Careful aim and kiting in limited inventory combat matter
Watch Dogs
Cover shooting and driving at modest difficulty
Reads1 vs 1
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Replika AI follows aggressive scripted loops, not player modelling
Watch Dogs

Enemy respawn timing and some item locations add limited uncertainty
Watch Dogs
Guard placements are knowable on approach

Inventory management, puzzle solutions and route planning are central
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.
