    I stopped playing AAA games years ago. They are all trash.

    Indie games are where it’s at

      They’re polished, but nearly all of them are too safe.

      The ones that subvert things a little are always best for me, and these always get mixed reactions from people who went in with a set idea of what they wanted from it.

      Red Dead Redemption 2 being a slow paced wild west simulator rather than Grand Theft Horse is a prime example. It didn’t play by safety and doing popular things. It did what they wanted it to be, and it’s all the better for it.

      Not all, but yeah. 75% of my wishlists are weird and interesting indie stuff from the constant Steam demo fests.

      I’ve mainly been an Indie gamer since 2012 or so. My last gaming build is almost 7 years old, but I think the last AAA game I played was during lockdown and that was just because it was a way to hang with friends. At this point I just play indie ports on my phone.

      Funny enough, after going through my Steam recently played, the last AAA game I enjoyed was Nier.

      The good ones are solid tho and last a long time, I do prefer indie/smallteam for the most part now
