Many games feature amazing music, but certain games take it beyond even that.

Games like DOOM are known for the "procedural" composition they use to marry gameplay and sound, and not only that, the way the music is a perfect tonal match to what is happening.

What games have you played that feature music that doesn't just make you notice it, but also pulls you further in?

Deus Ex Mankind Divided.
Rain World.
Super Metroid.
I'll second Nier Automata. There aren't even any words in the lyrics, it's amazing.

    Nier Automata. There aren't even any words in the lyrics, it's amazing.

    Except for the "final" track, "Weight of the World", which is just amazing and chilling, especially in the context of the game and lore if you make it to the end of true ending e. Apparently the Japanese version uses a take where the vocalist started crying during it, and in the English version you can hear the vocalist struggling towards the end.

    And there's the one track that's name escapes me with the robots chanting "become as gods".

    A lot of the other tracks have chanting, but it's intentionally not in any language, despite every track having a pretty heavy emotional feel to it.
