Red Dead Redemption
Execution · Practiced Mastery
Open-world western about an outlaw forced to hunt down his old gang.
The Saboteur
Optimization · Practiced Mastery
An open-world action game about blowing up Nazi installations across a stylized black-and-white Paris.
Red Dead Redemption leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); The Saboteur leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery).

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.
