I feel as though there's a few gems in the rough. You just need to know what you're looking for, watch a video of the gameplay prior to purchasing it, and see if it's something you'd like. I'll admit, there were a few titles that I thought would be good and maybe had a very nice eye-catching cover art, but then the actual gameplay didn't look like it amounted to much and had reviews that sounded like there were a lot of deal-breaking things going on.

Ori and the Blind Forest, Armello, and This War of Mine are three examples of games by indie developers that I found to be extremely good. And heck, look at what a game like Undertale was able to pull off. These indie hit games are out there, and I think it's important to have them. It would suck if all we got were just sequels to sequels over and over again by the big name developers. Franchises are fine and good, but after a while you can really tell when they've been over-milked and it feels like they should have been put to rest.
