Did you ever play
Dust: An Elysian Trail? not only is it an excellent Metroidvania style action adventure game, it also had a really really amazing soundtrack! I'm pretty sure it all was from the mind of one dude, he got help but most of the work was from him. It was a pretty charming game that had a deep combat system and was really fun to play.
As for other all time fave VG OSTs, Baten Kaitos would definitely be in the top tier among them. The games music had such a enchanting and mesmerizing vibe. Motoi Sakuraba really let it all out in these games, the music changed the whole atmosphere of the game. He had thought provoking melodies for the tear jerking moments, rocking guitar solos for the battle segments and even spacey jazz style arrangements. This games OST is all over the place and I love every minute of it.
