911 OperatorvsRaft
Neither is harder. They score identically on all four axes, so the difference between them is in kind, not degree.
911 Operator
Optimization · Pure Optimization
A management sim where you dispatch police, fire, and medical units while handling emergency calls.
Raft
Optimization · Pure Optimization
Growing a floating base by solving resource chains and research order against scripted ocean threats.
911 Operator leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); Raft leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).
911 OperatorRaft
Axis by axis
Execution2 vs 2
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
911 Operator
Mild time pressure juggling simultaneous calls
Raft
Shark hook-attacks require minimal timing
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
911 Operator
Callers are scripted, never model you
Raft
Shark and seagull AI are scripted with no player modelling
Variance4 vs 4
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
911 Operator
Incident types and call outcomes arrive randomly
Raft
Island loot tables and resource drift introduce randomness
Optimization7 vs 7
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
911 Operator
Fleet placement, staffing, and dispatch protocol are solvable
Raft
Raft expansion, food chains, and research order are solvable systems
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.
