Okami has a truly beautiful soundtrack, my favourites are the 'The Sun Rises' and The Eight Dog Warriors Theme'. Also Calamari Inkantation from Splatoon is fantastic.

SNES Wild Guns final theme Song
That's a tough one. And I don't think it's fair. From one generation to the next, music in video games has evolved quite a bit.
And each console had its own quirks for the music chip. Some later consoles played directly from CDs.
On the NES, I think Megaman 2 and Journey to Silius had kick-ass chip tune soundtracks.
On the SNES, I'd say Uniracer had a great rock soundtrack. Star Fox also had an epic soundtrack. Oh and Killer Instinct was fantastic. It even came with a music CD with the soundtrack. But my all time fave has to be the TMNT IV game soundtrack. And I'll give a special shoutout to Chrono Trigger.
On the Sega Genesis, I think the Sonic series had an amazing newjack and fusion jazz style soundtrack.
On N64, and PlayStation I particularly LOVED the Wipeout racing game soundtracks with music from my all time favorite electronica bands of the time. Goldeneye 007 holds a special place in my heart as well.
After that it gets really hard because so many games have incredible music. It's hard to choose.
Ahhh but which Still Alive?
You probably meant the one from Portal, but I much prefer the one from Mirror's Edge! Beautiful song!
Sonic Mania - Hydrocity Zone Act 2
Mortal kombaaaaaaat

Celeste and Pokemon mystery dungeon explorers of sky
half life franchise (seriously every game has perfect and fitting soundtrack) super meat boy (both the original 2010 soundtrack composed by danny b and the 2015 soundtrack made by various artists rock. but the 2010 soundtrack is one of the most iconic soundtracks ever made in my opinion.)
Risk of Rain 2
Teenage mutant Ninja turtles iv: turtles in time
Definitely the best video game music is from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Stains of Time is my favorite.
I love listening to Rimworlds OST and Hotline Miamis soundtrack.
Jet Set Radio Future and Jet Grind Radio. No question. Hideki Nakanuma is a genius.
Oh and Dance Dance Revolution 3rd, 4th, and 5th miss.
The theme song of Locoroco. Though the lyrics are in a made-up language, I can feel the desire for world peace in this song.
I'm a big fan of the Offworld Trading Company OST.

Just one track? The Requiem of Shield Knight from Shovel Knight.
I played a beautiful game last year called Omno, and the soundtrack to that was just breathtaking. I listen to it all the time

It’s not better than Tetris I’ll admit. But I’ve always had a soft spot for the Mass Effect soundtrack.
Tony Hawk was a big one. The EA sports games always have some bangers that get stuck in your head. One of my favorite video game moments, though, was bombing the tobacco fields to Bomba Estereo's "Fuego", in Far Cry 6. They employed music well, throughout, but that moment was really enveloping.
