Edit: It took 3 hours but Steam servers are stable now, I finally bought it. See you on the other side

    Am I the only one that is shocked that this game is popular in the first place? Let alone popular enough to tank Steam?

      Why is it so shocking to you? It’s jenre is popular since the beginning of gaming. It has super popular predecessor. The developers are loved for their love for their game and respect for gamers. It’s been waited and memed for 7 years gaining something of a HL3 fame. There’s no indication that the game is not at least as good as it’s predecessor(10/10 on steam, 90 on metacritic). It will probably be contesting for the game of the year awards with Claire Obscure. With all that it’s 20$.

          I didn’t try to change your opinion. You asked the question why it’s so hyped, I answered. If you want to know more about the game you should read reviews or watch streams(luckily there are too many of those right now).

          Not at all, I played the first game, found it interesting but didn’t finish, late game was too hard for me. Still, the game was probably the best you could find in this genre and the developers are really sweet. The hype is well deserved and unlike Valve they actually delivered.

        No idea i’ve seen a lot of people surprised it’s actually popular. Even had one person try to tell me it was only being meme hyped up like morbius was.

      You’re not wrong, it’s just a mediocre sidescroller with a cult following - it’s the Taylor Swift of video games
