FFVII Rebirth... Helldivers 2 is a close second, followed by Rise of the Ronin.
Depending on how Helldivers 2 progress (live service games tend to evolve and get better with time (or worse)) and Rise of the Ronin might eventually get some expansions, things can change.
Also, I still have to play Stellar Blade and Unicorn Overlord.

Probably Rebirth and Helldivers 2.
Don't have time for Stellar Blade, DD2 is simply not my cup of tea.

Rise of the Ronin. It is the most underrated game since Days Gone or Prey

Of what I played that is on that list, Dragon dogma 2, but not as good as I was hoping so It'll be outclassed easily.
Even my replay of Fallout New Vegas is more entertaining.

Stellar Blade but there's enough small issues that it's not a strong winner. I'm still working through NG+ (with hard mode afterwards) and the annoyances are fading a bit as I've gotten used to them.
Looking at other games with a firm release date of this year I don't see anything that could overtake it. Not counting Elden Ring DLC of course...

Hard to say
Helldivers 2, FF7R, and Stellar blade are all
Excellent
Probably given the edge to FF7R

Helldivers 2 by a good margin.

Had to give it to Rebirth. It definitely overstayed its welcome, the last quarter of the game felt like a bit of a slog, I just wanted it to finally be over. The final boss battle was absurdly long, fuck you Squeenix dev team for not putting some checkpoints in there between phases. But so far there isn't anything new this year I enjoyed more.
I had very high hopes for Rise of the Ronin and Stellar Blade. I was hoping Ronin would be more similar to something like Ghost of Tsushima, and I was hoping Stellar Blade would be along the lines of DMC/Bayo/Automata, but in both cases they just had too many soulslike elements for my taste. They were OK, but even on easy mode they were soured for me. Just not into that annoying combat "work for it, work for every single hit you pussy" style.

FFVIIR definitely.
Hopefully Metaphor: ReFantazio surprised us.

I liked some games, but nothing stands out as being good enough for being in the running.

It's a tie between Eiyuden Chronicles and Unicorn Overlord so far
I'm finished Unicorn Overlord and loved the gameplay but had some issues with other aspects of the game
I'm currently playing Eiyuden Chronicles (8 Hours In) I've been loving it despite my issues with the localization (I've been playing the game with Japanese Voices with English Subtitles) I haven't really noticed anything woke yet. But overall the game been fantastic

Assuming you’re not trolling meNever heard of it
It’s an incredibly addictive deck builder, based around the rules of poker. It’s the type of game that’s hard to explain, but easy to play. I usually tell my friends “it’s a dopamine machine”
Definitely worth getting if you’re into short gameplay loops (around 30-60 min) with big payoffs when you succeed.

You know that complicated feeling you have when you enjoyed some games but not a whole lot and you don't want to pick any of them because none of them were particularly special compared to the others?
We've got the rest of may through the end of December to go but that's my entire GOTY candidate list so far.

Easily Infinite Wealth. They nailed the pacing and the plot action of the main story and the overall gameplay was fun and non-offensive. Bawled me eyes out at the ending.
FF7 Rebirth is really the only other big title besides Persona 3 that I've played this year. P3 is ok, but it's rather bland outside of it's catchy art and aesthetics. And I am not a fan of the whole social link.
FF7 Rebirth had the potential to top Infinite Wealth for me, but there's so many immersion breaking design and story choices scattered through the game that while I enjoyed myself more than 16 there were lots of little things that soured the experience.

I haven’t played anything noteworthy this year, which is a damn shame. And the even bigger shame is that nothing noteworthy seems to even be upcoming anytime soon…
