i like the Animal Crossing : New Leaf soundtrack, and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate too. those are probably the only ones i regularly listen to? idk this is almost a bit difficult to answer lawl...
My wife got me into Halo music, ngl
Besides Cold Storage all of them are established music acts outside of videogames, not really counts as "video game music" IMHO
the same goes for games like tony hawks pro skater
or forza horizon where the dnb channel consists of tracks from hospital records, not really counts as "video game music" either
it's just music played in a video game
my favorites for music made specifically for a video game:
chrono trigger & cgrono cross and brink of time ( crono trigger jazz interpretations )
turrican from chris hülsbeck
the flame in the flood
policenauts
I'm more into modern videogame soundtracks:
-Horizon: Zero Dawn
-Some of the Square Enix 2D HD stuff like Bravely Default and Octopath Traveler
-The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
-The Witcher 3
-Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth (this game is so good and no one talks about it. But the sountrack is also very good)
-Disco Elysium
-Shovel Knight
-Nitronic Rush (the soundtrack is better than the one of Distance in my opinion)
-The Elder Scrolls III (I prefer it over oblivion and skyrim)
-Frostpunk (both base game and expansion)
-LEGO Island Xtreme Stunts: the soundtrack brings back so many memories
-Far Cry 3 and 6
-Ori and the blind forest
-Warhammer 40k mechanicus
-Many soundtracks from the Assassin's Creed series (especially 3, Origins and Rogue)
-I think that I will also buy the soundtrack of RDR2 in the future so that will be on this list in the future
These are the ones that I mainly enjoy at the moment.

I barely listen to non game music at all
I usually go for the Super Paper Mario ost if I feel like listening to video game music. They give off a weird nostalgic liminal like comfort feeling, y'know?
Personal Favorites: Castel Bleck, Staff Credits, Mount Lineland, Tokens Please, Sammer's Kingdom, The Open Plane, Floro Sapien Caverns, Pit of 100 Trials, and Memory 1-4
YEAH BOISo I am giving Paper Mario's OST a listen (first time I've ever heard it) and I LOVE IT!!! WHO'S YOUR NEW BUDDY, EH YOU HOSER???
Lotta stuff In there I've not heard, save for Mario Galaxy and Pt. 2, And Halo #***.Hell yeah. It's about half of what I listen to, I'd say. Some favorites of mine include
Kingdom Hearts (Any game in the series, really. Fav soundtracks by far!)
Mario Galaxy games
Some Call of Duty/Halo/other shooters
Various Final Fantasy songs
Zelda
Cuphead
Anything by insaneintherainmusic
Persona 3,4,5
Not only do I listen to video game music, I collect VGM on vinyl

There's tons and tons more in my collection but this post would require a page of its own if I posted every VGM album I owned that I love lol.
Edit - and for the possibly concerned fellow record collectors out there, by "collect" I mean "buy and listen to and keep". I don't buy music to keep it sealed, and I don't buy it to flip it. Cut the shrink wrap and spin that LP!
