Axis by axis
Execution5 vs 4
Red Dead Redemption leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Red Dead Redemption
Dead Eye softens but gunplay still wants aim
Tormented Souls II
Survival-horror aiming and dodging under resource pressure.
Reads1 vs 1
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Red Dead Redemption
Multiplayer skirmishes add light human prediction
Tormented Souls II
Fixed monster behavior, not adaptive to player.
Variance2 vs 3
Tormented Souls II leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Red Dead Redemption
Ambient events and spawns vary mildly
Tormented Souls II
Scripted-but-unknown enemy encounters and item placement.
Optimization5 vs 5

Red Dead Redemption
Mission approaches and economy are learnable
Tormented Souls II
Resource management and puzzle solutions are learnable and 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.
