Hollow Knight music. It's great for all sorts of combat. I also use different music depending on the difficulty of the battle (so a few goblins will have basic battle music, but the archmage BBEG would have different music). Skyrim music and Pillars of Eternity music also work well. I also suggest Spotify if you're making your own playlist.
If you don't mind being somewhat corny or on the nose, battle music from specific open world RPG games like Golden Sun or Fire Emblem do well. I personally use the Age of Empires soundtrack a lot for mood setting and background music.
Oh yeah, I didn't think of that. Games with lots of diverse regions and areas will have lots of different music styles for different places and situations. Thanks!
It takes a bit of searching for the vibe you want, but Tabletop Audio has 10 minute loops of anywhere from pure music to pure ambient noise + a sound mixer and playlists and stuff, it's great.
