I didn't say indie games were better, nor did I imply that most indie games are better than most AAA games.
But I strongly disagree that the most creative or the best game will ever be mainstream. When is the last time a AAA game came out like Baba Is You? Celeste? Hollow Knight? Those are games I play and replay because they're so enjoyable and memorable. Nintendo makes great games but I don't feel any of them are quite the same experience as the best indie games I've played.
- cousin_it 7y agoCeleste is a Mario-like, Mario was mainstream. Hollow Knight is a metroidvania, Super Metroid and Castlevania were mainstream. The Witness is a Myst-like, Myst was mainstream. I like the indie scene as much as the next guy, but it's 90% based in nostalgia.
- OnlineGladiator 7y agoI chose Celeste and Hollow Knight for being the best in the genre, not for creating a genre. The creative game I mentioned is Baba Is You.
