itch is full of low quality generic slop made by restrictive game engines. A few good games. A few.

    So exactly the same as flash games?

    I hear you, but not quite - Flash games had more of a blank canvas and there was no obvious way how you would build your game, leading much greater and richer variety.

    Itch stuff is far more formulaic

    Nonsense.

    You have RPG games, rogue-likes, VNs, puzzles - literally all the kinds of games in existence are right there on Itch. It's exactly like back when Flash was popular, only this time it's more secure and less resource hungry (most of the time).

    Hmm on second glance you might be right. Still, I find it hard to find any good web games, there doesn't seem to be a rating system (perhaps for good?)

    Any standout games you can recommend?
