Project I.G.I.: I'm Going In
Patrols vary slightly, mostly memorisable layouts
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Tomb unknowns dissolve after one visit.

Planning infiltration routes through bases is the core test
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Tomb puzzles, crafting, and collectible routing are solvable.
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.
