Animal Crossing Amiibo fest got bad reviews. I don't recall Zip Lash getting great reviews. Same with Code Name Steam.

Big-name est IPs often get more lenient reviews from critics for various reasons. Some of it is rose-tinted glasses. Other times pressure from publishers blacklistting for bad reviews which Ubisoft and Bethesda have done. Some reviewers just don't care what others think and got Jeff Gerstman fired for being honest. He was not kind to Fallout 4 but Rooster Teeth people on a podcast covered in Fallout 4 merch shit all over Giant Bomb for not saying it's a 9/10 game while they wore pip boys. Games journalism is a big fat joke. It's not so much a free pass as it is politics most the time.
