Resident Evil 2 leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Hitman: Blood Money
Modest aim and sneak demands once a plan exists
Resident Evil 2

Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Hitman: Blood Money
Crowds and guards run fixed routines
Resident Evil 2

Resident Evil 2 leans clearly harder on variance.
Hitman: Blood Money
Accident opportunities hidden until discovered
Resident Evil 2
First-run item and enemy placement is hidden information
Hitman: Blood Money leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Hitman: Blood Money
Accident-kill routing is a near-solvable planning puzzle
Resident Evil 2
Routing, ammo economy, and puzzles fully converge on replay
