1 Game, 1 Song

I pick 1 song per game to showcase. Sometimes it might be what I think is the best song in the game, other times it's just my favorite song. Includes DLCs if they're separate campaigns. I might also cheat a little bit with remakes/ remasters.

The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning
Main Theme. The TLoS games aren't amazing and the OST isn't anything too special, but something about the beautiful choir in this one really gets to me.

In terms of original pieces, Eve's Asylum.
LittleBigPlanet 3
LittleBigPlanet 3
Did you guys know Smooth McGroove was in this game?
LittleBigPlanet Karting
LittleBigPlanet Karting
This one is difficult because most of the OST is either licensed music or imported directly from LBP 1 and 2. If we're going for 100% original, then I pick Knighted and United.
ModNation Racers
ModNation Racers
Creation Station 2
Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time
Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time
Don't know if this one counts because it's licensed, but Vela Pirate Radio 3, or apparently Ambling, as it's called. Cannot remember any original tracks for the life of me.
Crash Bandicoot
Crash Bandicoot
Main Theme. Just plain, simple, silliness.
Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back

The Biggest Dreamer
Hot Wheels Turbo Racing
Hot Wheels Turbo Racing
Hard to say with this one because most if not all of it is licensed rock/metal music (including Metallica™©®), so I guess I'll go with what is apparently(???) Carpe Diem Baby.

Anchordeep
A Hat in Time
A Hat in Time
Nyakuza Metro - Rush Hour. Perfectly captures the vibe of the chase sequence at the end of the chapter.
Hollow Knight
Hollow Knight
This is by far the hardest game for me on this whole list. Nearly every single song in this game is amazing in its own right. In the end, I pick Sealed Vessel because of how bombastic and emotional it is.

Factory Inspection
Kirby Star Allies

Jambastion - Eastern Wall

Many good songs in this one, but Jump Up, Superstar still makes me hype.

A very safe answer I know, but Pizza Time.
Hypnospace Outlaw
Hypnospace Outlaw
Hypnospace is Cool. Chowder Man is one of the silliest and most memorable parts of the game so I have to go with one of his catchiest songs.
