Execution8 vs 8
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Neko Navy
bullet-hell dodging precision
Super Mario Odyssey
Precise platforming and capture-move tech ceiling.
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

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.
