A character-driven slice-of-life game testing emotional attentiveness rather than puzzle solving.

LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7
Collectibles are fixed, just initially unknown
Night in the Woods
Minimal randomness; story beats are authored
Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Spell-gated collectible routing is the real activity
Night in the Woods
Dialogue and exploration have no puzzle layer to solve systematically
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.
