I recently played Hi Fi Rush, and walking into the first boss and hearing the song choice got me so hyped. I was chasing that high for the rest of the game. The whole soundtrack really felt catered for me, specifically, but that one NIN track in that moment got me more pumped than anything else.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I really like the soundtrack to Suikoden. Maybe it's nostalgia, but it's one of the better ones for me.
And lunar silver star story is pretty good too.

Not sure if mentioned yet, but EVE Online has an amazing soundtrack. Their 10 Year Anniversary Symphony is just the cream on top.

Cyberpunk has ton of awesome tracks
Pon Pon Shit
final fantasy, anything thats NOT 7 simply because its played to death.
I think nothing top the JRPGs. My current favs would be Nier: Replicant & Nier: Automata. There's also this rather obscure game I love called Ar Tonelico in which the music is part of the story; of course that wouldn't do if the music suck.
Other than that, I love the entire soundtracks for both Cult of the Lamb as well as Stray.
