Lost Planet: Extreme Condition
Multiplayer modes add some mind games

Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
F.E.A.R. 3
Encounter layouts are scripted-but-unknown first time
Lost Planet: Extreme Condition
Campaign encounters are fixed
Optimization4 vs 4

Thermal energy management and boss weak points
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.
