I don't need to play Wukong to see that it's grossly overrated by the "anti-woke" crowd. AstroBot got hated on for "robbing" GOTY from a goddamned 80 scored video game. I didn't see as much animosity from Rebirth and Metaphor fans.
BUT... I've watched enough videos to appreciate the narrative and artistic charm. I really liked the character designs and portrayal. The game had a strong sense of poetry. Combat doesn't look great but it goes without saying I'd have to play it myself to confirm. I didn't think FF7 Remake's combat looked particularly good before I played it years later. Sekiro didn't seem "GOAT tier" either until I played it.
If it's not clicking with you, it doesn't matter what everyone else says. Everyone swore Ys8 was an incredible game... and then I played it lol.
Edit: Speaking of the devil, I just got a reply to a Youtube comment I made a week ago:
"Stellar Blade and Wukong stomp it (AstroBot)"
Perhaps it's a message for LegitHyperbole and KratosLives to shake hands!
