Alien Breed Evolution
Aliens charge on scripts, nothing adapting to you
Doom (1993)
Enemies follow scripted patrol and attack patterns, not adaptive
Variance3 vs 3
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Alien Breed Evolution
Spawn timing and ambushes add unpredictability
Doom (1993)
Enemy placement is fixed but unknown on first run through levels
Optimization5 vs 5
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Alien Breed Evolution
Ammo and upgrade management reward resource planning
Doom (1993)
Level routing and resource management determine survival 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.
