What would disqualify Hollow Knight? It has a great story, deep lore, exceptional music, lengthy campaign with solid gameplay mechanics, hand drawn art style but somehow it shouldn't be considered because it's made by an indie studio?

Because its not the best at any of those. I dont know when that game came out and what its competition was. But lets say it came this year. Does any of those are better than the current big hitters like ragnarok or elden ring or horizon? Not even close.

Its not that its because its a small studio. Its rather that small studios dont tend to be competitive due to their limitstions. Its not that they cant, hellblade showed us that an indie can goe toe to toe with AAA. But thats very rare.

Are you even listening to yourself. This has to be the worst opinion I've ever seen on this site and I've seen plenty of absolutely moronic opinions on here. I'd consider hollow Knight nearly flawless, I honestly can't think of any major issues at all for it. Whereas with ragnarok I can point to the dragged out atreus sections, characters giving away puzzle solutions, inconsistent dialogue as some very major issues with the game.

Anyway indie devs are probably the only ones actually keeping this industry interesting, they're the ones taking actual risks and trying to push the boundaries of what can be done in the medium.
