Graveyard Keeper
Light action farming inputs
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Graveyard Keeper
Villagers run on fixed schedules
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Balancing lift, weight, fuel and layout is the core puzzle.

Sprawling tech trees and grind-route efficiency
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.
