Does anyone feel like gaming is having a "rainassance"?

indie games are having lots of traction, like Pizza tower, Helldivers 2, Lethal Comapany and others towering over AAA games (if you can still call them AAA whit the lack of innovation, immagination and quality.

I've been getting really into "hell".
Both as a mindset and as something to strive for, in an organizational sense.

I just love the increase of story-driven narratives! And if I'm honest, in my books, what defines a good game is not graphics or how much money was put into it, but the story. Game mechanics are also super crucial, but without a story to drive motivation (or to tell us when to stop) it turns bland fast.
