As someone who played this for the first time in 2024, I can say the hype is not just nostalgia. It actually is a great game that has aged very well especially in the story, voice acting, art direction and fresh combat. The downside is that it has an obnoxious amount of bugs and the UI is absolutely tiny over 1080p without mods. Still, 100 hours of an extremely fun game for ~5 USD is well worth putting up with some annoyances. 9/10
