What games are you into then?
I find when people don't like any of what AAA has to offer, its usually because they've found a subgenre or niche that is extremely their jam, and the big budget games usually aren't aiming at that market.
I like to put my money behind games that are doing something new and unique and/or have a great art style. I don't always even get into them or play them, but I'm happy to support the devs for doing something new or beautiful.
I feel like it might be easier to list some AAA games that I do like than indie games many may not know. Borderlands 1 and 2, Doom 2016, Dying Light 1, Horizon Zero Dawn, Mass Effect trilogy, Outer Worlds 1 (jury is still out on 2), Uncharted series. Honorable mentions to AA games Atomfall, Clair Obscur Expedition 33, and Helldivers 2.
