There have also been some pretty hyped games that ended up being disappointing. For example:

  • Starfield
  • Modern Warfare 3
  • Cities Skylines 2
  • Gollum
  • Overwatch 2
  • Payday 3

And that's just the past year.

There were also plenty of fun games as well. But OP isn't talking about those, they're merely pointing out that this seems like a fun game, which contrasts with the anticipated, but poorly executed games from the past year.
