Same as last time, buuuut since you're giving me a second comment's worth of space to work with, I guess I could list all the soundtracks I skipped over last time to keep my comment from completely bloating up. :D
Before The Echo (formerly called Sequence) has a really nice soundtrack.
This theme from QP Shooting Dangerous! (And also this theme from its sort-of-spinoff Xmas Shooting - Scramble!!. This one kinda gets my Most-Jarring-Dissonance-Between-Theme-Style-And-What-Is-Actually-Happening-In-Game Award. Still really good though.)
Castle Crashers' Soundtrack has some really good themes.
Borderlands 2 is a pretty big game with an appropriately big soundtrack featuring lots of differently styled themes so, yeah, it has a lot of really good combat themes.
This from Shantae and the Pirate's Curse.
This from Hell Yeah!. (Yes, really, that's the name of the game.)
This is Shadow Warrior 2's Main Menu Theme. Definitely the best Main Menu theme. XD
Pretty much all the action themes from Necromunda: Hired Gun kick arse. :D (Only reason it didn't make the cut last year is because it's a new addition for me since then. ^_^' )
Well, you've definitely heard this one already, but nonetheless- DOOM (2016).
This theme from Space Run Galaxy. (The video even comes with bonus gameplay footage... yeah, I couldn't find a "pure" soundtrack video for a game that obscure. ^_^' )
This theme from Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force.
This theme from Resident Evil 5.
Most themes from Alien Shooter.
This theme from Maiden & Spell. (Another new addition since last year. ^_^ )
Basically Intrusion 2's whole soundtrack. (To be fair, it is pretty small. ^_^' )
This theme from Creeper World 3.
This theme from Zombie Night Terror. (If we could remove all the zombie or horror nodes from that game's themes they wouldn't sound out of place in Hotline Miami. :D )
I should probably stop there because this got ridiculously long again... ^_^'

You really love game music, don't you? :D
I keep saying that I will try Borderlands 2 again, and I keep putting it off. Maybe next year I'll finally have played it again.
Meat Boy music still haunts me after how many failed attempts I had at it. Not that specific one tho, cause I never got that far.
Ohhh Hunter v Hunter is great!! I think I'll check out some others from that game.
The Skullgirls song has everything I love, jazzy, noir film feel, and plenty of sax.
Thanks for stopping by this time as well ^_^

It's pretty much the only kind of "music" I listen to. :D
I probably shouldn't commit to too many things at once, but if you need help with Borderlands 2 Achievement Hunting I'm generally up for helping out in it in co-op and stuff... ^_^'
Yeeeah... For me Cotton Valley was the point in Super Meat Boy where I just kinda decided that I had better things to do... I wasn't gonna 100% it anyway...
Here are some more really good themes from Necromunda: Hired Gun. It's a pretty cool game. ;)
I'm glad some of the stuff I linked are to you liking! ^_^

If you're looking for video game music, or more internet radio, check out http://rainwave.cc and select a station. Especially of interest if you like chiptunes.
Anyway, here's a sampling of my picks, all original scores for their associated games. Can't say they're my favorites or tops, because that list is longer than War and Peace:

I appreciate the cinematic for We all Lift Together, made to fit so perfectly.
I love the Endless Legend song!
Ok, having both the 32 bit and the 8 bit versions of the same song is so cool. Now I want to hear more songs side by side.

Here's a full 24 bit playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLW9O9mntH1RG7jozF42oGH4ZDCeCbd3_j
You can use that to compare to the 8 bit list video. However, I would be remiss of me not to point out that the game is $10 for "Legend of Zelda Randomizer Without Legend of Zelda" and that the in-game soundtrack adapts to your selection of art style: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1114870/Lennas_Inception/
As to the We All Lift Together video, yeah... that's in-engine, not cinematic per se. Happens the first time you enter Fortuna and can be replayed on demand. As to the music itself, Keith Power regularly smashes it out of the park. It's one of the main reasons I can't wait for the Duviri update this month: the gameplay will be good and all, but I want the music.

There are very beautiful soundtracks in Transistor.
We All Become
In Circles
The Spine
Paper Boats
In general,
Supergiant Games in all games has good music, but Transistor captured my heart.
Of the games with beautiful OST, I can also mention the following projects:
1) Disciples 1-3
2) Space Rangers
3) Pyre
2
4) Stronghold HD
5) King's Bounty (from Armored Princess to Dark Side)
6) Red Ronin.
7) Red Alert 2
2
As a rule, most of the tracks in these games are very good.

Exactly a year ago I asked this same question and discovered and listened to a lot of people's picks and really enjoyed it.
Now I want to ask the same question again, for the people that have joined SG this last year, or just for anyone who discovered a new game soundtrack that they really enjoyed.
And even if you have answered a year ago, and you don't have a new favorite, you are welcome to put the same song again, consistency is great :D
If you can't pick just one, feel free to pick more!
Last time my picks were Hydrogen from Hotline Miami and I Shall Rise from Rise of the Tomb Raider. And while these two are still my favorite, this year I played the remake of the first Mafia, and absolutely fell in love with the 1920s-1940s Jazz music from the in-game radio. I've been using them to go to sleep, or just to chill a lot these past few months. Lost Heaven Radio and WBDS Radio.
And once again, bonus points if it's an original score!
