Does not matter.
Its a GOTY game that cant sustain 30 fps even tho the gameplay would profit from a smooth framerate. If the gameplay would see no improvement with better FPS (like a turn based rpg) that would not be much of a problem but fluctuating framerate or low framerate kills precision of aiming. Therefore it cannot be better than a game that does not have this flaw or a similar flaw and obviously cannot be a 10/10 game.
I mean how is that even possible? Unless the industry and media changes their GOTY standards or remove the GOTY from that specific game I will cherry pick that every time I can.
If you make a game that has flawless or near flawless gameplay but would have monaural sound or be 320x240p it can still get goty as long as the gameplay (which is related to the word GAME) does not suffer. A shooter like battlefield with snipers etc would obviously suffer from low resolution. A game like Guacamelee not if the game would have visuals that have the low resolution in mind.

I was under the impression that gaming was a form of entertainment. The end goal is to "enjoy" the game. I enjoyed TLOU more than i had any game in years and it would appear so did many others, critics and players alike. That's a good enough reason for something to win GOTY in my books ^^
On a side note, very few people consider a 10/10 an actual indication of perfection (for obvious reasons). You can't have a linear scale without properly definable points of reference. Because of that, a "perfect" score usually just refers to something the critic or player believes is best/among the best of what they have personally experienced. There's more to it than performance. Me enjoying a mildly unstable 720p/30fps game over every perfectly locked 1080p/60fps PC title i played that year is proof enough for me.
