Admittedly the story is a bit thin… the game play is purposefully enraging… but it gets a big ol’double check mark on the OST requirement thanks to the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra.
On a totally different note and tone, Last of Us. I dig anything Gustavo Santaolalla.
Actually the story seems pretty charming tho. The graphics feels a bit too dated to me, but atleast the OST is up on YT, and damn the main menu OST is already a banger.
I don’t see this mentioned enough, but persona 5 (specifically recommend persona 5 Royal) has a really great OST. As you play the game you unlock better versions of the same tracks, including vocals. It’s actually really jazzy, and quite catchy! The wife and i will jam to the vocal tracks on road trips.
The game is also very good, with an interesting story! It’s kinda weird in a fun way! It’s like… a pokemon-esque turn based jrpg with some like real world maintenance aspects (relationships, work a job, go to school), with great music
Lineage 2, I especially like the Dion theme. It’s an old MMORPG though so when it comes to the question of a great story and/or gameplay… well I wouldn’t recommend it lol. Even though I’ve spent a lot of hours in that game

A gaming sub 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.

Hotline Miami’s soundtrack
The Ys soundtrack
All the games / series listed here are pretty good
How did you feel about Celeste? It felt pretty hard for me on the first level already. Might pick back up then!
Tough game, but the learning curve isn’t too bad. Keep trying and you’ll do it 💪
Celeste is hard, but so rewarding! And the OST is stunning
As a 196 regular, it would be a sin not to finish it.
I really enjoy the OST for the Hotline Miami games. If it’s your thing it goes pretty hard.
Oh thank you for the reminder! I had put that game down somewhere in the start, because it was a bit harsh to beat the levels with an ergonomic mouse.
Ruiner
Yes.
I am looking forward to Final Form, Reikon clearly knows what they are doing.
I just looked it up, and even the trailer has good music. It reminds me of Ghost in the Shell.
Incredibile Crisis, on PS1.

Yeah I really loved Persona 5. It really stands out as an unique an catchy game.
Risk of Rain 2
For those who are already LoZ fans, Cadence of Hyrule will get your toes tapping for sure.
Hopefully not too many repeats from what others said.

Kingdom Hearts soundtracks always slap
Can KH3 be played without any knowledge of the prior stories? Apparently, this series consists of a bunch of titles.
I would not recommend it. KH1 and 2 are absolute classics and are a pretty self-contained story if you don’t feel like committing to the whole series.

Oh hm its definitely tough by design. Don’t feel bad about reloading a lot.
Also i think controller support is good.
My choices are the following:
