So it’s not that “modern games suck” either?

At this point I think you gotta look inward to figure out what it is that you even want.

You say that as if indie is a singular genre. There are so many different kinds of indie games doing so many different things, I can’t believe anyone who would write them all off and claim they can’t find anything to enjoy ever.

My tastes have increasingly narrowed with age as I know what I like most, and the niches I like are pretty detached from what mainstream AAAs chase after. That said, every year I find at least a few new releases that I enjoy. And I don’t think that will ever stop being the case. I ignore the games I don’t care about and play the games I do.

There’s also the fact that I’ve settled into a few games that I really love endlessly grinding, and so it’s hard for other releases to pull my attention away from just playing my favorites some more. I’ve got a backlog of JRPGs, a genre I know I’ve always liked, and yet I hardly make time to finish them anymore…
