What current game has a memorable soundtrack? (self.games)

Basically this. I have just realized that as a guy whos teens where in the 00's, my musical ear has been groomed by awesome videogames with great soundtracks, like Tony Hawk Pro Skater, Gran Turismo, later Need For Speed and some FIFA. But what's the equivalent in today's time?

I've bought a FIFA and a NFS recently, but the soundtracks are... OK-ish, I guess? I enjoyed the some Rocket League's season, though.

If you like more orchestral music checkout the soundtrack for Nier Automata. It came out a couple years ago and I find it great to listen to while working.

I was going to mention Nier Automata as well. I absolutely love music, but surprisingly don't really pay attention to it in the video game format but the soundtrack in Nier Automata is just so next level.

Hotline Miami and Midnight Fight Express also have very thumping soundtracks that both complement the gameplay.

You should check out the soundtrack for the original Nier as well, (Or Replicant I suppose). I fell in love with the OST back when Nier first released as Gestalt, and I still think it's better than Automata. Well except for the amusement park. That track slaps.

I'm playing it right now and I'm taken away by the soundtrack and how well it's merged within the gameplay. It's made in such a way that makes the game look like a movie you're directing. I'm marvelled.

I was going to ask for some recommendations on this vibe. I basically have this https://www.youtube.com/@Meisio channel's WOW OST playing on loop as I work. I like to mix it up a bit but often don't find the right vibe for music to work to as it's too distracting.

Another one I like for work that's not distracting is Zelda and chill on YouTube. Its a couple hours and usually auto plays more similar stuff.
