I'm not sure if it's a hindsight related fallacy or not, but I've become suspicious of products that get wide promotion and hype.
Back when Gloomhaven was new, it seemed like it was the talk of the town for lack of a better term.
Now consider that leftist will never allow themselves to promote or endorse anything that doesn't score high enough in their purity tests.
That leads to the only conclusion that anything that gets hyped big in SJW-infested communities like board games is exclusively because it is woke enough to get promoted / astroturfed. Thankfully, like video games, the under-the-radar indies are still discoverable (for now).
Some hype, but a lot of it was earned. Gloomhaven is actually damn good. I've played through two full campaigns in it, one with a 3 player group and one with a 2 player group. In the co-op dungeon crawl category, it's easily the best game out there.
