Ori and the Will of the Wisps
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A more combat-forward sequel with sharper platforming demands.
Mega Man 2 leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Ori and the Will of the Wisps leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).

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.
