Just Cause 2

Agreed! Its sequel Just Cause 3 was good too. JC3 had a great soundtrack and did a fantastic job integrating it into gameplay.

The music was varied and thematic, but it was dynamic. You'd be sneaking around an enemy base, with tense music building, well, tension. Then when you blew up the first Standard Procedure Explosive Red Thing, the music kicked into gear as enemies freaked out and started gunning for you. You ran around for a bit shooting back and blowing up more stuff. And then you picked up that minigun, and the music swells into an "epic movie finale" flavor of the same motif while you're stomping around cutting through people and machines like butter. Talk about feeling like an utter badass.

If you download the full soundtrack, it becomes clear how they did what I'm talking about -- for any given segment of music, they included like 4 or 5 different versions of the motif with progressively increasing intensity. Great stuff throughout, though.

Honorable mention to Doom (2016) as well. That first time "BFG Division" plays (in that tower thing, I think?) during a big battle with those mancubus things and it hits the first chorus, that's a pretty good moment too. That whole tune just keeps you pumped throughout the fight.
 
Getting some talkers and people quoting the movie makes for a fun time in the Starship Troopers game. At one point some one was piping in the Klendathu Drop soundtrack as every one was heading to the evac point.
 
surprised nobody's said Revengeance yet. that one is so obvious it's almost obligatory

the entire Yakuza series
Diablo II/Path of Exile
Redout + Redout II AKA the best racing games ever made (don't @ me)
Crimzon Clover
Ys IV and up
Ion Fury (STEEEERIKE)
good ass DOOM mods (playing through Elementalism currently)

"I suppose it would have been more correct to kill the women and minorities first."

Any game with extremely visceral critical hits. Fallouts and Wastelands where entire torsos and limbs get gibbed with a good burst fire. Jagged Alliance is another good one. When you score a crit head shot, the head explodes and the character will quip about it.

GTA games where you can just create carnage. It's hard not to say 'fuck yeah' when you destroy a whole swat team with chain reaction vehicle explosion that tanks your framerate.

Piloting a death machine is 'fuck yeah' worthy. Mechwarrior when you devastate and enemy pilot with a missile barrage. I saw Ace Combat mention. Especially true if you are piloting the A10 and get to see carnage up close.

Dynamic score, I think, is what they call that practice. Lot of games do it, but Just Cause did have particularly good music. It and Hotline Miami both share something, in my opinion, in that the music has more rhythm and is much more dominant and so it and the gameplay flow together in a way that more subtle soundtracks fail to do.
 
Surviving a cold snap in Frostpunk usually triggers a few "fuck yeahs" from me.
Hitting that combo in a Soul Calibur game where Cervantes does his little drill charge does the job too.
