Like others have said, mainly hype. There's I thing called "Hype Culture" - it's mainly a term used in the hypebeast community, but it works for this case. Pretty much people get their expectations too high and get really disappointed with a game, and that's fine to a degree, it's just when people get emotional is when the really angry reviews come in.
