Miniature Golf

Red Dead Redemption 2
Gunplay and Dead Eye reward aim and timing.
Reads1 vs 1
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Miniature Golf
Solo or alternating play, no opponent to read
Red Dead Redemption 2
Enemies use scripted AI patterns, not adaptation.
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Miniature Golf
Fixed obstacles, little randomness
Red Dead Redemption 2
Some hunting and weather randomness, lightly hidden.
Optimization5 vs 4

Miniature Golf
Judging angles and distance for each hole is solvable
Red Dead Redemption 2
Loadouts and routes solvable but loose.
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.
