Except people in these forums and Rare themselves have tried to convince us that it will still be a Banjo platformer the long time fans will recognize. IGN is just saying that is not the case.
Speaking of cherry picking, you make it sound like the OP was mischaracterizing the perception of the article. Well, you left some of their reactions out:
"There are significant concerns with the game, too. Aside from the very obvious point that a lack of substantial variety in challenges is likely to get wearisome very quickly"
"Banjo's undulating environments really don't suit a physics model that's clearly more comfortable with flat surfaces and we found the driving precision the game demanded to be utterly exhausting."
"Technically, yes it's very clever, but clever doesn't always equate to fun and the lack of concessions to the arcade nature of the game made for an incredibly frustrating experience."
"Nuts & Bolts feels like two promising concepts shoe-horned awkwardly into a single, unsatisfying whole."
"You can never jump away from Conclusions. Getting back is not so easy. That's why we're so terribly crowded here."
