Project I.G.I.: I'm Going InvsWatch Dogs
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
Project I.G.I.: I'm Going In
Execution · Practiced Mastery
Planning and flawlessly executing long infiltration routes with no safety net.
Watch Dogs
Optimization · Practiced Mastery
An open-world action game where hacking the city's infrastructure is your main weapon.
Project I.G.I.: I'm Going In leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Watch Dogs leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery).

Axis by axis
Execution6 vs 5
Project I.G.I.: I'm Going In leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Project I.G.I.: I'm Going In
No mid-mission saves makes every shot and sprint count
Watch Dogs
Cover shooting and driving at modest difficulty
Reads0 vs 1
Watch Dogs leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
Project I.G.I.: I'm Going In
Guards follow alarm scripts, punishing but not adaptive
Watch Dogs
Online invasions add a small human element
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Project I.G.I.: I'm Going In
Patrols vary slightly, mostly memorisable layouts
Watch Dogs
Guard placements are knowable on approach
Optimization6 vs 6
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Project I.G.I.: I'm Going In
Planning infiltration routes through bases is the core test
Watch Dogs
Hacking chains and camera routes make stealth 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.
