Dragon Age: InquisitionZup! X
Axis by axis
Execution3 vs 3
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dragon Age: Inquisition
Action-leaning combat, dodge timing matters
Zup! X
Minimal dexterity to trigger explosions
Reads1 vs 0
Dragon Age: Inquisition leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.

Scripted enemy behaviour
Zup! X
Solo - no opponent to model
Variance2 vs 1

Dragon Age: Inquisition
Some loot randomization
Zup! X
Deterministic physics puzzles, no hidden randomness
Optimization7 vs 7
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dragon Age: Inquisition
Crafting, specialization, war table planning
Zup! X
Finding the right explosion sequence is the puzzle
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.
