I agree with your appreciation for Wrath, but I found HAT to be reasonably amusing as well.
Each is of its era, I suppose.
Wrath is a scrappy 3x homage to “first edition feel, third edition rules”, with its references to Greyhawk 1e adventures, but in the homebrew-like Izmer on the verge of howling wilderness setting, much improved over the high magic oodles of CGI dragons Izmer in 2000 movie.
HAT feels very mainstream 5e to me - big budget, sometimes gonzo, light in tone/doesn’t take itself seriously/winks knowingly at the audience, Sword Coast as “the” D&D setting.
