Days Gone
Optimization · Practiced Mastery
Open-world survival action about outrunning massive zombie hordes on a motorcycle.

007 First LightDays Gone
Axis by axis
Execution5 vs 5
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
007 First Light
Stealth timing and shooting matter but stay cinematic-forgiving
Days Gone
horde shooting and bike handling under pressure
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
007 First Light
Guards run scripted detection AI, never adapting
Days Gone
freaker AI is scripted swarm logic
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
007 First Light
Patrol layouts unknown only on first pass
Days Gone
patrols and weather shift encounters slightly
Optimization6 vs 6
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
007 First Light
Route planning through guard patterns is the core test
Days Gone
horde routing, traps, and gear prep decide fights
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.
