Metroid: Zero MissionvsZombie Shooter 2
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is variance, and it is a single point.
Metroid: Zero Mission
Execution · Practiced Mastery
Remake of the original Metroid with modern movement and a stealth epilogue.
Zombie Shooter 2
Execution · Practiced Mastery
A top-down shooter about mowing through zombie hordes with upgradable weapons.
Metroid: Zero Mission leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Zombie Shooter 2 leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).

hidden passages unknown only once

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.
