These two will be overlooked, so I will post them as they are both masterpieces in their own right.
Chrono Cross's absurdly good OST still has a lot of my all-time favorites.
- Scars of Time: https://open.spotify.com/track/6EapfEboY2MwbLwqjn4CnU
- Shore of Dreams: https://open.spotify.com/track/5sawyhIAWf23HYNgiIyBsc

Star Ocean 2's OST is transcendental. It really takes me to another, calmer, more mystical world
Somnus from FFXV:
Simple and Clean from Kingdom Hearts:
Chika from Kingdom Hearts III:
The main theme of Dissidia:

I have just beaten Shadowbringers, and I will always post this song now. That expansion touched me deeply.
"Remember us. Remember that we lived..."

The two elven starting zones from World of Warcraft's heyday had amazingly beautiful music. I still sit in my room and turn these two tracks on when I need to relax, sometimes.
Teldrassil is enchanting, but Eversong has a melancholy undertone to it. Fitting, considering that zone is a broken kingdom trying to recover from being absolutely destroyed.
Austin Wintory's soundtrack for The Pathless is incredible. No YouTube links unfortunately, but give the bandcamp a listen: https://austinwintory.bandcamp.com/album/the-pathless
Im going to sway away from the standard orchestral masterpieces.
Stamps theme is crafted in a pristine manner. It is catchy with just the right undertone of eerie to make a perfect propaganda song. It is expert work.

Lewis' Coronation from What Remains of Edith Finch may be the single most effective uses of music I've ever seen portrayed in a videogame:
Also one of the best videogame sequences I've ever played.

Everything in What Remains of Edith Finch is great. The music in that game along with the narration is pure gold.
Other than that, Marcin Przybyłowicz has done some great stuff but I mostly know him from Witcher. It's only after Googling him I found out he did more stuff I like, which is funny. While I am a bit lazy and won't go as far as looking up if he 'made that' it's still safe to assume he did fantastic work in many games, so, i'll credit him anyway :P
It doesn't work on some internet page but in gameplay, on that field, it's magical

I was about to edit my post with that... But then the sequel.
I can listen to that and it's variations for hours. Which is good, cause you'll hear it a lot but it never bores me.
I loved this soundtrack. I would listen to it every night (this was maybe 20 years ago) to help me sleep. This was my favorite called We Form in Crystals. Absolutely beautiful and a little haunting.:
Definitely the Satorl Marsh Night theme in Xenoblade Chronicles, one of the coolest moments I've had in a game.
