In the indie landscape, absolutely. Tons of unique experiences with plenty of heart, affordable prices and the devolpers of which understand what people love about videogames and what they don't want to cope with. Essentially: games made by gamers, for gamers. Most of my best videogame experiences of the last decade came from them.

In the mainstream/AA/AAA landscape? Lol, no. First party and big third party names treat consumers and their own medium like absolute garbage: games launching half-baked, games more expensive than ever, paid online, retro catalogue only partially available and via subscriptions (no ownership), micro transactions everywhere, tons of paid DLC that in previous decades would have been included with the game at launch, many games being designed exclusively by a marketing team with zero heart in them...

It's a mixed bag. In my humble opinion, 7-8th gen was peak in terms of satisfaction.
