Quick-time prompts are forgiving and rarely fail the story
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

The Walking Dead
No opponent - characters follow the script

The Walking Dead leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Fort Solis
The mystery is fixed; only first-playthrough ignorance hides it
The Walking Dead
Branch outcomes are hidden on a first playthrough only
Optimization2 vs 2
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Fort Solis
Light log-hunting is the only system to engage
The Walking Dead
Choices barely gate progress; nothing meaningful to solve
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.
