Optimization · Practiced Mastery
An open-world hero shooter where you hot-swap a squad of three agents to dismantle a supervillain organisation.
Batman: Arkham City
Execution · Practiced Mastery
An open-city sequel deepening freeflow combat and predator gadget play.
Agents of Mayhem leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery); Batman: Arkham City leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).

A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
