I see we have a scholar and a gentleman in our midst. Well done good sir!
It's gotta be the theme to Fallout 4 from Inon Zur. I fucking love this song, and everything about it. The use of it in the trailer for the game was brilliant, and for me it tells a story. It starts off peaceful, nostalgic and teanquil like the postwar era of the Fallout canon. Then suddenly... bam! An explosive burst of tension, energy and fright. The nukes are inbound. The world has gone to shit. Finally, the nuke strikes and the music hits its climax, and what's left is a soft reprise of the earlier music, the living members of society clinging on to anything sense of normalcy left and trying to rebuild.
The song is sad, thoughtful but also darkly hopeful and I love it to bits.

God, that DLC was fantastic. Made me so hyped for the sequel (...which admittedly is still a ways out).
I posted this instead of the opening to avoid spoilers.
I love that a good chunk Heavensward's soundtrack can be heard in its main theme.
Some of it is probably due to having listened to variations of it throughout the game, but the opening theme still gives me chills.
Edit: Only unfortunate thing is it's harder to hear the chorus in this recording.

Maybe not my overall favorite track this gen, but I really adore this song from RDR2.
And this song from Bloodborne as well. It's just so haunting and beautiful.
Oh yeah, and there's also this song from Fire Emblem Echoes

For a while this was the favorite song of my 4 years old a couple of years ago lol. She called it the song about pirates and witches.
How you gonna do us like that? Asking us a question and posting the objectively correct answer?
Undertale and Nier Automata, as noted multiple times above, have the soundtracks of the generation.
But there are definitely single tracks from other games that deserve mention as well, including Devil Trigger from DMC V and a few remixes from Smash Ultimate.

Also FF14 ost is unmatched as a whole as good as other tracks in some games are.
Only Smash Ultimate comes close imo

This is short, but Laura Shigihara singing this is so beautiful. Got chills while listening just now.
Highlighting this, since a lot of my favorites are already well known. When this played in-game, I was floored.
Aww yeah, just what I was thinking. Someone put it to the sound of rain and I find it great to fall asleep to.
For something completely different, I happen to like the Puyo Puyo arrangement in Sonic Mania :)
