Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Conflict: Global Terror
Enemy placements surprise only on first playthrough
Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Patrol density and item placement are consistent across runs

Squad orders, positioning and mission routing reward planning
Splinter Cell: Blacklist
