I've listened to plenty of video game music. Some great, some not so great.
You can have a great game with great music, and that's fantastic.
You can have a not great game, but with great music.
You can have a great game, but a mediocre soundtrack.
And you can have a bad game with a bad soundtrack
(best to stay away from those)
I think Chrono Trigger is a solid game with a great soundtrack.
The Mario & Luigi RPG series are games I enjoyed, all having music I liked too.
Phoenix Wright, fun games, solid tunes.
Undertale was a great game with a great soundtrack.
Those are just a couple.
When a game is good and also has good music, that really enhances the gameplay experience.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has an incredible soundtrack. Awesome remixes of tons of classic tunes.

@Orlandu Just finished that MegaMan Bit Brigade video. Pretty great. Cool how they have the game playing on the screen as they play. You've seen them live?

@nonamesleft Yep! They often come by a local retro arcade. I've seen them play everything except their Zelda concert (icy roads kept me from going to that one) and their brand new stuff. Super excited to eventually see them play Double Dragon.

You should definitely check out MAGFest. Tons of live video game music every year with plenty of recordings of past events.

Yeah, Yoko Shimomura is a great composer. Did the whole Mario & Luigi RPG series. Some really great tunes.
She also composed music for Xenoblade Chronicles and some of the Kingdom Hearts games, as well as some pieces for Pokemon, some stuff for Smash Bros, and definitely at least one piece for Professor Layton. I'm sure there's more that she composed. Great composer. Make a CD set of just her music. I think I'd buy it.

I'm a big champion of the scores from the Singletrac games for the original PlayStation. Literally everything game soundtrack before Rogue Trip is high energy, cinematic, and as close to a real band/orchestra as you can get with a synthesizer. Some great examples are Desert Zone from Warhawk, " title="www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rsizt61ygWs (secure)" rel="nofollow">The Mediterranean from Critical Depth, and " target="_blank" rel="nofollow" title="www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccGGL2yl6rc (secure)">Antarctica from Twisted Metal 2.Man that Twisted Metal 2 soundtrack was awesome.

I like games with DEEP ambient soundtracks. One of the oldest ones I remember liking was Aidyn Chronicles on
. It had crickets chirping at night, you could hear the stream get louder as you approach. Birds, etc. . I noticed the Shadow Man remastered has a lot of ambience like rain and such. Secret of Evermore's soundtrack was great, some of those songs almost had an ambient feel. Like crickets and such. Even though it was still a musical track. Very cool, check it out.

Sounds like crickets, birds, rain, etc, can get lost over handheld speakers. (I typically game handheld)
I bought a pair of over ear headphones awhile back, and plugged it into my Switch. I was amazed at the sound experience. And then I think it was last year at some point that I bought a stereo system. The sounds it was producing were incredible. I felt like I had been robbing myself of a great music experience for all the games I hadn't used either headphones or a speaker system. While the built in speakers of handheld consoles are adequate, headphones/a decent speaker system are next level.
