From the top of my head: It might be mainstream, but I liked the gun sounds in battlefield 1 and 5. Also I enjoyed the slow motion gun sounds in Max Payne 2 a lot. Call of duty modern warfare was also great back in the day. Don’t know how the newer installations are holding up.

MW2019 and MW2022 have fantastic weapon sounds, but I think the MP soundscape is a bit of a tossup with the footstep sounds.
Hollow Knight! The orchestral sound design is an experience in itself!
Tarkov is known for how great the soundscape is. I highly recommend using the SPTarkov mod to play offline though.
Tetris Effect on VR (ps/quest). think hypnotic trance
Seconding Tetris Effect. Even without vr the soundtrack is great. Ultimate "flow" game. Super chill.
I really really really liked the theme music and all sound design in the Red Alert 2 and Generals Zero Hour games. Those were excellent, to the point I'd listen to the theme alone when working or driving.
assetto corsa competizione
or really any quality racing game. its almost like 50% of my enjoyment
I don't care for the Warhammer universe, or Tactics games all that much. Tactics game Warhammer 40k: Mechanicus held my attention for far longer than it should have thanks to its incredible sound design.
My favourite gun sounds are the plasma gun from doom 3 and the bolter / heavy bolter sounds in space marine, im really hoping the sequel lives up to the standard set by the first, as the new boltgun game just doesnt quite cut it on that front for me.
The modern hitman trilogy had some really good sound design from my experience. Definitely recommended with a good pair of headphones. Realistic but also crisp.
