This is my first year on SteamGAF (and actually my first year on Steam after a long hiatus), so i'm kinda out of the loop with this stuff, but i see a lot of discussions about "SteamGAF game of the year" and personal GOTYs of different people.
Which made me realize that i can't really call any game my GOTY right away. I haven't played any of the "high-profile" games that people nominate for the GOTY title, like DOOM, HITMAN, Civ6 or Witcher 3 + DLCs, due to financial constraints and the fact that AAA games still cost a lot in the russian region (their price is about 60% of the base european\american price, while smaller titles usually cost in the range of 25-40% of the base price). My biggest purchase this year was God Eater R + 2, which i liked a lot, but still need to finish the first game though. I've also played a lot of IFI\CH and NISA games that were released this year (and some that aren't yet released), mostly as a beta-tester.
If i had to actually choose a game to name my GOTY, that would probably be Xanadu Next, followed pretty close by God Eater and another game that i'm not sure i'm allowed to name yet (i doubt it's coming out this year, anyway
)
