A list of my favourite games for each year, going by the release date of the title on Steam. This list may be retroactively updated if I decide I like a different game better for any particular year.

If a year is missing a title, it either means that I didn't play any of the games released that year, or that none of the games I played for that year deserves to be GOTY.
