Execution · Practiced Mastery
Open-world action game where a smoke-and-neon conduit liberates Seattle.
Rochard
Optimization · Practiced Mastery
Solving fixed gravity-manipulation puzzles with light physics platforming.
inFamous Second Son leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Rochard leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery).

Gravity-manipulation puzzles each have a findable solution
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.
