That's an understandable point. And I'll add one example to it. A reviewer could feel disappointed that in the several years since the game originally came out, and with all the work that went into the DLC and the updates, they mostly used those resources to address the less crucial problems of the original.

I also remember 'the passage of time' and the things that come with it (new games, advancement in technology, etc) being commonly cited as a reason why a gaming magazine I used to read commonly gave late but somewhat improved port a lower score than the original.

I've been saying since RE released that had the game been delayed and released years later in the form RE launched in it and had the cancelled DLC in the season pass would have been received a lot better. I think the development was just chewing up money and they wanted it out the door but they did so at a time where in the long run it gave a negative perception as looking at the open world games that have come out since 2016 (RDR2, BOTW, HZD, GOW, N:A) they all knock it out the park, I don't know if IGN still do their second opinion reviews like they did before.
