  • The Outer Wilds soundtrack is one that I think of often.
  • Doom 2016 has been named plenty of times. Doom Eternal as well, both the main game and the DLCs, shame that they will never be properly released and that everything that happened around this soundtrack happened in the first place.
  • Mass Effect 3 really stand out in my head. It really manages to capture that end of the world feeling. Leaving Earth is an amazing song, or also The End Once And For All.
  • Ori and the Blind Forest is incredible. I've never beat that game, and I still need to get back around to it, but the music I've heard of from it is wonderful and never fails to just take me away in a place that is very far away in my head, it's beautiful, it's angelic and it's really special.
  • Mario 64 has one of the most iconic soundtrack of all time and for good reason. It's so good and so memorable.
  • Perhaps not equally appreciated but just as amazing to me, Mario Galaxy. This soundtrack is really something special. It just takes you away to the world that the game is showing to you and yeah, it's that Nintendo magic.
  • No Man's Sky has a great soundtrack by 65daysofstatic, which helped me fall in love with what I would consider to be among my favorite genre of music, which is post-rock, so it's very special to me.
  • Minecraft, both of the old and the new music, are amazing.
  • I would also like to give a very special shout out to Far Cry 5 of all games. Tons of original music and very memorable things and some of the songs written for that game are so captivating. Strangely underrated game Far Cry 5. I really love it.

But if I had to pick just one, I would say that, just like the game itself, Red Dead Redemption 2's soundtrack is absolutely astounding. The soundtrack is beautiful, memorable, and powerful, and everything it needs to be. The prologue ended, the guitar started and I knew right away that I wasn't for something special that I will never forget.
