Distant Worlds albums are great orchestral versions of Final Fantasy themes. I use them at work when I need to concentrate and block out my peers.

FTL? Into the Breach? Diablo II, Cities Skylines, SimCity 3000, The Sims.
60 minutes of N64 chill tracks on yt
Honorable mention: Soma.fm
soma.fm not game music but the amount of vibes they offer means that one of those vibes will likely fit your study music needs :) and commercial free.
I was playing the Stardew Valley OST at work this week. That's music to get shit done at a relaxing pace.
Zelda botw. Lots of piano mixes on youtube
It's relaxing until the Guardian music kicks in!
Doom or doom eternal.
How do you study when your entire body is urging you to bang your head to the tune?
Stronghold
Hey! Just wanted to come back and thank you for mentioning RPGamer Radio!
I've been playing it at work, and I'm really enjoying it. Thanks!
You're welcome :)
Tunic has an excellent soundtrack that's one of my favorites for work music. https://invidious.reallyaweso.me/watch?v=nnvjKf_mRYM
Paradox games are pretty good (Stellaris particularly)
Portal/Portal 2 aswell
Solar 2 is also a personal fav but hard to find OST other than on YT
Stellaris is quite good for that
Hogwarts Legacy (Study Themes from the Original Video Game Soundtrack)
A lot of the Final Fantasy games have Piano Collections albums. I particularly like FF XV.
Anything from Supergiant Games
I just make a point to remove the songs with lyrics because lyrics distract me.
FEZ has a great soundtrack. Also Sword & Sworcery.
The Cyberpunk OST goes crazy, and the Risk Of Rain franchise has some killer stuff.
Stray has a great soundtrack
Crono Cross, anything from monster hunter Tri and up.
Something I've been using during work these days is Maplestory bgm playlists. Reminds me of my youth, and have a very calming effect on me :)
I use Wh40k: Mechanicus & Ixion
Depends on a lot of things but for deep focus I like the X3:TC soundtrack
I listen to the Diablo 2 & 3 or Skyrim OST when reading.
I wrote both my bachelor's and master's thesis to Watch The Skies from Skyrim on loop. Yes, the same track all day for weeks.
My brain autofills in dragon roars when listening
Uplink is a game about hacking that's got fantastic tracker music for it's soundtrack. Blue Valley is just great background music, no strong melodies, just chords and vibes.
