Totally. There are some excellent AAA developers too (e.g. Naughty Dog, Remedy, Santa Monica, FromSoft, Kojima) but I'd say the biggest surprises for me have come from AA studios and indie developers – Animal Well, Clair Obscur, Returnal, Silksong, Crypt Custodian, Celeste, to name a few. I mean, there are tons of crappy indie games too, but the amount of creativity and quality in the indie scene is stunning.

Can't recommend Bandcamp fridays enough.
There's never been such an abundance of games and consoles as there is now. There are more games than anyone could ever play, both new and old. Releasing another poorly made remaster doesn't mean no ones making new original games. I don't think there hasn't been a year I didn't play an original, engaging and creative new video game. It's literally the golden age of gaming.
Japanese and Italian. What is life without katsukaree and pizza?
Also in Fromsoft games runbacks are a deliberate design choice that forces the player to take a quick break after dying to a boss.
A dream with spiders.

Blasphemous 2 is more enjoyable than Hollow Knight
Blasphemy!
Blasphemous 2 never dethroned Hollow Knight.
"Welcome home, good Hunter. What is it you desire?"
The first one is my all-time favourite, the second one is alright/watchable and I absolutely detested 28 years later. The first act seemed interesting enough and I liked the "Junji Ito" slug zombies, but it was all downhill from there and I just felt weird watching it. What a mess.
