Really depends… Lots of indie games have incredible music.
Off the top of my head, Expedition 33 has amazing music as well.

Recent game music almost sounds too cookie cutter. It’s like movie music. It’s just… there. It used to be you could remember not just main themes but ancillary ones too and you can thank John Williams and Nobou Uematsu for that, but seriously how many recent games or movies have iconic standout soundtracks?

Not a lot of recent movies come to mind, but Sinners sure is a standout, and I’m going to shill on it any day.

Pacific Drive has amazing music. So good that I started following some of the bands behind it. The Smoky Brights are a new favorite of mine.

I agree. Modern developers use technology to cover up for creative bankruptcy.

Depends what you mean by recent. I’m not even someone that plays with music, unless it’s an rpg or some other genre with a lot of talking, I just turn it off because I prefer listening to my own music.
But to answer your question, world of warcraft, Baldur’s gate3, clair obscur, Stardew valley, tropico 6, doom, hotline Miami, pretty much all the supergiant games, outer wilds, Cuphead, celeste, witcher 3, ac black flag + odyssey (fucking love those shanties).
And that’s just off the top of my head and from games I’ve played. I’m sure there’s tons more.
