Rebound? There are more games made in a year with diverse mechanics than could possibly be played in a year. Itch.io, Kongregate, Steam, "IO games" like agar.io, game jams, VR games... There's a lot of shitty games being made but there's not a lack of good ones. |

I am happy to find new places to look for good games... But I don't consider "game jams" a serious suggestion, because they're not finished games. I think lots of cool games get prototyped and never made, that doesn't contradict my point or solve my problem.
I have spent a lot of time looking through Steam and it has resulted in my opinion as stated. I have also looked at a lot of VR games and not seen anything particularly outside-the-box reach the level of complete game.
I hope you are right, but telling me "just look for them!" isn't helping. I've spent hundreds of hours looking. Can you give me more specific guidance? Or narrow your list of suggestions to the ones that you think will help me find finished games that aren't just rehashes of older, well trod game types?
I'm not saying games about something don't exist. I'm just saying they are incredibly rare and the entire game industry could disappear and it probably wouldn't affect the rate at which such games get made.
