Spider-Man: Shattered DimensionsThe Matrix: Path of Neo
Axis by axis

Combo timing and traversal demand moderate hands
The Matrix: Path of Neo
Combo chains and bullet-dodge timing ask moderate hands

Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions
Bosses and enemies are fully scripted, never adaptive
The Matrix: Path of Neo
Agents follow scripted combat patterns
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions
Linear levels with almost nothing hidden or random
The Matrix: Path of Neo
Set-pieces replay identically once seen
Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions
Upgrade choices and learning boss patterns carry the rest
The Matrix: Path of Neo

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.
