While excitement and anticipation for a new game are natural, overhyping can be detrimental to the overall experience. When expectations become too inflated, the actual game might struggle to meet them, leading to disappointment among players. Overhyping can create unrealistic assumptions about gameplay, graphics, and features, which can result in players feeling let down even if the game is objectively good. It’s important to maintain a balanced perspective, allowing the game to be enjoyed for what it is rather than what it was overhyped to be.
From the few leaks I’ve seen, it starts really slow for the first hours in an attempt not to overwhelm the player. I’m guessing the initial reactions once the game is out will be that the game “is boring and linear” 🙄
