DOOM has some good music.
Homeworld is always a good time, and the music suits it so so so well. Will never, ever, ever, EVER forget coming back to my planet after that initial scouting message, my planet burning, my people slaughtered...to the sound of Barber's Adagio for Strings. One of my all-time favorite, most impactful gaming memories.
Elder Scrolls, across the board, tends to have really great soundtracks. Oblivion, Skyrim, Online...take your pick.
Brutal Legend, a sadly overlooked game, has one of the most star-studded soundtracks to a game. Some serious metal bands on there as well.
And more recently, Warhammer Darktide seems to hit really hard. Gothic choir and organ, heavy synth, thunky boomy drums...just really great. Really increases the tension. By the great Jesper Kyd of Hitman, Darksiders, and AC fame!
