Best video game soundtracks, I feel: Persona 3/4/5, Nier Automata, Jet Set Radio Future, Katamari Damacy, Final Fantasy Tactics / Radiant Silvergun (same composer, very similar). I listen to several others but I keep coming back to these.

Really surprised Nier didn't get a mention, as they do some cool experimental stuff with it.

To pile on: LA Noire, Deus Ex (whole series), Red Strings Club, Minecraft's full release album by C148, Myst/Obduction (thanks Robyn Miller), pre-emptively Star Citizen (what has been released already is excellent)

But also, so many indie games. We are in a golden age for game soundtracks.

+1 for deus ex, also a shoutout to System Shock soundtrack. And let's not forget the godlike Morrowind theme, Halo 1 intro and so many others i cant remember right now.

And Robyn Miller also scored the beautifully atmospheric music for Riven. Austin Wintory's work on the three parts of the Banner Saga is quite an achievement.
