Fluid traversal and aimed particle powers
Sunset Overdrive
Grind-rail momentum and mid-air shooting reward clean hands
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

DUP enemies run fixed scripts
Sunset Overdrive
Mutant hordes are pattern-driven, never adaptive
Variance1 vs 2
Sunset Overdrive leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
inFamous Second Son
Seattle sandbox is deterministic
Sunset Overdrive
Horde mode spawns mix things up slightly
Optimization5 vs 5

Swapping power sets and upgrade routing
Sunset Overdrive
Amp builds, traversal lines, and style multipliers are solvable
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.
