Outer Wilds - The way this game uses music and ambient sound to foster a sense of wonder, dread, excitement, sorrow, and much more is nothing short of incredible. Probably the best game I have ever played.
Subnautica - Equally impressive use of music as Outer Wilds, many of the same feelings, but a much much different vibe and genre.
Return of the Obra Dinn - A grim game where the soundtrack with church bells and heavy string instruments really underscore the mood.
Lucas Pope is so fucking talented it makes me mad. Not only has he designed genius level compelling gameplay out of ostensibly boring professions (border guard and insurance inspector?!), but he also composes absolute bangers for the soundtracks.

There’s a dude who plays the Obra Dinn main theme on a carillon I saw at my local renn fest.
