Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 1
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Gentle steering of the city; minimal dexterity.
Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge
Interface is point-and-click; no timing or precision required
Reads0 vs 0

Airborne Kingdom
No adversaries; ground towns offer fixed quests.
Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge
All puzzles are scripted; no opponent models the player
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Airborne Kingdom
Resource spread across the procedural map varies mildly.
Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge
Some item locations are initially hidden but deterministic
Optimization8 vs 8
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Airborne Kingdom
Balancing lift, weight, fuel and layout is the core puzzle.
Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge
Multi-step puzzle chains reward systematic item and dialogue mapping
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.
