The ETR 600 is a class of trains built by Alstom, and are used on the routes between Roma-Bolzano and Roma-Trieste. The train tilts, using Pendolino technology, allowing higher speeds to be maintained through corners without causing discomfort to passengers. The trains are operated by Trenitalia, originally under the Frecciargento (Silver Arrow) branding used for trains capable of travelling between 250 km/h and 285 km/h, In 2022 they were rebranded under Frecciarossa (Red Arrow) after the Frecciargento branding was retired.
The ETR 600 has also been adapted for use in China as the China Railway CRH5 Hexie. Initially 60 sets were ordered, of which nine were manufactured by Alstom and 51 by CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles. Since, another 80 sets have been created for a total of 140, operating across China's north from Beijing to Ürümqi.

It was partly growing pains but they also intentionally worked with the technical limitations of the medium. All good art is informed by it's medium, so I think that's what you're feeling when everything just gets washed over and feels samey.
I kind of liked Indika as a horror-ish experience and part of it was because it was okay with being a video game produced in our current era. The state of the current medium is so unlimited because of sheer computing power now which makes it harder to feel the boundaries of the constraints to get creative, but there is SO MUCH they could do with things like shaders and graphics that are better aesthetically than just "hey doesn't this look kind of real?"
Maybe that's why the AA and pure indie space are doing better creatively, because they're being limited by time and the programming know how of a handful (or even one if solo dev) people whereas because the space of possibility is so wide open to big publishers they're having issues nailing anything aesthetically interesting down
