The indie scene isn’t anywhere close to competing with AAA despite how far it’s come. As someone who enjoys indie games, they scratch different itches.
Now if Nintendo released something like this I might actually enjoy the Animal Crossing series again. The dialogue in the newer games is so soulless and repetitive.
I have only played 1, 3, and Infinite. My halo experience has been great and I never really felt the burnout or lack of innovation.
