There are concepts like perseverance and honesty. If the game is difficult but your job is to make an impression of the game, you try harder and retry and retry until you get it. If you simply can't on such a short notice, especially when nobody besides you had such difficulties, you admit that you just aren't good at this kind of things instead of blaming the game. I suck at fighting games but I don't blame the genre.
My girlfriend used to game sporadically a while ago, but lately she didn't have the time or money to truly invest in that. She was always on PC too so she practically never touched a controller before. I've made her play Ori, which a lot of people consider difficult - so do I. She died a lot, probably close to a thousand times. Simple actions with the controller resulted in troubles as she was not used to the One's controller - or any controller. But she made it, finishing the game 100%. She could have done like this guy, failing a jump 3 times and go "okay this game sucks ass". But apparently someone who's barely even a gamer would be a better journalist than an industry veteran.
