I've considered a few things this year, as there have been a few questions come to mind while thinking about GOTYs. The first being that from here on out, I'll be considering early access games that reach their full release. I've always wondered if it's best to wait until full release, because I think that once you start selling a game it can (and should) be critiqued. However, for the purposes of GOTY considerations, I think judging a game by its full release is appropriate.

There's something exciting in the process of discovery that's often ruined by mass marketing and the hype machine. It's kind of impossible to be surprised by a big budget game with an even bigger advertising budget, as they tend to throw all the good stuff at you before you even make a purchase. Thankfully though, the lower end of the market is full of little surprises waiting to be discovered.
