I will add that having a bit of an open mind & not placing your expectations too high will most likely help one's experiences when deciding whether to indulge oneself to an uncertain title. Granted it would also help if you are not in a crunch financially.

And heck, look at what a game like Undertale was able to pull off.
Now that there's a Switch release date for this, I may try it out in the near-distant future.

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.
Not to mention having these indie games out coupled with genuine player feedback also gives room for more beginning game developers to gain some experience & clout, and perhaps have more financial room and/or other resources to develop & produce higher quality games. Of course, they are also at a risk of going through the same cycle lots of major game developers are going through with their major franchises.
