Spec Ops: The Line
Execution · Practiced Mastery

Templar guards are entirely scripted
Spec Ops: The Line
Enemy squads follow fixed scripted assaults

Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines
Compact fixed maps leave few surprises
Spec Ops: The Line

Optimization5 vs 4

Route knowledge and counter timing are quickly solved
Spec Ops: The Line

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.
