Accessibility on some level does relate to the scores in a review. Since these reviews are a measure of quality, so long as a game is considered accessible for the reviewers whom tend to be expert game players then they generally get an instant pass mark. However a pass mark from a reviewer does not mean that a game gets a pass mark from the general gaming public. I don't see how making a game less accessible can make it a better game when the game is a blockbuster title. If the game was catering to some niche then you would apply a different standard, however neither game is what you'd call a niche title.
Accessibility is a 'good quality' of a game which can be one of its many good qualities. The more good qualities a game has then the better the overall quality of the title.
Tease.
