Black Myth: Wukong
Fixed encounters; minor secret discovery
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
Almost no randomness; encounters are deterministic.
Optimization7 vs 7
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Black Myth: Wukong
Spell builds, transformations, and moveset study
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
Boss decks and prosthetic choices are fully 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.
