Threading precise inputs through scripted guard gauntlets aboard a controlled and memorisable facility.
Sniper Elite III
Execution · Practiced Mastery
Plannable stealth routing punctuated by precise ballistic marksmanship.
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery); Sniper Elite III leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).

Guards radio for backup on scripted triggers, not adaptive tactics
Sniper Elite III
Enemy AI follows mappable alert and search routines

Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
Alert timers and item pickups create some hidden-state tension
Sniper Elite III
Patrol details and wind vary slightly per attempt
Optimization7 vs 6

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
Chokepoint memorisation and radar manipulation are learnable and repeatable
Sniper Elite III

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.
