Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Among the Sleep
Scares are scripted-but-unknown on a first run
Grand Theft Auto V
Some mission and lobby randomness.
Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Finding memory objects and routes solves each chapter
Grand Theft Auto V
Heists, money loops, builds learnable.
