A collection of some of my favorite games with soundtracks so good, you should play them just to experience the music.

Note that this is different from simply having a stellar score; generally, the inclusion criteria is such that, any song or track taken in isolation and removed from context would still be a banger, but the game itself just wouldn't be the same with different music. Or, in other words: the game's identity has to be elevated by just how damn good the music is. I specifically want to spotlight "nontraditional" or licensed soundtracks as well.
