A bunch of my friends from college kept telling me I've gotta play it, espectially because among them the only other game they all played was R6 Siege. I wasn't too enthused considering all the discussion I can find of the game says it sucks now. When they eventually got me to play it I found it... ok.

Based on the demographics of those friends, I'd say it's mostly popular among people who, if you asked them if they were really into games would say yes, but if you asked them for any "hidden gems" they've come across would give suggest highly recognizeable non-AAA games like Helldivers 2 or Balatro. Partly because their definition of "really into games" is that they play games that have an esports scene (even if their competitiveness goes only as far as playing in ranked matchmaking).

Sound pretentious for me to put it that way but I find that to be the pattern.
