspects (relationships, work a job, go to school), with great music

Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers has an absolutely banger of a soundtrack.

The Elder Scrolls series if you haven't played already, battlefield 1, Terraria, Cave Story, The Ori series

FTL: Faster Than Light

Cult of the lamb

This is all going to be "great gameplay" rather than "great story".

If you have a way to play 3DS games and a tolerance for punishment in your JRPG dungeon crawlers, the Etrian Odyssey series has some of Yuzo Koshiro's best work.

• This is the first random battle theme in Etrian Odyssey IV. Your first battle of the game, against a couple of grasshoppers, to this.

• When you hit something more serious for the first time, you get this instead.

• Now you're in trouble.

• And, uh, there's this memorable remix of the wandering-boss theme from the first game.

You already have Persona games in your list, but let's add some more Shin Megami Tensei:

• Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne random battle theme

• Shin Megami Tensei V random battle theme

• Digital Devil Saga I last boss, first phase (the second phase is sadly less original)

Finally ... Monster Hunter is an incredibly fun and addictive game series, and though it doesn't center the music quite as much as a typical JRPG does, it's got some great stuff. I particularly like the soundtrack of MH: World -- although the newer game MH: Rise tried something new with its mostly choral arrangements, I think they are not quite as memorable overall.

• Desert zone battle from Monster Hunter: World

• Arena battle from Monster Hunter: World (it's particularly impressive the way this theme, the small-monsters arena battle theme, and several of the town themes reuse the same melodies in different arrangements)

• Ice zone battle from Iceborne expansion

• Zinogre, everybody's favorite thunder puppy, World version

DUSK

Interesting that no one mentioned Rebel Galaxy. Granted that the songs are probably not to everyone's liking. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRMcXkadosW43B18ZSbYFqBnFn2myQwRw

Caves of Qud doesn't have a very big OST but I happened to absolutely love it. The game is similar to Rogue (or more directly Dwarf Fortress adventure mode), as in time only passes when you move and everything is represented by a tile, but it has pretty good controller support as of a recent update.

Some games with soundtracks I particularly enjoyed over the last couple years:

• A Hat in Time - a cute, fun collect-a-thon platformer with a kickass soundtrack. This one is particularly fun to play and hits nostalgia vibes for the early 3D Mario games.
• Shantae and the Seven Sirens - 2D platformer with an energetic chiptune-y soundtrack. The game itself is OK, but the soundtrack is what really made this one for me.
• Paradise Killer - vaporwave inspired surreal murder mystery
• Subnautica - underwater survival and crafting game with a soundtrack that set the mood very well
• Demons Roots - 18+ RPGMaker game where you lead a demon uprising to reclaim the surface world, invading country after country freeing slaves as you go. Very dark game that is unusually good for the type of game it is. If you're not put off by the RPGMaker doujin wabi-sabi and are tolerant of adult content in games this one is worth a look. There are some absolute bangers in the soundtrack.
• Pyre - Lord of the Rings meets 3v3 basketball with a very enjoyable soundtrack by Darren Korb (Bastion).

My choices are the following:

• Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor - Good guitar riffs and it fits the mood of the game
• Brutal Legend - Lots of music, lots. Ozzy Osbourne is in the game
• Final Fantasy 8 - I think it had a memorable soundtrack
• Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - The original radio stations were great in this game.

• Hotline Miami (obviously)
• Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven - a serious one but still slaps
• Subnautica - when you sub is on fire
• TES: Oblivion
• Lineage 2, I especially like the Dion theme. It's an old MMORPG though so when it comes to the question of a great story and/or gameplay... well I wouldn't recommend it lol. Even though I've spent a lot of hours in that game

Halo 1-3, GTA 3, VC & san Andreas. Tony hawks early games. Final fantasy 7,8 & 9. Tekken 2
