The Battlefield V soundtrack is pretty great, in my opinion.

Psychonauts 2. Peter McConnell only got better as the years went by.
Not a game, but you can't go wrong with most of the Ocean's Eleven-Thirteen soundtracks, if you like funky jazzy stuff.
Fire Emblem Fates, Telltale’s The Walking Dead, and Ocarina of Time are some of my favorite Soundtracks in my library
ATM I love the soundtracks of:
- Civilization 6
- Genshin Impact
- Persona 3
- Rimworld (+ P-music mod)
Since you already mentioned Final Fantasy (I assume that's FF).
Halo 2
Nier:Automata
Undertale
I can provide some examples if you are looking for something specific but to list some games that haven't been mentioned yet, there's:
The Touhou games along with the remixes/covers and fan games like the two "Touhouvania" games.
Most of the Castlevania games.
Most of the Sonic games and fan games like Sonic After the Sequel and SRB2.
And to go with something really obscure, Chaos Legion.

Lots of Elder Scrolls and Elder Scrolls Online
Lots of Metal Gear stuff
Kingdoms of Amalur
Shadow of the Colossus
Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon (badass 80s music)
Assassins Creed 3
I liked the music in La-Mulana 1&2.
Commenting here because I tend to enjoy game soundtracks and want to look these up.
Severed Steel (Chewing Glass Pt 1 and 2 by Floating Door)
BONEWORKS (BONETONES by Michael Wyckoff)
Hotline Miami (various EPs and singles by Various Artists)
Elite: Dangerous (Elite: Dangerous OST by Erasmus Talbot)
Dusk (Dusk OST by Andrew Hulshult)
Amid Evil (Amid Evil OST by Andrew Hulshult)
I didn't expect to see hulshult up in here along with floating door.
The strafe soundtrack by toytree is also really nice

Rise of Nations soundtrack is fantastic sandis the only "video game music" that I semi-regularly listen to.
Especially check out "High Strung" that would always play in multiplayer whenever a player dropped a nuke on another player.

Ori and the Blind Forest. Every song in the soundtrack is brilliant
I beat you to it, but not by much ;p
Minecraft
Doesn't look like anyone listed the Ori soundtracks by Gareth Coker yet, they're amazing. Also can't go wrong with WoW if you're looking for more classic fantasy style.
Any of Marty O'Donnell's Halo soundtracks
Everything by Jeremy Soule. Especially Guild Wars 2 and Skyrim.
Crysis 2
Overwatch
A Hat In Time
Total Annihilation
Portal / Portal 2
"Science Is Fun" is a great track, as are the end songs "Still Alive" and "I Want You Gone".
Pokémon music. Especially the route themes and battle themes. If I had to list the bangers it would take hours
Nothing hits harder then good old Zelda Music! Best of the best in my books ;)
Super Meat Boy - Ballad of the burning squirrel
Super Meat Boy - Forest Funk
Super Meat Boy - Betus Blues
The composer for Super Meat Boy has done lots of great tracks for Binding of Isaac and Crypt of the Necrodancer too (Danny Baranowsky)
Enter the Gungeon - Abbey or Die
Enter the Gungeon - Behold the Boss Eater
Enter the Gungeon - Boss Battle Beating
Metal Gear solid theme
Nine Sols - Collage
Hades soundtrack (all of it) + if you search for the composer (Darren Korb) then you'll find loads more great soundtracks he's done (notably for Bastion).
Hollow Knight soundtrack (all of it + the piano cover version)
Street Fighter 6 - Viator (theme for Ryu + there's a real cool metal cover that is on YouTube by an indie metal band)
Wipeout HD soundtrack (all of it)
Super Hexagon (all 3 tracks)
Hotline Miami soundtrack
Dead Cells
Lots of people have rightly mentioned FTL
Frank Kelpacki has done tons of great soundtracks across the whole Command and Conquer series and it's worth searching through.
If you're into chip tunes, then it is also worth checking out Streets of Rage 2 soundtrack.
In case you haven't noticed, I'm really into video game instrumentals. If anyone else is interested, there's a great podcast called Sound of Gaming by BBC radio 3 that is worth going through the back catalogue of episodes.

Can't go wrong with pretty much any pre-Skyward Sword Zelda. SS itself also has Ballad of the Goddess, which was good, but I can't remember any other tunes from it or BOTW that aren't just reprises of tracks from previous games.
Overall, Surviving Mars might be my favorite work soundtrack. Assorted tracks from Stellaris plus the Age of Wonders and Civilization series are also good. Something about the soundtracks in 4X games and games like them always puts me in a productive mood while not making me emotional and thus distracted like RPG soundtracks can sometimes.
Since you like FF, I'd suggest looking into Uematsu's other works as well, especially Lost Odyssey. For similar ones in the genre, there's also Yasunori Mitsuda's work in the Chrono and Xeno series.
I prefer Sci-fi background noise so Surviving Mars is my favorite. Mass Effect is ok but I find it gets a little too cinematic and bombastic at times. FTL and Into The Breach, or really anything by Ben Prunty is good too
The Dead Cells soundtrack. Especially:
- Prisoner's Awakening (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzK3z8MLSpA&list=PLombWqRALIZDwEsPJuGvD6soVFA46I7f2&index=3)
- Clocktower (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ1Pk8HBYJU&list=PLombWqRALIZDwEsPJuGvD6soVFA46I7f2&index=21)
- Temple (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fg0R4w7LvG4&list=PLombWqRALIZDwEsPJuGvD6soVFA46I7f2&index=20)
- Lighthouse (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fqHBOTFgcI&list=PLombWqRALIZDwEsPJuGvD6soVFA46I7f2&index=41)
You missed some great ones:
Promanade of the Condemned
Prison Rooftop
Formerly Known as Assassin
The Castle
Hand of the King
The whole soundtrack is one banger after another. The two best are Clocktower and Hand of the King.

Stellaris. Absolutely fantastic.
Donkey Kong Country, especially 2. From the original, I recommend Aquatic Ambience. But for DKC2, honestly let the OST play. There's so many greats.
Stickerbush Symphony the GOAT. But yes, so many great picks in here.
That's also my top pick!
I'm a sucker for a cello. When I'm testing new audio equipment I put on Austin Wintory's soundtrack to Journey. So, so beautiful.
Also love cello, and it's why I keep hoping the long-rumored new version of Final Fantasy Tactics will surface soon. Even with a fifth console gen soundfont, Sakimoto's strings are so good in that soundtrack.
