Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Army of Two
Scripted setpieces
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.

Weapon upgrades and aggro manipulation
Grand Theft Auto V
Heists, money loops, builds learnable.
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.
