I like indie games for walking sim and story heavy games only. Outside of that, 99% of indie games feel like some pixel art bs retro rip off roguelike nostalgia cash grab. I hate garbage ware like meatboy, etc.

If AAA studios weren’t so shitty, I feel like half of the indie studios wouldn’t have a chance.

Your opinion is valid, but “AAA” studios have lit themselves on fire, and a shit ton of objectively great games have come out and absolutely dunked on them.

A great example of this is balatro. It’s none of what you described, it’s nowhere near your typical cash grab AAA and it’s just a good game that did extremely well.

Another example would be Hades, just a monster of a good game.

Blasphemous 1 & 2, unknown studio, fucking killed it.

Also if you prefer not AAA games for story, what actually is a AAA game?
