I don’t think the hype is over the top at all tbh. A small studio with a fraction of the AAA budgets we see just put all the big devs absolutely to shame with a complete, gorgeous, polished experience. It’s a focused narrative experience with incredibly deep combat mechanics and some of the best voice acting I’ve heard in years. Original story, great execution (so far, haven’t finished).

Never said it was undeserved. The devs did a lot of things right, and they deserve all the positive feedback they get. It just didn’t click with me personally in a way that I felt like I needed to add to the hype.

I think you’re splitting hairs when clearly I understood what you meant. Fine: “the level of hype is deserved.” I feel like the opening sentence and explanation was adequate but if we need to be prescriptive about it then fine.
