I wanted to be disingenuous and answer "it's the best possible game considering the genre and gameplay loop the developers choose the game to be"

But this would be a lie. I'm a huge fan of turn based RPGs, I have been playing JRPGs and board games since I was a kid and started playing TTRPGs wince I was a teenager

So for me no matter how well made Mario Kart or any kart racer can possible be, it will never be as good as games like Persona, Final Fantasy, Baldurs Gate, Fire Emblem... I'm simply more attracted to strategic/tactical combat

So in the end GOTY is "The game you liked the most among the genres you already like". It's really simple as that
