Axis by axis
Execution4 vs 4
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Real-time action, dodge and parry windows
Prey (2017)
Wrench and Gloo timing modest.
Reads1 vs 1
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

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.
