Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 1
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Chants of Sennaar
Stealth sections require basic patience not twitch reflexes
Pharaoh
Mouse-driven building at gentle pace
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Hidden glyph meanings require exploration to uncover
Pharaoh
Occasional events and invasions, mostly predictable
Optimization9 vs 9

Chants of Sennaar
Deciphering each language layer is a systematic closed deduction problem
Pharaoh
Walker logistics and city layout are deeply solvable
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.
