Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Alltynex Second
Bosses are fixed patterns, not adaptive
DOOM (2016)
Demons scripted attack patterns.
Variance2 vs 1
Alltynex Second leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Alltynex Second
Patterns memorizable, little true randomness
DOOM (2016)
Minimal encounter randomness.

Alltynex Second
Learning safe routes and sword timing optimizes survival
DOOM (2016)
Rune and weapon mod picks meaningful.
