Nier automata and god of war (2016)

I wanted to say Witcher 3, but that was 6 years ago. Damn, time flies.

Deltarune Chapter 2 just released, and the soundtrack is still amazing.

Two types of game series has the best music. The first is the halo series and then the elder scrolls series.

Halo, TES or any other game series, doesn't matter, all will fall short compared to "Soulsborne" + Elden Ring.

In recent years, the games that had the music that I liked the most were from software , nier ,persona but none are better than my favorite,Chrono Cross still seems to have an unbeatable soundtrack even after 20 years ,Maybe it's nostalgia

Ace Combat 7's soundtrack is f-cking amazing

Death Stranding hands down. Still fits in the five year gap.

Depends what mood I am in. I saw already some really good choices. Let me add one not mentioned yet

Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity.
It's essentially Breath of the Wild themes on steroids to reflect the more action based gameplay of this title. Fully orchestrated, more bombastic with new motives trown in.
