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.

The Sims 2
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
Bastion, Beyond Good & Evil, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, Mirror’s Edge.
and Hades, although I refuse to call it a “patient gamer” game

Why? It’s 6 years old at this point so I think it qualifies.
shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up
Minecraft
Nier Automata
Subnautica
secret tip: Fez
Came here to say this! Also Bastion, kind of the same generation of indie games, I feel.
Sly cooper 1, crash twinsanity, Witcher 3, Banjo-Kazooie, Hi-Fi Rush, Nier Automata
The Twinsanoty soundtrack is… insane ;)
That’s what makes it so great lol
To The Moon
I have played that game five times (so I could share the experience with other people) and have broken down into tears at the end every time.
Is 2016 old enough now?
The DOOM 2016 soundtrack fucking rips.And tears

Honestly nowadays so many games have great soundtracks, it is a joy to behold! Makes it harder to chose favorites though…
I’ll skip the obvious ones with multiple artists like Furi, Katana Zero, Hotline Miami, Crypt of the Necrodancer…
