Steady aim against scripted alien swarms with an upgrade economy underneath.
Serious Sam 2
Execution · Practiced Mastery
A cartoonish horde shooter sequel of planet-hopping monster massacres.
Alien Breed: Impact leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Serious Sam 2 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.
