Black Myth: Wukong is too mediocre for all this drama

That still seems like a fairly positive review of the game.

The criticism is that it doesn’t shine brightly enough in one area and that the developers are gross.

New things are always an hazard. Players should simply rediscover the forgotten art of "wait and read some review about". From the video of "before you buy it" on youtube, to the numerous articles who popup since day zero, there are plenty chances to knew how good a game is before you pay money.
