Uncharted: Golden Abyss
Execution · Practiced Mastery
The PlayStation Vita Uncharted, a portable cinematic treasure hunt with touch controls.

Villa economy and route planning, lightly
Uncharted: Golden Abyss
Collectible hunting and encounter knowledge
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.
