Not sure about best but the music the black mesa game did for the half life remaster was amazing.
I love soundtracks from Splatoon, all series. Especially Chip Damage/Blitz it! is my favourite.
MW2: Mercenaries was pretty awesome.
Other ones that come to mind are Crazy Taxi and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.
It's nice to see so many different awnsers, gaming has just so many good soundtracks.
Personally, I love the soundtrack of the original Xenoblade Chronicles. "Engage the Enemy" really hits during the cutscene it plays.
Another recomendation is Xenoblade Chronicles 3's "Words that never reached you"
Final fantasy 6 Chrono trigger Street fighter 2 Street fighter v Super Mario Bros 3 Mega Man 2 Undertale And this is really unfair but Def Jam fight for New York
SNES Wild Guns final theme Song
Jet Set Radio Future and Jet Grind Radio. No question. Hideki Nakanuma is a genius.
Oh and Dance Dance Revolution 3rd, 4th, and 5th miss.
That's a tough one. And I don't think it's fair. From one generation to the next, music in video games has evolved quite a bit.
And each console had its own quirks for the music chip. Some later consoles played directly from CDs.
On the NES, I think Megaman 2 and Journey to Silius had kick-ass chip tune soundtracks.
On the SNES, I'd say Uniracer had a great rock soundtrack. Star Fox also had an epic soundtrack. Oh and Killer Instinct was fantastic. It even came with a music CD with the soundtrack. But my all time fave has to be the TMNT IV game soundtrack. And I'll give a special shoutout to Chrono Trigger.
On the Sega Genesis, I think the Sonic series had an amazing newjack and fusion jazz style soundtrack.
On N64, and PlayStation I particularly LOVED the Wipeout racing game soundtracks with music from my all time favorite electronica bands of the time. Goldeneye 007 holds a special place in my heart as well.
After that it gets really hard because so many games have incredible music. It's hard to choose.
Ahhh but which Still Alive?
You probably meant the one from Portal, but I much prefer the one from Mirror's Edge! Beautiful song!
IDK if it's best of all time but the soundtrack to Guardians Crusade, a jrpg for kids on the PS1, is pretty up there and waaaaaaayyyyyy better than it has any right to be.
For me personally some of my favorites (most memorable) are:
Hitman 2: Silent Assassin main title (and first half of the OST)
Divinity Original Sin 2 main title
Original vanilla WoW main title music
Sanctuary from Borderland 3’s OST
BFG Division from DOOM
Pretty much the entire Skyrim soundtrack
Most of the Witcher 3 soundtrack. My favorite is probably On the Champs-Désolés, which is from the Blood and Wine expansion.
Sonic Mania - Hydrocity Zone Act 2
There is a reason Touhou has two fandoms, one for its games and the other for its music. The music alone saved it from being another Oregon Trail and eventually got it its own anime.
90% of the Sonic Frontiers "Cyberspace" tracks are S tier. The best soundtrack in recent memory.
Celeste and Pokemon mystery dungeon explorers of sky
TF2
half life franchise (seriously every game has perfect and fitting soundtrack) super meat boy (both the original 2010 soundtrack composed by danny b and the 2015 soundtrack made by various artists rock. but the 2010 soundtrack is one of the most iconic soundtracks ever made in my opinion.)
Teenage mutant Ninja turtles iv: turtles in time
Definitely the best video game music is from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Stains of Time is my favorite.
