Axis by axis
Execution5 vs 5
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dishonored
Blink timing and combat inputs matter.
Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal
Faster combat demanding strafing and aim precision.

Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dishonored
Guard AI scripted, non-adaptive.
Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal
Campaign is scripted; legacy multiplayer added a thin PvP layer.
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dishonored
Patrol timings vary mildly.
Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal
Unknown encounters only on first playthrough.
Optimization7 vs 7
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dishonored
Power combos and stealth routes solvable.
Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal
Weapon XP, bolt economy, and route mastery decide everything.
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.
