  Right, Terraria and Stardew Valley constantly releasing new content for free is lowering standards… 🙄

  So it sounds like you’re talking about knockoffs and not indies in general. Trying to make them equivalent ignores that the majority of game design innovation has come from indie games for many years.

    No, I’m still talking about indies in general.

    I gave 1 example because giving more isn’t worth my time.

  Symphony was incredible for the time, but its difficulty was all over the place and pretty much becomes zero in late-game. Many, many Metroidvanias by indie developers have far surpassed SotN in quality.

  Both are great. Here are some great indies:

  • Factorio
  • Hollow Knight
  • Subnautica
  • Celeste
  • Hades
  • Tunic

  That covers a wide range of genres, none are particularly derivative, and those are just off the top of my head.

  I play great classics all the time, but I also play great new indies.

    Yeah, I think all of those games are trash.

    But I’m glad you like them.

      Your standards are weird. Several of these games are considered the current pinnacle of their genres.
