Since no-one else is gonna mention it- Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams.
And for some more popular(?) stuff:
Serious Sam Series.
Painkiller.
Before The Echo (though it is a rhythm game so it's to be expected :D ).
Hotline Miami Series.
Super Meat Boy.
Devil May Cry Series. (<- A bit of a loudness warning on the 3-rd one... ^_^' )
And too many anime games to mention all of them... But I can immediately think of Rabi-Ribi and the Hyperdimension Neptunia Series off the top of my head.

Thank you!! Liked everything!!! Devil May Cry I already know, and it really is awesome <3 my favorite is from DMC 3

Before The Echo is kinda cheating, because Ronald Jenkees made those tracks before the game, and they got licensed for the game. Hey not that I'm knocking it in the slightest, it was great <3
Though if we're doing it like that, the whole Rocket League soundtrack should be on the list (all 10+ licensed soundtrack expansions you get for free for in-game usage, Monstercat covers/mixes).

The Cat Lady The creator's friend basically gave him an entire album of rock music to use with no copyright fees.
Hotline Miami Obviously. Also check out Lone Survivor, which shares a composer.
Anodyne If you like 16-bit.

Although some design choices are terrible, I believe Nier Automata has the best soundtrack when it comes to games, with the Witcher 3 coming in as a close second.

The Sexy Brutale has the best I've come across recently. It seems to be online here
Incidentally, there's a Twitch streamer who does a great job playing game music on request. I came across an interview with her; her improvisational skills are remarkable.

Child of Light has a pure and amazing soundtrack. The Hymn of Light for Chorus, Aurora's Theme, Bolmus Populi, awww <3
Ori and the blind forest also, of course. Especially this wonderful music. Everyone who has played the game knows this song, as it probably looped several times before finally succeeding this damn hard but incredible passage.

Grim Fandango
Brutal Legend ;)
Life is Strange - despite being horrible game in my opinion, has AMAZING soundtrack
Old Need for Speeds like Most Wanted and Underground 1&2 era. Also Crazy Taxi if you into driving games
And basically everything that Jesper Kyd laid his hands on. This man created some of the most iconic sounds for me, i would recommend Hitman 2 and Assassin's Creed 2 to hear some of his best stuff

Sorry, but I cannot choose just one!;)
(in no particular order)
- Life is Strange
- Submerged
- Bioshock (the 3 tracks you got on CD with the CE version was nice as well)
- Remember Me
- Layers of Fear
- Wasteland 2
- Titan Quest
- Alum
- Icewind Dale
- Doom and Doom 2
I could list more, but I don't want to go too overboard.;)

Basically the only game that ever made me care about its soundtrack and listen to the music outside of playing the game was Machinarium.

I love songs/soundtracks in general, my favorite composer is Hiroyuki Sawano who has composed some animes like Attack on titan and Re:Creators.
Epic soundtracks, beautiful or exciting are part of my routine, I always leave my home listening some soundtrack.
I'm currently looking for new experiences so any suggestions for games with great soundtracks will be appreciated <3
Here is one of my favorites soundtrack
