I've got so much bang out of hypnotic gaze. I used it all the time, being able to take a selective one enemy out of the fight for your action is pretty solid imo. Sure like against 5 bandits its not great, but against a ogre and 5 orcs its pretty dang solid, or against two giants fantastic.
If the range was more than 5ft I would agree. For me, hypnotic gaze is an "oh crap" button when all else has failed. I try to be positioned such that hypnotic gaze is not a viable option. if it was the same 30 ft range as instinctive charm, I'd use the heck out of it.

Any time an unfathomably powerful entity sweeps in and offers godlike rewards in return for just a few teensy favors, it’s a scam. Unless it’s me. I’d never lie to you, reader dearest.
Fair enough, I had no issue approaching and using it. Admittedly it becomes much safer to try that at level 3 when misty step becomes available. But a bit of risk to take a strong enemy out of the fight is worth it imo.
I'm usually reaching for sleep to try and take out multiples at low levels, and other spells for higher levels. I guess it's a view of tactics there.
