Yes! They are.
Tales of fans are especially insidious i found, always claiming the latest title to be a return to form when it never is. Burned me out of them and the series.
With that said, Persona 5 really is good. I say this because if you played persona 3 or 4, you know this is a quality series and why. Horizon, is alright but just another open world to the pile. The witcher can be seen as the same.
But yes, i think i even made some posts criticizing people who constantly go: This is the best ever! This is a master piece!
They are either constantly living the dream, are easily influenced or it's cognitive dissonance.
