Nier: Automata got me into music with made up languages. Though this pre-dates Nier, Yoko Kanno and her alter ego Gabrielle Robin made a song called "Moon" from the Lodoss War anime series. Pure fuckin Gold

Hotline Miami pretty much awakened my passion for synthwave.

This. All of it. I am now exclusively a synthwave fan.

Also Final Fantasy IX awakened my love for video game music.

Twisted Metal 4 had great music. I junior high I ripped the tracks and burned a copy so that I could listen to the soundtrack on my way to school. I recently looked up the soundtrack on YouTube and discovered several of the songs included in the game as instrumentals actually had vocals, and some of them were edited in other ways to better suit the theme of the game. I've found the original versions are better, and some of the artists have great catalogs.

Cirrus - Time is Running Out




One Minute Silence - And Some Ya Lose




One Minute Silence - A More Violent Approach




Ghoulspoon - Alien Magnet





Tony Hawk's Pro Skater always had good music, but the best song in the series is definitely this one:

Three Inches of Blood - Deadly Sinners




And I can't leave out the best song to ever be included in a video game:

Bula Matari - Taxi Drivers

GTA San Andreas - rap, hiphop culture

Fallout, 100%. I loved listening to the old world shit, and I was always a fan of the Blues, so it reminded me of what my dad used to play over the radio when I was a kid. It was so interesting to hear music like that.
