I'd like to say that "hits all the same beats" is a horrible millennial term we should all hate on from now on, but it's actually kind of an old industry term. Maybe it shouldn't have leaked out into the review world, but it is seeing increasingly common use.
Now for the boring part - definitions. A 'beat' is a subdivision of a scene, and a scene is a subdivision of an act. A beat is thus a specific few moments within a scene that are visibly separate from the other beats. Each beat will have its own intent, and these beats, when strung together well, keep the viewer interested in the scene as it progresses. If you extend this definition into metaphor a bit, then any one beat will have a certain look and feel, all designed to evoke a certain result in the viewer. Thus, a reboot that is using all of the same elements and maybe even also the same pacing as the original piece is 'hitting all the same beats'. As in, Star Wars: the Force Awakens hit all the same beats as A New Hope.
In this SCL case above, though, the reviewer is implying that "SCL will never hit all of the same wonderful beats as Baldur's Gate, but there's still a good time to be had with it". -If I can be so bold as to put words into someone's mouth after only reading a snippet.
