Execution · Practiced Mastery
Prequel spectacle brawler notable for bolting a gladiatorial multiplayer arena onto Kratos combat.
Kingdom Hearts III
Execution · Practiced Mastery
The saga's flashy conclusion sending Sora through Pixar and Disney worlds toward the Keyblade War.
God of War: Ascension leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Kingdom Hearts III leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).

Kingdom Hearts III

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.
