I would actually say that they tend to be considerably worse.
Games that are just MVPs with a massive, fully featured microtransaction store, often featuring a story by committee, visuals that arent any better than five years ago, shitty ai, filled to the brim with bugs, and all running at less than 60 fps on good hardware.
Fuck new big games.
I’ll take a 10 hour to finish, passion project by an indie dev over AAA every time.
