What is one (1) track from a video game OST I should put on my work playlist?

I know you probably love a dozen tracks, please pick one, thank you in advance.
EDIT: Thank you all so far, especially everyone who kept it to one. I am at work currently and will make my way through the list but may not get a chance to thank you individually. I am checking them all out though and appreciating it.
Stickerbush Symphony - Donkey Kong Country 2
Dang, I was late by a minute
If you like chiptunes, "the moon" from DuckTales does a great job at instilling a sense of adventure. If chiptunes aren't your thing, here's an orchestral version

YOU HAD ONE JOB
God of the Dead from Hades!
Unreal Tournament Soundtrack - Foregone Destruction (Facing Worlds) Wait until the DnB kicks in. Monster Kill
Anything Hollow Knight
The Spine - Transistor OST.
There's 3 versions, though... The soundtrack version with lyrics, the game instrumental, and the humming version.
Most of the tracks in the game have at least 2 versions, music is kind of a central theme of the story.
My Only Chance - The Toxic Avenger https://youtu.be/SeAAi7jWOl8
It's a fucking hard call though because there are a lot of great picks out there - Doom does amazing metal and Hotline Miami has a legendarily good soundtrack... but Furi takes the cake for me personally.
The title song from the OG mirrors edge, which is by Solar Fields
Milky Way (Explore) by Ben Prunty from FTL: Faster Than Light
The Spine by Darren Korb and Ashley Barret, from the Transistor soundtrack. Not my kind of game honestly, I never finished it, but I keep coming back to the soundtrack ❤️
and the sequel that references it: Hades II - The Silver Sisters
Anything from the Grim Fandango soundtrack.
If you want the version with a little more oomph, there's a remaster version. I listen to this for coding.
This one from Hotline Miami https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNE2oCZH_4k
Great tune. I only know it from this Sauer race-vid
We All Lift Together from Warframe.
Absolute banger and perfect for wageslavery.
MORTAL KOMBAT
Main menu theme, Myth II Soulblighter
The Great Sea (From Legend of Zelda Windwaker) - The Marcus Hedges Trend Orchestra
The opening to Chrono Cross https://youtu.be/923fVDDwaHo?si=uJ6IVP9B_nH_pUo2
I like Life is Strange 1's sound track tbh. Tony Hawk and Grand Theft Auto and Pokemon and Mario all have some excellent music too.
edit: Wow, I forgot a word, and it completely changed the meaning of my sentence lol
Can’t believe no one has suggested this yet: Melodies of Life from Final Fantasy IX
Batman (NES) – Streets of Desolation
Sega version is good too, just different
I like it here, from RimWorld.
Substitute Chaos Bringer to really give everyone flashbacks
Here's a very deep cut. Myst 4 Main Theme: https://youtu.be/yXu6ZYy2WLg
Really gets going at 1 minute in.
Planescape: Torment - Bones of the Night
My son would vote for the Witherstorm theme in Minecraft.
The whole soundtrack is good, but:
Counterattack from Xenoblade Chronicles 2
I especially love the way it subverts the rhythm and modulates the key going into the final refrain around 3:45.
Anything from the Loop Hero OST is awesome, but I favor Loop Hero - Loop Blues the most.
Stickerbush Symphony from Donkey Kong Country 2.
Bonus: a Charles Cornell breakdown of the song.
Slinger's Song - from the game Bastion
I heard this song first on this Sauerbraten race-vid, I haven't played the original Bastion game.
Bastion has a slew of great soundtracks and environments, and I found the story very impactful. Highly recommend trying the game if you can!
really a mix, pop, death metal, jazz, alt, edm... although if I need to concentrate it needs to be a song that I don't know if it has lyrics as otherwise it's distracting
Here's a Super Mario first level theme, 10 hours mix. You are welcome.
P.T. Adamczyk - The Rebel Path from CP2077. Just really dark, and hype at the same time.
I have loads of suggestions, but my absolute favorite video game song is Drone by bignic from the Domina soundtrack. I listen to it on the subway at least once a month.
Behind the Mask from Persona 5. I watched a streamer play this game and this song got stuck in my head all the time.
Clouds and Feuds from Age Of Wonders
Coral Crown from Hades 2 is a bop
Dk Country: Aquatic Ambience
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5rAjOjTGtc
This is what lofi youtube wishes it could be.
Memories of the Lost, Endless Space 2 main theme
Don't be so serious from death stranding.
Sealed Vessel from Hollow Knight
Night City from Cyberpunk 2077
Nighr City is just so good!
Fell in love with this tune from Octopath Traveller 2:
Listen to Octopath Traveler 2 OST - A Sensational City by InfiniteShadow https://on.soundcloud.com/zGGty
Bombjack for Game Boy title theme:
My Splatoon-obsessed son recommends In Filtration from Splatoon 3.
March of the Dreadnoughts, from Final Fantasy XIII!
https://youtu.be/VZw9O0julsA?si=5CAsmLXxJLI-AmgZ
I think it’s my favorite instrumental piece of music.
If you want to get shit done for good, the ending to Max Payne 3. Tears.
Martha's Truth from the Cobatribes
Answers - FFXIV
I might come across as an obsolete dinosaur (which I probably am) - but I really enjoyed the tracks from Hitman game series, especially Exploration from Hitman 2 : Silent Assasin, and then became a fan of anything composed by Jesper Kyd.
