The last three games I fell in love with; Hollow Knight, Ori, Souls Series, have me believing this. You can build amazing games with a smaller team these days which is incredibly inspiring.

Think of Valheim too — a team of 5 made one of the best selling titles of 2021 with a 95% rating on Steam to this day. That's freaking impressive!

Also Outer Wilds, Subnautica. Small teams that have made Game of the Year winners.

Souls is part of Kadokawa Corporation (which has investment from Tencent). Ori's studio is independent but they've had pretty close ties to Microsoft.

I've been playing Control on consoles, great game, independent studio. Not a small studio either.

Hollow Knight was great; if I hadn't nearly fully completed it at the time I probably would have started another playthrough already.
