Hitman 3
Guards scripted; routines repeat.
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Commandos 3: Destination Berlin
Unknown patrols only until scouted, then fully mapped
Hitman 3
Some patrol timing variance.
Optimization9 vs 9
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Commandos 3: Destination Berlin
Each mission reduces to a solvable sequence puzzle
Hitman 3
Levels are puzzles - routes and disguises 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.
