Every heavily praised game gets those types of comments. No matter how good something is, give it to 100 people and chances are 1 or 2 of them will feel differently to the general consensus of that group. They might not hate it, but they likewise might not think it's the greatest thing ever. Expand that to millions, and you end up with a lot of people feeling that way.

If TLOU2, RDR2, and SMO all get 90+ scores, they'll all get similar comments.

I think that it's not only that, if it's popular/sells a lot is another factor. I haven't read too many comments like these on Nier, Ni-oh or Persona 5 for example 

Sales definitely further amplify the effect. If a game gets amazing reviews and is popular enough that it starts pushing outside its general target market, it'll end up with some players that aren't interested in what it has to offer.

It has happened a little bit to Persona 5 too. The latest entry seems to have grown far outside the original market of the series, so some people are buying it based on reviews or recommendations and are sitting there like "wtf is this?" :p
