Many reviewers are young, as in their mid 20s, and did not get to play as young kids games such as Battletoads, Castlevania 1-3 or the NES Ninja Gaiden games.
Tropical Freeze is a throwback to games like those, it is the closest thing we can get nowadays to a high budget difficult 2D platformer.
The difficulty in Tropical Freeze is very polarizing, that is the main issue. There are other issues, they may think 2D platformers are a "lesser" video game genre, "this game is not what the Wii U needed", "this game is not a new Metroid". Another problem is that many of the new platformers are very easy games with a great artistic presentation, you basically play to advance strolling easily through the game to "unlock" the pretty things the developers created, and this game is not like that, you can only advance quickly once you have mastered and memorized a level.
