I’ve started recognizing when a section of a game feels baller, but it’s 99% because of the soundtrack. They can have the most generic basis for an emotional scene, and then as long as the music nails the mood it could be just blocks on a screen.
Final Fantasy XIV has had awe-inspiring tracks for the finales of each expansion since Shadowbringers; pretty much starting at the final zone through the final dungeon and trial.
Ace Attorney always gets it with its confrontation tracks; it could just be two people arguing in a hallway and it turns the battle of words into the most epic thing.
I’ll also give a shout out to Ori and the Blind Forest / Will of the Wisps. For both of those, it’s not just a few banger tracks for the exciting moments; even the downtime tracks are so memorable.
No game will ever have a better soundtrack than Halo 3
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.

I’ve been listening to alot of Amateur composers like Boris Harazanov, Baltic House Orchestra, Mathias Fritsch and Filip Lakovic.
The old Deus Ex and Endless Space are the ones I listen to the most.
Nier Automata, Cyberpunk, System Shock 2, GTA Vice City, Doom 2016 (I cannot listen to Eternals soundtrack knowing how Mick Gordon got ripped off there)
I listen to Stellaris OST a lot these days. Turns out that good music to plan galactic domination is also good music to design and build software.
Don’t really play the game much anymore though. That was one of my main pandemic games.
Is 2016 old enough now?
The DOOM 2016 soundtrack fucking rips.And tears
Until it is done
it’s been almost a decade. def old enough imo.
Idk, the jury is still out on that one… :)
Original DOOM!
