So far either Triangle Strategy or Kirby. Triangle Strategy is just a well made strategy game, and it falls in a nice little niche among strategy games striking a good balance between realism and fantasy. I love that each character is completely unique, so whereas characters often feel redundant in a game like Fire Emblem, everyone was worth messing around with.
Kirby would have hands down been my game of the year if I was 9 years old again, and I don't mean that as an insult. Kirby was one of the franchises that made me love gaming as a kid, and I'm glad that kids these days can have something so good designed for them, instead of having shovelware garbage. As an adult I still enjoyed the hell out of it (great game to play high) but it was too lacking in challenge to be my personal game of the year.
Bayonetta 3 is up there because it's Bayonetta. Gameplay is still amazing. But great gameplay could only take you so far, and the story and overall presentation just wasn't enough to take it from great to GOTY.
Just started Mario and Rabbids, but very much enjoying it so far. Really gotta give them props for going above and beyond what was needed for a sequel. It feels like the team was maybe constrained a bit in the first go around and were given more resources when the first one became a hit. Very well could overtake Triangle Strategy.
