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.

either Sonic Adventure 2 or Doom Eternal.
Sonic Adventure 2 is just silly, it's like a 10 to 15second loop of a slightly different version of the main theme but it's got this like added guitar (I'm not a musician AT ALL) that just really kicks it up a notch. hell I even have the mp3 of it that i'll listen on loop for a few minutes.
Also the original Apex Legends menu music and character selection music was VERY good.
Final Fantasy XII, not just for the amazing menu music but also due to how the opening cinematic blends seamlessly with the menu UI in the PS2 version. It all comes together perfectly.
Xenoblade Chronicles X character creation music.
ARD1FT menu music got me a bit into classical music
Sierra's "Red Baron II" (1998) might not be my favorite but it had some of the most memorable music for me. Repetitive military marches with the main theme being rather jaunty. It didn't hurt that it was my first flight sim and the first PC game I'd ever played online. I was around twelve at the time so it's hard not to remember how cool it all was to me.
Sanabi.
The main theme opener is a striking arrangement of synth notes, which admittedly end up being a bit skippable after hearing them quite a few times. However, there is a reveal moment in the story that makes it hit way harder. It stuck with me after that 😁
Some of my favs were already listed, I’d add Cyberpunk 2077, Max Payne 2, and Dark Souls 2 (that portamento).
