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.
Far Cry 3
Shooting and stealth fundamentals matter.
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
Cover shooting and platforming reward timing.
Reads1 vs 1
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
Essentially no randomness.
Optimization4 vs 3
Far Cry 3 leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Far Cry 3
Skill trees and weapon mods quickly mastered.
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
