After 6 years of hype, can Hollow Knight: Silksong really live up to the sky-high expectations? (www.pcgamer.com)

I don't think it'll live up to the hype but it'll still be a great game.

Another great example of hype-train beastmode is No Man's Sky. By the time it came out people were talking about it like they'd be plugged into the matrix. That's the last time I let myself be carried away even slightly by hype. I was super pessimistic about NMS compared to what my friends and people online were expecting. I was still grossly disappointed.
By the time CP77 was getting ready to release I figured it would be a bare bones looter shooter, bugged to all fuck, with a story duct taped to it's carcass. Essentially DOA. So I was actually pleasantly surprised when it was a quite fleshed out FPS RPGish shooter with the storyline woven solidly through. Still bugged to all fuck though.
