I hardly ever consider looking at AAA games. All my time is spent on indie games.
It’s the same with movies, music, books…the big corporations try to make a safe, mediocre, standard experience that will have the broadest appeal without taking risks. To find really good stuff, you need to look to creators who really care about the art (which is a lot more work and has higher risk of being boring, but higher potential for reward too).
