Roughly in reverse order of my enjoyment.

Valkyria Revolution - PS4

Flawed Badly

Long cutscenes with some of the most awkward motion capture I've ever seen. I only made it to the third "chapter." Gameplay was very much Dynasty Warriors in a bad way. I would say it's the most disappointing game ever, but I wasn't really expecting it to be that great anyway.

MvC: Infinite - PS4

Bad

Yoooo fuck this obvious cash grab. The fact that Venom looks good in videos means nothing to me, since I already returned this mess months ago. People say the gameplay here is good, but it's not. UMvC3 was much better.

Splatoon 2 - Switch

Good

I never played the first one and I'm not huge on this one either, but I can tell a good game when I see it. Turf War and Salmon Run are both really fun. Single-player was kind of sucky though.

Danganronpa V3 - Vita

Good, but flawed

It vacillates between being by far the best DR and being by far the worst. You can place me in the "hates the ending" camp, but even so, it's still a pretty good game. I hate Shuichi's VA though.

Super Mario Odyssey - Switch

Good, but somewhat overrated

While this is my first actual 3D Mario since 64, I had a good time. That being said, I'm not quite sure I get what the fuss is about. It's fun, but once it's over, what's the point? I don't see myself coming back to this.

Trails in the Sky, SC - Vita

Good

Once again, the second installment of a Trails game ups the pace and stakes of the first. My Trails timeline is something like:

First Chapter - played to Zeiss, got bored quit.
Cold Steel 1 - played halfway, got bored, quit.
Cold Steel 1 - months later, forced myself through, got to the cliffhanger (holy shit)
Cold Steel 2 - obsessed now, played through it quickly, loved it
First Chapter - started from the beginning, still kind of boring, but picks up
Second Chapter - obsessed, played through it quickly, loved it

One might say they should work on making their beginnings more interesting, but that would also kind of ruin the journey.

Tales of Berseria - PS4

Good

By far the biggest surprise of the year, this might be the best Tales game. Velvet's character design is not great, and the equipment system is still confusing as hell, but everything else about the game is really, REALLY good. Personally, I still like Graces F more than this one, purely on battle system/skits. I love this cast, even if it is kind of One Piece.

Persona 5 - PS4

Good

For me, I would say that this game firmly met its expectations, which is saying something. The cast is good, the gameplay is phenomenal, the story is pretty OK. It's a bit too easy on Normal, but then again, maybe I just know how to play Persona.

Breath of the Wild - Switch

Good

Not much I can say here that hasn't already been said. A stunningly good game, the best in the series. Takes risks and succeeds tremendously.

Addendum:
Nier: Automata, Nioh, Horizon: Zero Dawn, - PS4

Good

Really quickly - I also played these three games, but not as much as the others. From what I can tell, any other year, they all could have been GoTY candidates.
