There are plenty of high quality games from small studios. Everything Supergiant Games makes is gold, with excellent art direction and sountrack. Klei Entertainment also has a solid track record. If you're looking for the AAA cinematic aesthetic from a small team, let me introduce you to Senua's Sacrifice (back before the team that made it got bought out by Microsoft). And lest we forget, Stardew Valley was unbelievably successful and the passion project of one guy (who's even self-publishing now). Additionally, between UE, Unity, and Godot, I don't feel like it's a lack of tools holding studios back. If you wanted even more games (but why - we're already drowning in a flood of them), one of the big steps might be to provide a stable funding solution for new developers so they didn't need to play financial Russian Roulette to create their art.
