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've been listening to alot of Amateur composers like Boris Harazanov, Baltic House Orchestra, Mathias Fritsch and Filip Lakovic.
I listen to Stellaris OST a lot these days. Turns out that good music to plan galactic domination is also good music to design and build software.
Don’t really play the game much anymore though. That was one of my main pandemic games.
The old Deus Ex and Endless Space are the ones I listen to the most.
Metal Gear Rising Revengence Need for Speed Most Wanted Hi-Fi Rush
No game will ever have a better soundtrack than Halo 3
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.

Hyper Light Drifter and Return of the Obra Dinn for different reasons.

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.

right now i'll have to go with "The Neverhood Chronicles", it's stuck in my head since i started playing it again last week on a PS1 Emu.
