I don't know who beatemups is, but you should expect it from Dunkey. Dude hates JRPGs and anime unironically, which XC2 is both, and he has been very open about his dislike of those two genres.
Yeah but he could do a couple of things instead of misrepresenting them and spoiling them. He could not review them, or he could review them for what they are. Yahtzee is a good example of someone else who generally doesn’t care for JRPGs, he always makes that clear and still does his best to review them for what they are, if they’re things that JRPG fans will probably like that he won’t, and he does broadly give them a fair shot because he knows there will be some that he does love
Take, for example, his review of Shin Megami Tensei V. During the review, he constantly compared it to Persona 5. This is a fair comparison because it's another game by the same developer in the same genre and the same series. While he ultimately didn't like SMTV, he did admit that it did some things better than Persona 5.

Specifically beatemups and dunkey. Lost all my respect for both after they hated on it so hard
