    The nice part is that the indie game dev space has grown enough now that there are dozens of amazing games coming out every year, so AAA titles are becoming increasingly irrelevant for a growing number of gamers.

    I’m trying to think of the last AAA game I played, and I’m coming up blank… Maybe Doom Eternal a year ago? Almost all of my playtime is indie games. I’m debating getting the Monster Hunter bundle from Humble, which might be the 2nd AAA game I play in as many years.

    The last time I paid full price for a AAA title was Diablo 3, which I almost instantly regretted. What a disappointment.

    Edit: Not getting Monster Hunter. I forgot that Capcom added DRM that breaks Steam Deck compatibility. I probably won’t bother playing it, but I suppose I could just download a pirated copy.

      I would like to find a indie military first person shooter single player campaign but it is a massive struggle. I don’t like any space creature shooter games like Doom series.

      If you do enjoy the gameplay loop of monster hunter in general, that humble bundle is very nice to have. Good value there, lots of hours to be had in both games + both DLCs.
