It's that time of the year again, so I figured I'd throw out that question to everyone. Let's try to leave your choices to top 3. Break it down by genre if you so wish.

The only game I truly can say GOTY to is Divinity Original Sin. I just simply loved this from beginning to end.

Far Cry 4
Borderlands Pre-Sequel
GRID Autosport

Haven't really bought many games this year and haven't had a chance to catch up on some.

Currently playing CoD Advanced Warfare can't say yet because I'm few hours into it.
Just purchased and yet to play Assassins Creed Unity, Wolfenstein The New Order, The Crew so can't say.

Hearthstone would be the game I played the most this year.

  1. Divinity Original Sin
  2. Shadow of Mordor

Divinity because it was so good i couldn't stop playing it, and that's saying something when the player doesn't even particularly like the genre.

Shadow of Mordor because it added something new; the game was as much about Talion and the Wraith as it was about orcs and uruk. it may have been more about the antagonists, in fact. it also added something important that video games of this type have always been lacking. it drove home the point that even if you are a rambo superman (like in every video game), you are still one man against an entire army, and no matter what you do, you alone cannot change the world. there has never been a better way in a video game to show that, imo, when every npc you face has the potential to become stronger and eventually warchief. to put it in a better way, you may be superman, but every npc you face is potentially lex luthor or general zod.

both games ticked all the right boxes too: good visuals, sound, voice acting, combat, believable worlds, and general gameplay design.

Because I'm always behind (enables me to buy games while they're on sale), my GOTY so far is either Planetside 2, Battlefield 4, or Murdered: Soul Suspect. Banished is a close runner-up too.

I keep forgetting that certain games actually came out this year, and there's still a lot I want to play, but haven't gotten around to picking up or installing.

Out of what I have played, I'd say my top 5, in no particular order are:

Men of War Assault Squad II - Probably the best RTS released this year.
Star Trek Online: Delta Rising - They added enough to draw me back in again.
Planetary Annihilation - Yes I know, it's not as good as SupCom(1 or 2), I still really enjoy it.
ArcheAge - While I only played during the beta, I played a lot of it. It is certainly a game I will be going back to, when I can be bothered to level again.
Hearthstone - It's casual MTG, what's not to like.

If I had to just pick one of these, it'd probably be Men of War Assault Squad II.

A honourable mention goes to Heroes & Generals; while this game isn't out yet, I've had quite a bit of fun playing this with a couple of friends.

another Divinity: Original Sin here. Likely the best RPG this year period, and likely one of the best Co-op games, which is quite a feat if you think about it. co-op games rarely Work well with any kind of story attatched.

Awesome game. Runnerup would be Wasteland 2

I wish I could say Divinity Original Sin but I've been waiting for a coop partner before I play it and unfortunately I don't know anyone interested in cRPG-styled games. Wish I could say Far Cry 4 but the game is a technical mess at the moment. I guess I'd have to picking Binding of Isaac Rebirth because it's the only title I've actually sunk hours into this year that isn't DayZ.

I havent played any games this year i'd really rank that. Still trying to find some time to play Divinity OS, its likely i'd probably put this there since this is my type of game i like.

Southpark was good though.

Wasteland 2 followed by Banner Saga

Playing DAI right now and it has the potential to beat those games but right now the combat and gating of story progress is making that look unlikely.

Dark Souls 2, I guess. Not bought many new games this year. I've mostly been replaying stuff I played on consoles back in my peasant days, and other stuff I hadn't played before that released in previous years.

I think this year been quite rubbish and let down after let down. But most I played on PC only must be SimCity 5. Improved since launch but still a big let down.

@KHAndAnime:

Play it solo, don't wait if there is no one to play with you (Divinity: Original Sin). I also played it alone. One of the best games I've ever played. First few hours demand lot of patience when you learn ins and outs of the game. After that it is hard to stop playing.

I have yet to play Unity and FC4. So far nothing has really stood out epic enough since I played a heavily modified Skyrim.

I didn't play many of the games released this year, however, I believe Dragon Age: Inquisition, Divinity Original Sin, and Shadow of Mordor are all good contenders for the PC GOTY.

I have to say: I was very excited for Wasteland 2 (more so than Divinity which wasn't even on my rader).

Having played it extensively though, it is majorly disappointing.

The combat (which takes up 80-90% of the game) is clearly a simplstic version of xcom. It has no depth. You do exactly the same shit over and over again.

For some, bizarre reason, you have 4-5 different ways to heal, because... this is fun? Not, the combat but 4-5 ways to heal when you drop?

You also have 3 different stats for dialogue to influence the game and a stat for charisma but you barely fucking use it.

It's not a bad game but it's pretty far from perfect; Divinity kind of shat on it as far as I'm concerned.

I honestly can't pick one this year. Very disappointing year. Pumping out the same stuff, just more broken. I never got really excited for any games this year. Tomb Raider was my favorite game last year.

So far Alien Isolation. Although I am still playing Shadow of Mordor and I think there is a chance that this could take it; I will decide after I finish it.

Divnity OS is my GOTY, close behind it is DS2 ... Wasteland 2 was disapointing but I hear lots of patches came out for it so it may take my number 2 for the year.

Indeed. I must have 70 hours in it by now. Finally just got to the "It Lives" boss, beat him and get stuck on the Cathedral (I wonder what was in the trap door?) - I still have a ton more to uncover. And all the challenges. Mmm...
