In some ways I am with you. I see a lotta indie games as just knock offs of older games, no new ideas. Somewhat generic. Admirable, for being independent groups, but not my bag most of the time.

The retro-styled "boomer shooter" genre that has popped up in the indie scene, though, fills a hole considering AAA devs aren't doing anything there, and the mainstream FPS genre currently, IMO, has gotten kinda shitty with everything being some variation of BR, which I was already tired of from playing the mods the style originated from before it was a mainstream thing.

There are also those indie games out there that truly innovate and make something unique and new. I'm all for those.
