Here are some pieces which I've always liked, some of which have probably been mentioned already.

Lord of the Rings on the SNES. Awful gameplay but excellent music. Based on the old cartoon movie.





The Commandos games are known for their mint soundtracks and this is one of my favourites - the theme to Beyond the Call of Duty:

Great way to say goodbye to The Witcher series by including the motif in such a quiet, reflective track.

Probably influenced by the Pacific Rim soundtrack a bit there. Unfortunately the rest of the music in the game is some weird ass electro trip pop denpa junk which I don't understand.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
I've been digging through old archives and reminded myself about In Pursuit of Greed, a long forgotten FPS made on early alpha Doom engine. As I've started listening to the intro music which was so awesome I was disappointed with the core game. Later on the strong feeling of deja vu started occuring. Holy shit, it's the Crusader track ! Andrew Sega made the whole soundtrack, and some of the songs were reused/remade into Origin duology - for example - Dimension 2012 - 59:26 . Luckily there are nice people who ripped the whole thing and uploaded it on yt. Almost 90 minutes of great modtracks. Just try Song 2, as it's a new track. Now imagine listening while blasting in Crusader. Song 4 sounds like a lost track from first Unreal.

Some stuff from In Pursuit of Greed was also used in Iron Seed (or maybe it was the other way around). Andrew Sega made some really cool music.
