Reviews are not meant to start from 10 and then subtract due to flaws. They're an overall measure of the experience. I may feel that Captain Toad has far fewer flaws than GTAV and may even be perfect at what it does, but that is not going to mean that I would score Captain Toad a 10 or even higher than GTAV. It has been the industry standard for years not to factor framerate drops in the scores of bi open world games, because they don't matter to the experience that much, as opposed to fast paced shooters and fighting games. And with BOTW, there is a mode that eliminates them almost entirely, making the whole argument moot.
