I'm pretty sure nobody cares about this?

My main gripe with indie games since forever has been that they're usually boring. They often fall into creative traps that ruin the whole thing. Gameplay is constant grind, minmax, pointless choices, funnels, and "inspired" by some tired old genre. Music and art can be good, but not in the last decade or so anymore. The final nail is if there are political undertones. It's as if every developer out there only listens to their own echo chambers on discord and reddit.
