Assassin's Creed II
Optimization · Practiced Mastery
Ezio's Renaissance revenge tale of parkour, assassination, and villa-building across Italy.
Little Nightmares
Execution · Practiced Mastery
A dark puzzle-platformer about a tiny girl in a grotesque world.
Assassin's Creed II leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery); Little Nightmares 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.
