Sniper Elite 4
Long-range ballistics, bullet drop, and wind compensation are the core demand

CounterSpy
Procedurally assembled levels stay unknown until entered
Sniper Elite 4
Wind direction and enemy patrol timing add first-run uncertainty
Optimization6 vs 6
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
CounterSpy
Managing DEFCON risk and weapon plans is systematic
Sniper Elite 4
Synchronised shot timing and route planning reward methodical preparation
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.
