Lords of the Fallen

DmC: Devil May Cry
Color-coding turns encounters into solvable matching puzzles
Lords of the Fallen
Builds, lamp routing, and moveset memorization
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.
