The Amazing Spider-ManvsThe Lord of the Rings: Gollum

Axis by axis
Execution4 vs 4

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum
Climbing and stealth timing are loose and forgiving

The Amazing Spider-Man
Villains and thugs follow movie-script patterns
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum
Orc patrols loop fixed routes
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
The Amazing Spider-Man
Open city events are static templates
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum
Levels are static 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.
The Amazing Spider-Man
Upgrades and side-mission routing are shallowly solvable
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum
Stealth paths have clear intended solutions
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.
