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.

Feeling nostalgic and I was just listening to the Pokemon gen2 soundtrack
Outer Wilds (and Echoes of the Eye) technically qualifies with the community's rules, but I think the answer more in keeping with the spirit of things is Shadow of the Colossus. The Opened Way is the most "fighting a building-sized monster as a normal guy but still winning" piece of music I have heard
Bloodborne OST is the first that comes to mind for me.
Hard pick because I listen to a game or series for a while, then another. Just today I went and listened to a lot of Sonic tracks, which I do once every few months. I guess Atlus games (SMT, Persona, EO), Metal Gear Rising, Ace Attorney, TWEWY are in the lead off the top of my head, but after a month I might give a different answer. My relaxing music playlist is mostly the official classical arrangements of Etrian Odyssey 1+2, so let's go with that.
All you young'uns and your fancy moderns music.
Nothing beats Gone Jackals songs in Full Throttle.
- Shovel Knight
- Chrono Trigger
- Unreal Tournament 99
- Quake II
The Sims 2
Aquaria: Original Soundtrack
by Alec Holowka
Such an underrated game. RIP Alec.
Morrowind and project wingman are peak. FFXIV is fantastic with a persistent leitmotif across each entire expansion. The final endwalker boss basically wrapped up YEARS worth of story and that fight music was a medly featuring every expansion's leitmotif and holy shit I can't get over how incredible it was. Also the pandaemonium raid music. And Alexander. Seriously you can rabbit hole for HOURS on FFXIV music.

No game will ever have a better soundtrack than Halo 3
Ash of the Gods and Pilgrims

I suspect I'm driven by nostalgia and by literally hundreds of hours of repeat exposure.
