Patient Gamers
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.

Super Monkey Ball 2 - not in the sense that I'd want to sit and listen to them, but they really fit the game super well. And I've heard them sampled in actual songs before... Also as YouTube video background music many times.
Destiny 2 has some fantastic pieces. Deep Stone Lullaby, Journey, Aethenasia (sp?) to name a few.
Xenoblade Chronicles, especially 2 and 3 in my view.
And Halo, obviously.
Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps.
God of War (2018) and Ragnarok.

Nobody's mentioned this one yet, perhaps because it's a bit obscure, but Vib-Ribbon (PS1) has such a unique and endearing OST. I never played the game, but I heard one of the songs and got totally hooked.
I don't think I've seen any shmup OST mentioned, but there's so many that I think are bangers.
A favourite of mine would be DoDonPachi DaiFukkatsu / Resurrection, specifically Black Label Stage 2.
Planescape Torment and Icewind Dale. Not all the tracks but many of their tracks are great. I play them on the loop.
Also The Witcher has great soundtracks, I often play them on the loop while I was working.
None mentioned (all links are yt) Axiom Verge (s), Defcon, Element4l, Furi, Giants Citizen Kabuto, Painkiller, Risk of Rain (s), Speed Runners, They Bleed Pixels, Wildstar or any Zachtronics so far.
