Execution · Practiced Mastery
The PS2 sequel escalating Kratos's mythological rampage against the Sisters of Fate.
Mark of the Ninja: Remastered
Optimization · Practiced Mastery
A 2D stealth game where planning a clean route matters more than combat.

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.
