To be fair, me and a friend spent an entire evening getting nowhere on Demon Souls and kinda gave up haha.

I keep looking at Bloodborne, but the memory of Demon Souls makes me reconsider... that said, I never tried Dark Souls 1 or 2 because of Demon Souls.

Yeah, I know I've let myself in for a lot of flak here... but I have to say, I totally get the article writer's point.

Well, the game is openly marketed and perceived as hard, so it's not ok to make a review talking badly about it because.. it's hard.

Actually, in Europe, it was just initially marketed as an amazing must play game. I read a few reviews giving it 9/10 and ran out and bought it that same day on my lunch break having never heard of it.

However, I would disagree with your point in general, because the reality of what you're saying is if a company marketed a game as "this is total trash", then any reviews saying it was total trash aren't okay.

I actually play and love games that are perceived as being hard by some. I was not ready however for the utter own fest that Demon Souls handed me haha.

However, I can also appreciate that people have different tastes. As long as you're open and honest about those when going into a review, I don't see the issue. All reviews are opinions. This wasn't a review either though to be fair, it was an opinion piece from someone else.
