The majority of your list is over 5 years old and nothing newer than 2 years old. That’s not a great counter to the pointnof the post. Indie games are largely a massive pile of garbage that maybe once a year has something good come from it.
It’s not like every game that came out in the past was good either. Shovelware nearly destroyed the industry twice. When people look to the past, all they remember are the gems, nobody remembers the trash that used to fill up demo discs that came with gaming magazines. Music, TV, movies, books… it’s all like this, gaming is not unique.
It’s harder to cite recent indie games of good quality because they oftentimes take a lot of time to get noticed. A great example of this is Outer Wilds
