FIFA 20vsSplatoon 2
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is reads, and it is a single point.
FIFA 20
Execution · Grand Arena
A football sim where reading opponents and precise execution both decide matches.
Splatoon 2
Execution · Practiced Mastery
A team shooter where aim and positioning against human opponents controls the map.
FIFA 20 leans Execution (Grand Arena); Splatoon 2 leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).

Execution7 vs 7
Same score on execution - 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.
