Bonus points if it's an original score.
And here are my top two picks, because I couldn't only pick one: Hotline Miami and Rise of the Tomb Raider

Vampire The Masquerade songs are so good. Recently played the New York VN one, and it was so good.

One of my all-time favorites is:
Race Against Fate by Alexey Omelchuk from Metro Exodus. It has a slightly slow start but when it gets going it's awesome.

There's also:
Under No Flag by Johan Soderqvist from Battlefield 5

My favourite soundtrack always will be Alone in the Dark from the composer Olivier Deriviere, especially this theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZrekbgGYYI&ab_channel=OlivierDeriviere-Topic , but almost all the soundtrack uses that great voice chorus.
And I just remembered this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2cK8mOG4Q8&ab_channel=homicidalxcookie by Akira Yamaoka, another main theme that I love.

The Silent Hill one reminds me so much of a song from a crappy MMO from the 2000s. I can't find it however :(

Mirror's Edge has been really popular in this thread, they did quite a brilliant job.

Silent Hill 2 - Promise Reprise always gives me chills. I learned a bit of it on the piano, too!

I've also been playing a lot of Risk of Rain 2 with a couple of my friends and this song just hits right

Those are probably the top two on my mind. I could list many others like my favourite Elder Scrolls tunes (I use the Morrowind and Oblivion soundtracks to fall asleep at night), a couple from Black Mesa, someone else mentioned Still Alive below and I was addicted to that song for a long time when I first played Portal! So many good Nintendo tracks too.

I used to actually not care that much about video game music, but after a while I realized these pieces of music truly make the atmosphere and games themselves a lot more memorable.

I like your picks, I also use music to fall asleep easier and the first one, in particular, is a good one for it as well.

In terms of creepy ambiance, nothing can top Tristram's Town theme (by Matt Uelmen) from the original "Diablo". 😈
