Those moments when the music matches up perfectly with gameplay.

Came to post this, though the player in that video did it wrong. If you drop and immediately start shooting up the rival gang members it works a lot better.
And for the low price of $13!
Sayonara actually builds each of its levels around its music, start to finish. It's not a rhythm game, but the gameplay is synchronized and changes with each segment of the song. Hazards and button prompts are also synced to the music to an impressive degree. Collectibles in some of the levels even act as additional instruments for the song based on the noise they make when you grab them. It's glorious.
Recently? When you turn Fortnite on for the first time after C2S1 was released. The combination of not realizing that the game was going to cold open like that, and the song choice (surprisingly) worked to be a cohesive celebration of Fortnite's history up to this point, and the game turning a corner in general with a new map and approach to on-ramping new players. Check out the whole thing:
Picking up the sword and preparing to smite Crota in Destiny. I know it's "on cue" but it's soooo good.
There is a really cool segment in Ace Combat 7 when you fight that huge aircraft. When the shield goes down the main theme starts playing really loud.
That one section when you start attacking space whales in Child of Eden. This is probably cheating though since it's a music game
The ashtray maze from control.
The song only progresses as you progress through the maze, such a brilliant touch, just one of the many reasons control is my game of the year.

The more I read the posts in this thread the more I realize that both Destiny 1&2 have some of the greatest BGMs ever.
Little detail, but in Super Robot Wars V, if you let the animation of the Cross Ange protagonist's final attack play at normal speed, the animation syncs up with the music, so when the angelic singing sound comes up it will look like the character is singing it herself.
Nearly all Platinum Games releases sync up music to your in-game performance. Check out this official blogpost about Bayonetta 2, for one example.
The shockwave sequence of Inside.
It starts with just an explosion sound every few seconds, and after solving a certain puzzle it transforms in a warm ambient wave song.
It really brings home that you are now safer than in the beginning of the sequence.
Don't have audio right now so I don't know if this clip contains the correct audio:

It really doesn't get better than this. This is hitting every single nostalgia note in all the right way on top of being absolutely gorgeous level and astonishing piece of music in it's own rights.
edit: I am definitely going to play this again today :D

The moment in Watch Dogs 1 where CREAM plays during an ambush is the only really memorable part of that game. But man is that an incredible
Also the airport scene in Max Payne 3.
HEALTH really aced this soundtrack.

yup, was going to post that, here's the gameplay version of it :
at 0:50
Say what you will about the games themselves, but the 3D Sonic games final bosses almost always have moments that seem perfectly tuned to match up to the music's hypest moments
Also the final bosses of both MGS3 and 4 do it perfectly, by having the music transition through various stages (No Music > Snake Eater no vocals > Snake Eater with vocals for the former, various boss themes from thru the series in the latter)

came here to post this
and this...
P.s. the Control one felt really out of place for me. Same with Red Dead 2.
Thread reminded me of when someone did freestyle musical to Smash footage which is a cool concept (that game is pure freestyle)
Inside in general has incredible audio-visual synchronicity. ie. the perfect marching in time
Recently beat the game and that one stands out. At that point it becomes the Starfox game ive wanted for generations.
Yea... Polygon lost me with not even mentioning that game. All the escape sequences were great.
A Beautiful Song

Title drop and shotgun sound FX to DOOM 2016.
And I'm also -slightly- biased, but every single fight in Killer Instinct. Ultra combos were actually designed to compose with the music.
Thanks, Mick.

Christ, the entirety of both these games have music that perfectly matches up.
The Wonderful 101 has this song that begins to play when you are getting the advantage over the boss you are fighting against - and it's GLORIOUS:
*melancholic violin*
"FUCK YOU!"
*Devil Trigger remix starts*
*bashes bosses heads together*
*Lyrics kick in*
"You feeling accepting yet!?"
