The SendingStone review

The Giant Ape is a formidable creature in terms of its statistics - it sports a high AC, a large pool of HP, and a challenging CR. However, some may argue that its placement as an unaligned creature with low charisma and intelligence makes it a rather two-dimensional opponent for players to face. Its primary attack, a powerful fist strike, may also be seen as uninteresting compared to the abilities of other creatures. Overall, while the Giant Ape may present a decent challenge for players, it may lack the depth and complexity that some may prefer in their encounters.
