Axis by axis

Timing-based parries and execution prompts, forgiving windows.

Combo timing and traversal demand moderate hands

Ryse: Son of Rome
Enemies telegraph from fixed scripts.
Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions
Bosses and enemies are fully scripted, never adaptive
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Ryse: Son of Rome
Almost fully linear and scripted.
Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions
Linear levels with almost nothing hidden or random
Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Ryse: Son of Rome
Combo multipliers and execution-perk choice are shallowly solvable.
Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions
Upgrade choices and learning boss patterns carry the rest
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.
