TLOU2 closely followed by Half Life Alyx. But while Alyx was an almost surreal experience thanks to VR, TLOU2 had more emotional impact and deeper gameplay mechanics and it was way longer. But both are among the best games ever made.
Nioh 2. Surpassed the original in every way and I already thought that game was one of my favorites of all time.
1. The Last of Us Pt. 2 (by a mile)
2. Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition
3. Nioh 2/Animal Crossing
Everything else I played from this year failed to leave a lasting impression, really enjoyed catching up on Ace Combat 7 and Valfaris though. Still really need to play Huntdown and Desperados 3.

Only about half (?) way done through my first playthrough of the game, ever... and yeah, this is something truly special.
One Step From Eden. I normally don't like run-based games, or deck building games, and i have played maybe 40 minutes of a Megaman Battlenetwork game in the past at a friends house... but something about this really clicked for me and it's sort of my 'i kind of like rogue-lites' now moment.
HUNTDOWN
It's an insanely well made retro-style, side-scrolling, action shooter with a cyberpunk aesthetic and incredible pixel art!
I haven't finished The Last of Us 2 yet, though.

Eh, I guess Nioh 2, although it's not without its own fair share of issues. It was a toss up between it and TLOU 2, which is easily the best looking console game of this year, if not this gen. It's a really good game, but also very flawed too in its own way. Aside from those two, I guess I mostly enjoyed FF7R, although the pacing problems it has really dragged down the entire affair for me. It was much better on a replay where I skipped every cutscene. RE3 was fine, but mostly forgettable and that's pretty much my year so far, other than just replaying Monster Hunter World.
Doom Eternal, easily. The most exhilarating experience from start to finish, loved it.
But regarding the more obvious choice for many: I'm only 10 hours in to TLoU2, but feels like a chore so far compared to the first game and I'm just not really feeling it yet. Just too much talking and walking slowly for me. The polar opposite of Doom Eternal I guess. It's clearly a great game but just not really for me, but I've started so I'll finish. Looks beautiful though and the sound design is sublime.
Also should mention Ori which I enjoyed, but also preferred the first game.
And I did a LTTP with Undertale which is a fucking glorious game and would be my GOTY so far if it qualified.

The PC Engine Mini came out this year, and it has Soldier Blade, so Soldier Blade definitely counts as GotY 2020.
Probably Doom Eternal so far, but I haven't finished TLoU2 or FF7R yet. Though I doubt the latter will surpass it. I'd be surprised if my GOTY wasn't Cyberpunk though.
I don't think anything will be able to surpass half-life alyx for me this year. It's been decades since I was this impressed by a game on a freshly bought platform (Mario 64, ahum).
I guess Paladins. I know it's not a 2020 game but I just started playing this year. Other than that I haven't bought all that much since none of the new releases have really been appealing to me.
TLOU2 and FF7R are wrestling with each other. I'm only an estimated 20% through the former, and have much more in the post-game to do for the latter.
The game I know I will have spent the most time on though, by a fucking landslide, will be World of Warcraft, as it is every year. If you only counted my enthusiasm, energy and time investment in 2020 with its forthcoming expansion, Shadowlands, which is probably going to release in November or December, that alone would dwarf anything else. I'm REALLY looking forward to it and will sink hundreds of hours in without a doubt.
